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.

Attention those who thinks themselves as rebel with a cause

As some of us thought that rebelling against the government thinking of doing something in order to change the country is a rebel at the start, but the idea of rebels in the world are people who tends to destruct making their reputations worse while the society perceive them as low are the real rebels in this country. Those who tries to change the countries using intelligence, rational, legal, and the safest technique are liberators which is an group of people are above the rebels and the society´s status once he/she have enough attention and respect from other people. Rebels tends to cause destruction, dangerous acts, and they haven´t change the society one bit while their timing of attacking on other people are one of the worse timing yet when it comes to changing the country. Striking should be the last resort if the people wouldn´t wanna understand our perspective and people are oppressing us even worse when we try to speak out our mind in an rational and intelligence matter for an long time. Liberators tries to speak out their messages with logical reasoning skills that may influence the society´s thoughts about other people and one example of who I would consider an liberator would be John Taylor Gatto.

Re: Attention those who thinks themselves as rebel with a cause

Yes, I think "rebel" is the wrong word to use. I don't think any of us really do many bad things. lso, rebelling isn't going to make anyone see our cause more.

Re: Attention those who thinks themselves as rebel with a cause

Rebelling (as I see it) is actively and Violently protesting the bullshit that government does. Seriously things are blown way out of proportion, oh this teen isn't following my carefully outlined bullshit rules, REBEL.

Re: Attention those who thinks themselves as rebel with a cause

Rebelling is:
"break with established customs "

Which is what liberators do, right?


Rebelling doesn't have to be violent.

It was what I thought of it as, which is why I stated so.

The thing is, you can't go calling yourself a rebel. You know? If you do, you're screwed. No one will take you seriously.

I didn´t understand the break with established customs part, please define that further and I´ll take a guess that it means is breaking away from the common customs and going to be an individual who want to do something. If that is the case, then liberators are just a whole new level of rebel though they don´t consider themselves one.

MLK Jr. is an example. What he did I would classify as "rebellion". It doesn't have to be violent.

What he did was more so a "progressive movement" (as what most people say about his cause) then actual rebellion. But in any case, sio is right.

TRIGGER WARNING: THIS TRIGGER WARNING CONTAINS TRIGGER WARNINGS!

Dear Tumblrites: Despite your wrongly self-diagnosed PTSD, no line of scientific evidence suggests people can be triggered over the internet. Triggering works through the senses (i.e. smell, taste, touch, vision, hearing.) but it goes through real time; if you're not experiencing it in real life as it's ACTUALLY HAPPENING in your ACTUAL life, you CANNOT be triggered. The only exception to this is if you have a seizure, but then again, that's triggered by epilepsy (i.e. rapidly-changing flashing lights) NOT PTSD. Remembering a bad incident is NOT the same thing as having a flashback. When you remember, you think; when you flashback, you feel.

Re: Attention those who thinks themselves as rebel with a cause

That may be right to a point, but it also seems very much like saying North Koreans shouldn't rise up and do something about their oppression because all it'll do is show their authorities that they need to be controlled.

This is the lie that keeps people too scared to do anything.

Everyone thinks they're a rebel with a cause until they realize they can do jack shit.

It takes a person of true charisma, power, and passion to really get their message across.
