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.

'My past was not illegal': Gay porn teacher allowed back to class, a year after being

A teacher fired last year when his gay porn career came to light has been reinstated.

Shawn Loftis, a substitute math teacher at Florida's Nautilus Middle School has been told he can come back to class after being sacked last year when the principal came across his past work on the internet.

It transpired that Loftis had acted in and directed a series of gay porn films called World Of Men, with titles including Mo' Bubble Butt, Humping Iron, and Desperate Husbands.

Shawn Loftis, of Miami Beach, was fired in January after the principle of Florida's Nautilus Middle School found out about his gay porn past

Loftis, of Miami Beach, started up Collin O'Neal Productions in 2005. Under the O’Neal pseudonym he would travel the globe to exotic locales such as Lebanon and Serbia, celebrating gay porn's ability to transcend border.

Between scenes of the International Relations graduate cavorting with local hunks, he'd give viewers tours of famous monuments and settings, complete with historical context.

And on the side he worked as a reporter for CNN iReport, famous for his 'citizen reporting'.

He sold the porn film company in March 2010 to pursue his real passion of teaching, but January last year he was told he would not be allowed to return to school for five years.
Loftis would travel to exotic locations to make his films, which were then posted on the internet


Now the decision has been reversed. Not only can Loftis take up his substitute position once more, he can now apply to be a full-time teacher.

He said he hopes to guide students away from making the same mistakes as he, adding that what he did was not illegal.

Speaking to the LA Weekly, he said: ‘This is my past and I left it behind. I can use my experiences in life to teach kids.

‘The key point is that they said when you go back to the classroom and a student brings this up to you, you will be able to handle that. I thought that was highly progressive of them.

‘I'm proud of my state. I was really shocked that the state of Florida was going to do this. I'm happy.'

I find this exceedingly humorous, so much so that any anger I could have at the school system for being hesitant to hire him is completely overshadowed by the humor.

God, I'd love to have him as my sub, just to make fun of him.

^ Yeah, I love how the principal just happened to stumble across a gay porno with the sub in it.

How did they find out about this porn? lol
There's nothing wrong with that, it's just another job, most white-collar workers suck more dick than him.
But it'd be funny if the students saw his videos.

Seriously? God, I love how Americans are so prude. "Oh my gawsh, a nipple on TV, censor it". "OMG, a teacher doing gay porn, don't censor it, fire the fucking teacher. And then censor it."
