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.
Seriously, whats so special about that "Charlie bit me" vid??
Its got a shit load of views, 448 million as of today (yeah i checked) but all I see is just two little kids acting like, well, LITTLE KIDS!! the only things special about it is the British accent they speak and then the little baby laughing afte he bites his bro's finger. Other than that, it's freaking boring, am i wrong here??

This has been a test of the emergency pointless argument system. Had this been a real pointless argument, someone would have been called a facist.

TRIGGER WARNING: THIS TRIGGER WARNING CONTAINS TRIGGER WARNINGS!
Dear Tumblrites:Despite your wrongly self-diagnosedPTSD, no line ofscientific evidencesuggests people can be triggered over theinternet. Triggering works through thesenses(i.e. smell, taste, touch, vision, hearing.) but it goes throughreal time; if you're not experiencing it in real life as it'sACTUALLY HAPPENINGin yourACTUALlife, youCANNOTbe triggered. The only exception to this is if you have aseizure, but then again, that's triggered byepilepsy(i.e. rapidly-changing flashing lights)NOT PTSD. Remembering a bad incident is NOT the same thing as having aflashback. When you remember, youthink; when youflashback,youfeel.

The thoughts had become corporeal on their own account, were ghosts, e. g. God, Emperor, Pope, Fatherland, etc. If I destroy their corporeity, then I take them back into mine, and say: "I alone am corporeal." And now I take the world as what it is to me, as mine, as my property; I refer all to myself."The Ego and Its Own, pg. 15

Youtube + video of baby laughing/crying/having a non-American accent = shitton of views from mothers across the globe.
I dislike most kids too, especially the younger ones who's parents don't even try to shut the fuck up when their screeching at a fault-shattering volume in a quiet store/theater/library/etc.. , like their screaming is actually cute or something. We don't need anymore fucking babies on this planet.

Internet hypes tend to exist sometimes without any real logical reasoning behind it. I think it has to do with "Hey, everyone else is watching it, maybe I should to" followed by "Wow, this many views must mean people liked it!".

Every non-trend viral video I've encountered and my opinions.
Peanut Butter Jelly Time - Catchy
Rick Roll - Funny
Sparta Remix - Funny, and shows great deal of editing skill
Angry German Kid - Funny
Charlie Bit My Finger - NO ENTERTAINMENT VALUE!
Keyboard Cat - Cute (But the sequels sucked due to inflated ego and inferior song choices)
Nyan Cat - Cute, Whimsical, and good tune
PFUDOR - Cute

For anyone who remembers me going on an archive binge: Thank you all. I know I ended it being a drama queen, I don't really agree with the ideology anymore, and I'm really not the same person I was (I went through a neopagan phase!) but still this site was the first online community I was in. I graduated from school and turned 18. Time flies. KFC Nyan Cat, June 20, 2019.
