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.

Coca-Cola and Pepsi are changing the recipes for their soft drinks to avoid being forced by law to put a cancer warning on the label.
The caramel colouring in the drinks will contain lower levels of 4-methylimidazole, which has been added to the list of carcinogens in California law.
Coca-Cola's recipe is being changed across the US - but will not be changed in Britain or the rest of Europe.
While we believe that there is no public health risk that justifies any such change, we did ask our caramel suppliers to take this step so that our products would not be subject to the requirement of a scientifically unfounded warning
Diana Garza-Ciarlante, from Coca-Cola
Under the legislation, drinks containing a certain level of carcinogens must bear a cancer warning label.
Coca-Cola and PepsiCo account for almost 90% of the fizzy drinks market in America.
The changes have already been made for drinks sold in California.
The companies said the new recipes would be rolled out across the US to streamline their manufacturing processes.
FUCK I DRINK A LITER OF COKE A DAY... DOES THIS MEAN I'M GOING TO GET CANCER? seriously though, I don't think I will get cancer with how much I drink, I'm much more likely to get diabetes than cancer from this.

Apparently nearly everything we eat is supposed to help cause cancer lol
I only drink soft drinks on occasions. I have this thing where if I don't eat healthy I feel like shit (mentally) and force myself to eat healthy food lol

Do you know how much of the chemical was linked to cancer-causing properties? Because that really matters.

From the very article HoS quoted but coincidently missed out hmm i wonder why that is Wrote:The Food and Drug Administration said a person would have to drink more than 1,000 cans a day to reach the doses administered that have shown links to cancer in rodents
ergo the only way you'd get cancer is if your bloodstream became cola

I was suspecting this the whole time, but couldn't ass myself to read the whole thing.
Scientists: Consuming substance X for 3 years with 5L a day will usually increase cancer growth by 50%.
Media: SHOCKING DISCOVERY! SUBSTANCE X CAUSES CANCER!
