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.

RE: wth is wrong with disny and nickelodeon these days?
The 90's shows were great. Stuff went downhill after that. I guess that's what happens when art turns into business. I do know two shows that aren't too bad. There's flapjack and adventure time with finn and jake. Very rich with references. Oh, that spongebob. It's not that far from family guy. Same mindless lunacy and the unlimited sexual jokes.

When I was little, there was a show on cartoon network that wasn't a cartoon. It was called banana something or something. There were people in big animal suits.

Bananas in Pajamas?
Maybe. Maybe I'm confusing two shows together in my memory.

Oh jesus, the one that came on in between commercials or something, the one where they'd generally act stupid and tell retarted jokes and such?

RE: wth is wrong with disny and nickelodeon these days?
1990s, the performance is great. Things went downhill after. I would like this business into an art, what would happen. I know that is not too bad the two programs. Fenn and Jack adventure flapjack and time. The reference is very rich. Oh, the sponge. This is not far away from family guy. The same unconscious mental disorder and unlimited joke.

Yep,that's just,well not very helpful for us.
Hidden stuff:
"CONSENSUAL incest is not wrong. (Abuse victims: being abused by a relative does not make it wrong for others to have consensual incest, any more than rape by a stranger makes all sex wrong. Sex and assault/molestation are two different things.) An aversion became common in humans that aided in population growth as one disease couldn't wipe out the human race. That's not a problem anymore.
Consensual incest is very common. You know people who have been involved, whether you know it or not.
There is no rational reason for keeping laws or taboos against consensual
incest that is consistently applied to other relationships. Personal disgust or religion is only a reason why one person would not want to personally engage in what I call consanguinamory, not why someone else shouldn't do it. An adult should be free to share love, sex, residence, and marriage with ANY consenting adults. Youthful experimentation between close relatives close in age is not uncommon, and there are more people than you'd think out there who are in lifelong healthy, happy relationships with a close relative. It isn't for everyone, but we're not all going to want to have each others' love lives, now are we? If someone thinks YOUR love life is disgusting, should you be thrown in prison?
Some people try to justify their prejudice against consanguineous sex and
marriage by being part-time eugenicists and saying that such relationships inevitably lead to “mutant” or “deformed” babies. This argument can be refuted on several fronts. 1. Some consanguineous relationships involve only people of the same gender. 2. Not all mixed-gender relationships birth biological children. 3. Most births to consanguineous parents do not produce children with significant birth defects or other genetic problems; while births to other parents do sometimes have birth defects. 4. We don’t prevent other people from marrying or deny them their reproductive rights based on increased odds of passing along a genetic problem or inherited disease. It is true that in general, children born to consanguineous parents have an increased chance of these problems than those born to nonconsanguineous parents, but the odds are still minimal. Unless someone is willing to deny reproductive rights and medical privacy to others and force everyone to take genetic tests and bar carriers and the congenitally disabled and women over 35 from having children, then equal protection principles prevent this from being a justification to bar this freedom of association and freedom to marry.
Some say "Your sibling should not be your lover." That is not a reason. It begs the question. Many people have many relationships that have more than one aspect. Some women say their sister is their best friend. Why can’t their sister be a wife, too?
Some say “There is a power differential.” This applies least of all to siblings or cousins who are close in age, but even where the power differential exists, it is not a justification for denying this freedom to sex or to marry. There is a power differential in just about any relationship, sometimes an enormous power differential. To question if consent is truly possible in these cases is insulting and demeaning.
Some say “There are so many people outside of your family." There are plenty of people within one’s own race, too, but that is no reason to ban interracial marriage. So, this isn't a good reason either. Let consenting adults love each other the way they want!"-Keith Pullman

True Jackson

Even Stevens
That's So Raven
The Suite Life of Zach & Cody
What the hell is it about these shows? I can't put my finger on what's really so bad about them? They're all terrible in the same way... All the characters are, to quote Tawny from Even Stevens, "whoop whoop funny". I.e., vomit-inducing.
Like, ok, in Good Luck Charlie, they get detained by the owner of a store because the baby grabbed something off a shelf and the family almost walked out with the item. wtf wtwf wtefwtsfsfsafsdf
They're all like that. I think maybe it's the ridiculous scenarios combined with the unrealistic and unrelatable characters and the stupid sound effects and the stupid laugh track. IDK. Wat u think?
How the fuck could the OP hate on Drake and Josh? That show was fucking awesome!
Victorious was a bit more iffy, never really liked that show. I liked That's So Raven as well.
Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon are better than the heap of shit they were back in the mid to late 2000s, sure, but definitely not back to the glory days of 1992-2004.
