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.
School-Survival has primary moral intentions? Huh, newfags say the darnedest things. SS has diversity among its members, and it's all the better for it. We've had teenage pedophiles, thieves, rebels, and saints. We've had people with their head shoved so far up their ass that they lost grip of what we consider reality. But the truth is.... the truth is that there is no reality. Only imperfect perceptions of it. Your perception of it is just as flawed, and just as correct as everybody else's on here. You are right and you are wrong. You are a genius and you are stupid. You are a fuckwit and you aren't a fuckwit. Just like the rest of us...
Who am I? Who are YOU?

Quote:l don't respect most of the people in it. But you seem to at least *try* to be fair yourself. l'm sure you have good intentions.
Thanks.
Quote:As to the founder of this forum, and school-survival, l would like to tell you straight up that you are full of shit. l know l said that before, but l guess l said it here again because it perfectly describes you.
Wait wut? I must have missed the part where I personally did something bad to you. But whatever...
Quote:Anyway, l applaude your ability to make money legally by pretending to be somebody who is courageous when really, you're just a lying tool trying to make money on the internet. Bravo.
Yeah, because I totally make a lot of money from the forums. A lot. Like $0 per day. That's a lot...
Quote:lf you want to keep the site up, l suggest you put ads in it. Because seriously, the primary moral intentions have already rotted. If you put more ads around your site, you would at least make more money.
lulz, I make enough money, ads on these forums would make very little, and most of the ad networks I'm aware of don't want their ads showing on pages with lots of swearing...
Quote:Nothing civil and fair is going to come out of your keeping the site up.
The site and forums are 2 seperate entities. And I'm going to keep trying anyway. I don't take negative people seriously.
Well, it was nice knowing ya. Good luck out there and stuff...

The only way to convince someone civilly would be if they have some form of rationale, and don't have such a thick head. Most all the members in this site are stubborn moronic pricks who don't even know what the site is for.
l would like to thank the site for allowing me to lose all of my previous preferences on morals and helping other people. Thank you for making me understand that some people will never change no matter what. As in the saying, "Old dogs can't learn new tricks", it seems very applicable to such a cesspool.
I will now exit this site full of pretentious assholes who suck and are too stubborn to see so and will no longer further post anything more after this final post.

Your stupid members can continue to call other members derogatory, insulting names. But l will put up with it no more. Your site is full of hypocrisy and supposed information that not even you are supporting.
Now, not only do l think my life sucks, l'm almost certain that life as a whole sucks as well as society; and not only that, there is no hope for this group of degenerate assholes.
Conclusively, l'm glad l never joined until now, and that after about 3 days worth of experiencing this crap over a wasted weekend, I will take no more part in this bullshit site.
Good bye fuck wits, and have fun being in your delusion that "everything is alright and will always be."

You're welcome.
Another satisfied and reformed person has left SS training school and off into the world to make a difference. Whether that difference is saving what's left of humanity, or going on a savage rampage, I cannot say. However, I will say this: no matter what you're doing, ALWAYS...enjoy yourself, and remember SS.

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.

Hilarity. Basically, this guy endevor joins, seems to be a decent guy, Actually puts content into his posts. But then he gets his panties in a wad when he realizes that SS isn't an idealistic sanctuary full of people who want to overthrow the current school system. Then he gets offended by the term newfag. I tried to be friendly and explain what it was about since he seemed new to the whole internet culture but then he started raging even more and began attacking me and other members in some sort of ridiculous moral outrage. After that people just started taking cheap shots at him calling him things like newfag, faggot, pussy, etc...
It was pretty damn funny.

May be try to get into some kind of community, see if theirs a food not bombs, habitat for humanity, homeless shelter, animal shelter, sports team, co-op, any kind of community and join it. It gives you a purpose and cures the roots of depression (alienation)
