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.

One bright morning...
in the middle of the night,
two dead boys came out to fight.
they stood back to back
and faced each other
drew their swords
and shot eachother.
the deaf policeman heard the noise
and came to kill
those two dead boys.
If u dont believe my story
its true ask the blind man he saw it too!

Me- You have to work to achieve your dreams.
Friend- That's impossible, man. We have tons of dreams.
Me- Well then work on each one.
Friend- How can you work on your dreams when you're asleep?
Friend- Not those dreams...

Passage from book It's not McDonald's fault if you decide to go there and eat ten big macs a week. And it's not their fault if you become overweight and diabetic in the process. It's time that people take personal responsibility for their actions.
Friend- but I don't eat at McDonald's. I eat at BK and BK doesn't have Big Macs.
Me- But he's not talking about you. He was talking about fast food in general and the role of personal responsibility.
Friend- But other places don't sell big macs.
Me- I know that. But--
Friend- (Hands in my face) You fail.
Me- No I don't -
Friend- You. Fail.
-_-
Me- Ugh. I'm annoyed with snobby kids and how they think they're entitled to everything.
Friend #2- If you're rich then you are entitled to everything. Problem?
-_-
Friend #2- Books are irrelevant because we have TV.

"There's no 'I' in 'Team'." Yeah, but there is a "me" in "Team" spelled backwards!
When I cirticize the bible people tell me stupid shit like "jesus/god didn't wanant people to kill eachother (yes they did) they were speaking in 'metaphors'."
That's bull fucking horse shit. "Kill your children if they cuss your parents" IS NOT A FUCKING METAPHOR.
Then there's the "that's the 'english' version, and its heavily mistranslated."
UH, NO SIR
It means the exact same thing. If I saw apple in english and another guy says apple in german we are both talking about the same thing, regardless of words. Have you noticed there is no other translation besides what it says for the bible? THAT'S BECAUSE THERE IS NO OTHER VERSION. ITS NOT MISTRANSLATED YOU'RE JUST A COGNITIVE DISSIDENT FUCKWIT WHO CAN'T UNDERSTAND THAT CHRISTIANITY IS FULL OF VIOLENCE AND RAPE AND MURDER AND RACISM AND SEXISM. READ THE FUCKING BIBLE, SEE FOR YOURSELF!
Aya, if you're reading this, I'm only going to believe the 'new testament factual account of jesus' life' if I see the book for myself. Not what some guy on the internet says.
People lie. Evidence doesn't.

Quote:Me- Yeah. He thinks they're "unnatural."
Friend- Well, it is. People aren't meant to be in love with the same gender.
Me- Says fucking who?
Friend- Nature. Answer me this. Name one species of animal that practice homosexual behavior.
Silent; thinking
Friend- Exactly...
Me- You didn't give me a chance. I was about to say chimps.
Friend- That makes no sense. I never heard anything on gay chimps.
Thridly, even without animal evidence, consider the following: Humans are apart of nature, and since we display homosexual behavior, that proves homosexuality is natural. It doesn't matter about how often it happens of how many species practices it, but rather, that there EXISTS homosexuality AT ALL!
Fourthly, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathetic_fallacy -Nature is not a sapient being that gets to decide and make decisions about how things should and shouldn't be done. Only humans and SAPIENT BEINGS can make that decision.

See those little numbers next to words? They link to online articles and research journals that prove the statement.

Actually wikipedia is reliable. They did a study on all the factual errors per page on wikipedia. They averaged 3.8. But when they studied the Encyclopedia Britanica and found an average of 2.9 per page. So it's not that far behind.
Friend- (Laughing) Chinese kids always say the funniest shit.
Me- But he's Cambodian.
Friend- Whatever.
Me- No "whatever." He's Cambodian. Get it right.
Friend- I don't have time for being specific. It takes too long, man.
Me- Why does everyone boil ethnic people down to simple, yet false terms?
Friend- What?
ME- If he's from East Asia, he's Chinese. If he's from Central or South America, he's Mexican.
Friend- Because people don't have time to figure out someone's race. Especially in this hectic and fast paced life we live. Calling them these races are much easier.
Me- So you rather go around calling people the wrong ethnicity because you're too lazy and stubborn than to say what they really are?
Friend- Yes.
-_-
Driving to school with my dad. We see a Hispanic man in some suit walking down the street.
Dad- Mexican's going to home depot I see.
Me- How do you know he's Mexican? And how do you know he's going to the Home Dept when it's not even near here?
Dad- Well I shouldn't have said that. But it's a fact that Mexicans do come here to take our jobs.
You sound like that annoying fuck who has to correct every little thing, if he knew was cambodian he probably would have said it, but he didn't and made his best guess.

No, he KNEW he was Cambodian and knew it for a long time. And its not just me who had to correct him, a bunch of people had their hands it it. Even the "Chinese" kid had to correct him on multiple occasions.

Dad- What do you think about this whole "president accepting gays" thing?
Me- Its about time.
Dad- A guy marrying another guy or a woman marrying another woman. Disgusting. What if they have kids? Who's the mom and who's the dad? How do they raise them? That kid is going to be messed up.
Me- Well people do find a way.
Dad- Well if some guy walked up to you and asked you out...
Me- I would decline because that's not me. I'm sure other people would do it.
Sister- Well I'm indecisive.
Me- Yep. My two kids accept this stuff. This generation is backwards.
