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.

the kids who fill the army

My high school is crazy, kids here have been abused, are/were depressed and suicidal, we all have therapists, some of us are certifiable sociopaths, or close to becoming some (I was so close). Allot of us had violent fantasies and were bulling each other or extreme introverts (hurt/scare away others before they hurt you, take out anger on society, ETC). Several kids said "I'm going to join the army so I can kill people without getting in trouble and burn out and die.

and we wonder why their are shootings of civilians, depressed angry punks, they could just as easily be black bloc anarchists or gang bangers

Well they have to take into account that only a portion of the military is infantry and most don't get in.

RE: the kids who fill the army

Sounds like I'd fit in there just nicely. Sorry for assuming this, but is it an inner-city school?

If you're reading this, I killed myself.

There is no such thing as "black bloc anarchists". That's like saying "picket sign anarchists".

Without knowing the context behind this I can't make a complete judgement of it, but:

The barricade makes sense. Basic stuff.

If the windows broken were that of corporate chains that use evil practices, I'm fine with the property destruction. It also helps bolster spirit for other people who aren't as brave, and it good outreach for people who aren't overtly political but might have the same feelings towards consumerism.

Anyways, I see what you mean.

levio: I think that these kind of violent anarchists have the same mentality as soldiers and gang bangers.
