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.

They don't need to sign up just to read stuff, so I guess that's all most of them want to do.

RE: So many guests

l'm pretty sure it's because of the really provoking "your IP address is recorded when you post". Tbh, l had doubts about signing up too because of that message l had to agree with.

Might be bots. I don't think MyBB distinguishes between guests and bots.

Is that part of the sign up message thingy? I should probably edit that anyway... Scratchchin

That would be good for getting people to sign up, but it would be less moral. Oh well, you've already shown how little moral is in your site anyway. You should compromise your morals more if you want more people to sign up. l'm serious. Yeah, you should edit that message away, because even though most sites actually do that and record IPs, if you actually tell people they're going to get scared 'cuz they don't know better. So just don't tell them, if it's legal, or say it in such complicated language that it is not understandable. Really.

Neither is your site's main goal. It's some artificial cream covered crap that is pretending to be moral and helpful when it's just a big pile of shit.

Where's the morality in bitching at everyone and everything without even trying to understand their point of view?
