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.

Music The Time Has Come

Fellow students, it is time to rise, to rise above the oppression that is our modern educational system and its supporters, the time has come to take back what is rightfully ours. Our freedom, our life's, our childhood. If you have ever felt oppressed, slandered, or walked over by teachers as if you are powerless, and you want a change. Then join the Equalists, we are a new found organization with the soul purpose to bring justice and democracy back to our schools across the country. I call on to you, to notify your mayor, your senator of these crimes and press for a change. We will gather donations, wither it be from selling special merchandise, or simply collecting spare change if it is what it takes. To show to all that we are here to break the bonds of oppression. So join, tell your friends, post flyers in school, spread the word anyway you can. Visit our website(still in construction) and become a Equalist member, where our emblem on your jacket, your binder, so that we can make ourselves known. I, Agent X am calling to you to bring peace to our schools and to take back your freedom.

It's "lives", not "life's". And the whole point of this website is to rival conformance, yes, but not become something to be conformed to in the process. I stand for individualism and true freedom (which isn't something to be "taken back", since essentially it's not at this point something to have ever existed) of thought, not herds following another "cause" soon to be manipulated into unknowing submission. I respect what you're trying to do I suppose, just not the way in which you're trying to do it. Think harder about what it is exactly you're wanting to achieve for yourself and for others -- keyword: selflessness -- and drop the gimmick and cliques since this isn't Anon folk you're talking to. EDIT: Where have SoulRiser and Thought Criminal's posts gone? Laugh

RE: The Time Has Come

the only error i noticed in this dreadfully long post was at the end where he said "where our emblem" (now i noticed that he said he wants us to become "a equalist" member)

other than those things...i'm still not caring about this post

Thanks for the diploma… can I have my childhood back?

I really dont care. There will be a day soon where the system of education changes.
