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.

Censorship is pointless.

Violence is hardly censorship, the most violent things can be shown on TV anytime of day usually. Yet a nipple or even sexually sugestive moments involving younger people is censored? People are to insane about censorship. Kids will learn about sex at age 11 or even before usually and before you can't really have sex or they don't want to. Less than 10% of the population can't see a nipple, yet its censored for 100% of the population not to mention that half of those kids have nipples/ have seen mommy's niples when they were younger probably its really stupid. I'm not being a perv its just that censorship is getting worse and I don't want it to a point when all shows on TV are rated TV-Y or whatever. Also I heard somewhere that the US is BANNING all anime on TV and all manga, plus maybe on the internet, because there are sexually SUGGESTIVE(keyword) scenes involving people under 18. Thats ridiculous because anything that comes from japan is perverted apparently. >:(

Why censor things that will be found out in a couple of years or they can't even perform correctly before they find out???

Re: Censorship is pointless.

I didn't learn about sex until I was about 13. I just assumed that the act of marriage somehow impregnated the woman.

Re: Censorship is pointless.

I was the oldest, so I learned at around 8. I didn't fully understand until around 10.

Re: Censorship is pointless.

I can't resist, I need to say it too, I learned about sex around age 11(yea I was clueless back then), I had an idea of how it worked from reading science encyclopedia but then one day during lunctime my friend fully spelled it out to me and I was like AHA! THATS HOW and the mystery was solved.
