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.

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.

Meaning, no cutting of infants because of "culture". "Culture" is no excuse to continue stupid, pointless, and sometimes harmful acts.
I can't wait for the Penis Police to start arresting rabbis and pediatricians. You can be the chief.
Its mutilation if a child does not consent to it. But hey if your fine with cultural fgm then you should be fine with cultural mgm. Otherwise you are a hypocrite and thus your opinion is not based on logic.
I was circumcised as well. I am fine now however i did not want it done and was lied to about it.

I am not saying make it illegal however it should be highly frowned upon if consent is not obtained from the person.
I feel the same with abortion.

Genital mutilation isn't cool, guys. The foreskin is one of the most sensitive parts of the penis, and removing it can also boost a person's risk of developing erectile dysfunction later in life.
Don't cut people up without their permission, basically!

My parents have my permission, retroactively.

Got any sources to back up the whole circumcision causes E.D. thing? I was circumcised and I never have that problem.

Exactly. But really all this means is that it can't be legislated away. It will take societal change to do it. First step, get rid of all the Jews.
I've never let my school interfere with my education.
I'm circumcised and I kind of want to find out who made that crucial decision (ABOUT MY DICK) and kill them. Who the fuck did they think they were? They cut off some of the skin ON MY DICK. That isn't...how did that even come about? Why is it so popular?? You're mutilating a dick!
No, this is Patrick.

We can take their horde of golden foreskins and slaughter them all in a pogrom.
Circumcision should be illegal unless medically required.
I love my foreskin, and I think a guy's dick looks better with foreskin.
Cleaning it isn't hard.

I still don't understand the point of circumcision. It doesnt seem to provide anything. I don't like how my parents decided what happens to MY dick. I'd rather keep my foreskin, and make a decision later in my life when I'm old enough to make my own choices. I'll take the pain of a circumcision if it means I can make my own damn choices about what happens to my own dick.
Oh, and one more thing. Because of the procedure they used to circumcise me, there's a fucking scar on my dick. Thanks, mom and dad.

The only good thing I see from circumcision is in poor, dry countries that have very little rainfaill. The lower-class will circumcise so no water is wasted on cleaning the penis.

Okay, I can understand that. But in wealthy countries who don't have that issue, there's really no reason to cut up someones dick just because everyone else does. Unless your parents are fucking retards, it's not hard to be taught how to properly clean it and avoid infection.

Yeah I remember reading that somewhere, but it's more of a historical reason, now I don't see the use of it.
And I think it's a Jewish tradition.
But anyway, fuck that. Leave the foreskin!

^I didn't watch that.
But at home, I ALWAYS sit down to pee. I just prefer it. However when I go to a public toilet I always go to the urinal, because it's so ikkyy
