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 of the stupidest laws that ever came to mankind

http://inkslwc.wordpress.com/2008/10/27 ... teenagers/

Now I am very pissed.
No TOTing when you're above 12 or 13? No TOTing if you're above 8th grade?! What the hell is this world coming to?!

Re: One of the stupidest laws that ever came to mankind

Really? o3o?
Hmm...
Because I keep hearing rumors about how there was (going to be) a law in Illinois (somewhere around my area?) saying that you can't TOT if you're above 12 or 13...
If the area that I live in really has a law like that, I'm gonna just go outside and go to other houses and dance for candy. Probably next year because I forgot to go TOTing yesterday. >n<

Not like it's easily enforceable. They can't check everybody trick or treating for IDs and the cops are usually a bit busier than usual on Halloween.

True. I guess it's one of those laws that just aren't enforced.

The bitchy thing is, what if you're taking your sister or brother? Do you not get candy? Stupid.

Re: One of the stupidest laws that ever came to mankind

Well the lucky thing for me though is that I'm really tiny, even though I'm 16. XD
I actually weigh about 85-90 pounds and I'm somewhere around 5'3" or something.
And people actually think that I'm younger than I really am. Oo
I know that that has its benefits and stuff, but I really hate being tiny. XP

There's a ton of cop forums out there. Same thing for Loss Prevention. Pretty good for getting in to the minds of these scumbags.

Re: One of the stupidest laws that ever came to mankind

Freedom my ass. I think the only people who cannot go Halloweening or TOTing are people that cause trouble. Not a certain age group, that's just dickish and unconstitutional. Damn politics all to hell.
Fuck authority.
