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.

DEA & IRS Raid Oakland Pot Clinic 4/2/12

The IRS & DEA came to downtown Oakland today to raid multiple medical marijuana dispensaries as well as Oaksterdam, an educational facility that teaches plant cultivation.

Robbie Martin of Media Roots ran to catch the raid and captured an intense standoff between the people and the government officials. He also confronts an ABC 7 news reporter after he hears them tell the police they are doing an 'amazing job.'

Fuck the Govs, weed is not a harmful drug and even if it was, just let people do whatever the fuck they want to themselves if its not hurting anyone else.

Very nice of that guy to take a video. Because that fucking channel 7 news reporter was a faggot (who might've had a lobotomy? lol). Fuck the police!

Maybe, I know a few cops who think that pot should be legal as well as most, if not all, drugs or they should all at least be decriminalized.

However... does that make it worse? To know it's wrong but still take part?
