RIP School Survival Forums
August 2001 - June 2017

The School Survival Forums are permanently retired. If you need help with quitting school, unsupportive parents or anything else, there is a list of resources on the Help Page.

If you want to write about your experiences in school, you can write on our blog.

To everyone who joined these forums at some point, and got discouraged by the negativity and left after a while (or even got literally scared off): I'm sorry.

I wasn't good enough at encouraging people to be kinder, and removing people who refuse to be kind. Encouraging people is hard, and removing people creates conflict, and I hate conflict... so that's why I wasn't better at it.

I was a very, very sensitive teen. The atmosphere of this forum as it is now, if it had existed in 1996, would probably have upset me far more than it would have helped.

I can handle quite a lot of negativity and even abuse now, but that isn't the point. I want to help people. I want to help the people who need it the most, and I want to help people like the 1996 version of me.

I'm still figuring out the best way to do that, but as it is now, these forums are doing more harm than good, and I can't keep running them.

Thank you to the few people who have tried to understand my point of view so far. I really, really appreciate you guys. You are beautiful people.

Everyone else: If after everything I've said so far, you still don't understand my motivations, I think it's unlikely that you will. We're just too different. Maybe someday in the future it might make sense, but until then, there's no point in arguing about it. I don't have the time or the energy for arguing anymore. I will focus my time and energy on people who support me, and those who need help.

The forums are mostly read-only and are in a maintenance/testing phase, before being permanently archived. Please use this time to get the contact details of people you'd like to keep in touch with. My contact details are here.

Please do not make a mirror copy of the forums in their current state - things will still change, and some people have requested to be able to edit or delete some of their personal info.

Green Lantern (2011)

Again as most movies, I didn't expect much, in fact I expected it to be a bullshit movie. But eh it was alright. A lot of people hated this movie, but for some reason movies I hate, others like, and movies I like, others hate. Well that's the usual.
The main character I thought was a pretty cool guy (maybe because I liked his flying style) , until right before the final fight he goes in pussy/fear mode. The "elite" aliens looked kiddy lol
But the CGI of the aliens world was pretty neat. And some aliens looked cool from the distance, while others like the red-skinned and 1337 aliens looked shitty.
Though the visuals were neat, the story-line was something that needed improvement, after the intro to about halfway I expected something amazing to happen but nothing did, it just dragged on. Maybe worth a cheap rent or pirate but don't expect much, yet for a superhero movie (which I usually hate), I liked this one better.
6/10

RE: Green Lantern (2011)

I fell asleep at the part where hes learning how to use the ring or whatever it is with the other aliens. Therefore, I am not qualified to review it but from what I saw, its boring as hell

They focused way too much on Hectors daddy issues. Had they used that time instead dealing with Oa the movie wouldve been much better.

RE: Green Lantern (2011)

Somewhat lacking in depth and plot, and didn't seem to do justice to the Hal Jordan of the comics. Otherwise, it was an entertaining little flick.

I'd put a pithy quote here, but I'd rather speak for myself.

Superpowers aren't just flying and lifting several tons. Whatever you're good at, that's your superpower. Learn to deal with it.

RE: Green Lantern (2011)

Green lantern is a heroic movie which has the best creation of 3d animations. It is about to super power which fight oppose criminals. It has the best creation of characters and technologies which make it more attractive.

If you're gonna post and then spam at least make some good posts so then maybe we can remember you as that "spambot who had good posts."
