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.
I was looking up some videos about Neil Degrasse Tyson after seeing the space videos that Derchin posted, and I stumbled on a monstrosity of condescension and arrogance. Watch carefully, as you may want to throw a chair violently.

lol, the only reason I didn't watch it at first is because I thought of fucking and then disemboweling her and ripping out her urethra.
My thoughts didn't get graphical at all, though.
She seems to have a lisp.

Like HoS says, the stupidity doesn't surprise me. I didn't even bother watching it. I just feel good thinking about the irony where she insults C students for being dumb when she is really as dumb as a rock.

The funny thing about this, Albert Einstein got Ds in school, yet was a motherfucking genius. I was an A and B student for a long time, but that's only because I was good at what school thinks defines intelligence, memorization and writing things over and over again; If this girl thinks memorization, and rewriting things you all ready know is a sign of intelligence, than I think we know who the real idiot here is.

He did well but he hated school and the structure in place and even after failing a test to a college(because his French was weak which was the language of the test), he later brought up that it was full of errors.
He was smart but not becacuse he had good grades. He had good grades because he was smart. And like most "actual" smart people, he hated school from a young age.
