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.

Someone hits you, its okay to hit them back. Just don't attack them first. Women, animals, its ok to hit them if they hit you first.
Course, I was taught that when you get in a fight, your life is always in danger. And you need to utilize all your strength and environment to harm them. Never face an opponent with the intent to knock them out, you must come at them with the intent to kill. Either you kill them, or they kill you. You might think its extreme, but really people don't usually know their own strength and if you fuck around they might actually kill you.
oh and then there's this "dirty fighting" nonsense. I think HoS will agree with me, there's no such thing as "dirty" fighting. Fighting is fighting. Fighting doesn't have rules. When you exchange those first fists, anything goes. Throwing sand in eyes, knives, guns, baseball bats, anything goes. What would you think of pussy ass people in history if they told their enemies "Let's agree to not use guns or swords or nukes because that isn't fair. That's dirty fighting!" Yeah. They'll get their head rightly blown off. Clearly they're not using it, anyway.

TRIGGER WARNING: THIS TRIGGER WARNING CONTAINS TRIGGER WARNINGS!
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.

The thoughts had become corporeal on their own account, were ghosts, e. g. God, Emperor, Pope, Fatherland, etc. If I destroy their corporeity, then I take them back into mine, and say: "I alone am corporeal." And now I take the world as what it is to me, as mine, as my property; I refer all to myself."The Ego and Its Own, pg. 15

This. I hate how NATO and shit are all like "don't use chemical weapons, it isn't fair! WAHHH"
Bitch please. The point of a war is to kill your enemy, why are there fucking rules on that? Killing someone shouldn't have "rules". If the only way to kill your enemy is to drench them with chemicals, then so be it.

I hit smarter. Knees balls and eyes motherfucker.
But on a serious note. The first rule of fighting is you're going to get hit. If a woman can't handle that then perhaps she shouldn't lay hands on other people.

I didn't misread what you said. I think you misunderstand what I meant by my talk of MMA fighters. I know you didn't state that a trained professional should hit a women who is attacking them. You said that you'd understand why one would, as it's only fair... didn't you? This is what I was addressing -- the latter, explaining why I would not understand.
By the way HoS, those pictures are creepy. Do you know the back story?
I was referring to myself. I would never fuck around with an MMA fighter and NOT expect to get hit in the face just because they are stronger than me. Same if a woman tries to fuck around with me, just because she is weaker doesn't mean I won't give her a taste of her medicine. One punch and it's over. Don't get me wrong, if someone is incapacitated it ends there.

I agree and thats the way my dad and other people who taught me how to fight taught me. coming out with the intent to knock them down always makes you mentally and somewhat physically hold yourself back even if you don't mean it.
Sides I've seen stories of people who were killed because the fucker got mad, overestimated his own strength and then didn't mean to kill em but their dead.
Fighting isn't about honor or even being the strongest and anybody who tries to bring honor into a true conflict deserves the fate they get.
its about survival and yeah I've done the same things socipath.
I've grabbed sticks and rocks off the ground when somebody had me pinned and beat them with it, I've bitten people when I was younger, and used crowbars and even a trash can lid to defend myself and hit somebody with it like in wrestling.
Despite how I act on SS I try to avoid fights in real life because you truly gain nothing from them but their are too many macho men out there who think because of how I act I'm going to just be some victim(thought that shit ended in high school). Not gonna happen.
Dude I went to sandalwood(one of the worst schools in Jacksonville next to ribault ) and I stayed in dallas with my dad for a good while and there is some crazy shit there too.
Not bullshiting at the fucking crazy shit that happened there...
fights happen there and sometimes security or teachers wouldn't break it up. Had one guy throw another guy into the glass in the cafeteria and nobody interrupted and once the fight was over everybody went to class.
I was just joking, black man having dad PUHLEEZE. I only had two fights in highschool, when I play I play for keeps. Broke a kids kneecap by stomping on it, and shoved threw some glass.

Sweet.
Also yeah might as well not have a dad.
All he did of importance was buy me a super nintendo when I was 5.
My mom and the school system was pretty much the one who raised me while he was being a jew and sleeping around.

If someone punches me in the face I'll reciprocate with something of equal PAIN. I don't care if you are girl, guy, white, black or alien if you hit me I will hit you back. I used to be submissive and that ended up me locked up in my sister's closet. Unfortunately schools have this idea that you shouldn't fight back if you get attacked. That's why I got suspended for 3 days because I fought back against a guy who grabbed my arm and was trying to pull it out of my socket. It started to hurt and so I fought back.
