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.

/ITT: tell if you would want kids or not and explain why.
I wouldn't want kids because, seriously, whats the point of having kids? to continue the species? There are too many people in the world already. If the pop. dies down, let it be someone else's problem, I won't stay alive forever, so I'm just here to use up the resources until I'm satisfied and if someone says I'm using too much, too fucking bad. Screw you, I'm not here forever, and if that affects someone else, too bad, not like I care.

I'm actually unsure. I don't know if I have tokophobia, but I wouldn't consider myself a natural mother. I'd be a pretty shitty parent. I can't even babysit without getting tired. Plus, I want to live my life instead of spawning out a brat that might get messed up. If I decide I want a kid, I'll start by adopting an older one. Older children get screwed in the adoption process, so I'd be making someone life's a little better.
I chose no because I couldn't be a good mom. Though I know one day I'll make a great aunt as my brother has already told me so. (The difference between being a mom and a great aunt is that aunts don't have to deal with the fucked up things they tell those kids.)
At least as far as having a biological child goes, absolutely not. I'm short, weak, starting to get arthritis (at 19!), unusually prone to depression, and probably prone to alcoholism. Basically, it seems like a pretty shitty thing to do to make a person who could be a lot like me.
I don't think I'd adopt either, though, because I don't think I'd make a good mother. I'm impatient, absent-minded to the point where I wouldn't even want to have a pet, sort of emotionally distant from most people which might or might not include my kids. And I can really just manage acting like an adult without having anyone else to worry about. I mean, it wouldn't really be fair to my potential kids to not be able to do anything because their mother's afraid of talking to people.
But that's not for sure. If I ever have a wife who wants to have children and would make a good mother, I might consider adopting kids. I don't think I'd fuck kids up just by being there, it's just that I can't do all the things that parents should be able to do.
"Do we treat straight public sex differently than we do gay public sex? Of course. Straight people are so proud of their public sex that they named a cocktail after it."
Probably not. I've been thinking about it a lot lately, and I've decided it's actually pretty selfish. I'm not gonna have a kid just because I want one; children aren't puppies or toys. I don't want to force anyone to be here just to make me happy or to produce some shallow feeling of fulfillment, especially when they can potentially be raped or murdered or anything else like that. Plus, I don't have anything to offer them. I wouldn't be a good mother.

Very nice kitty.
I also continue the trend and don't want kids for most of the reasons already stated.
If I really wanted some kid I would try adopting first just so I could dodge the cage known as marriage.
I wouldn't mind having a kid or two in the future. No more than two, though; fuck knows one alone is expensive and mind-wrackingly stressful... One thing I've actually put thought into before, out of sheer boredom, is the possibility of having one kid born of my blood and that of my lover's, and then five or six years down the line, adopt another kid of the opposite sex, no older than four.

I want at least one biological child, the rest I'll apodpt. I would love to adopt an American child but laws regarding parental rights in this country make it nearly impossible. So chances are I'm going to do like everyone else and adopt internationally.
Ah. Just saw this topic after I already replied to this one.
But I do want to add something to this topic... this may very well be a reason why there are so many idiots in the world: because the smart people don't breed. Not saying you should go and multiply just for that reason, just... it's interesting.
Forgetfulness and clumsiness and general dislike for humanity are nothing compared to forcing a kid to do shit against his will and hitting him and yelling at him for no damn reason. Any sensible kid will forgive a parent for the first 2 things, but not so much the others. I think most people here would actually make good parents, even if they don't think so themselves. In fact, that's probably why they'd make good parents - because they have the decency to even question themselves in the first place.
Also, I just looked up 'tokophobia' - I've definitely got that.

I feel like being a mother is something that I want to do someday, when I'm ready and financially stable, have my own life's shit worked out, and can teach my child how to learn and think for themselves in this crazy world that's only getting crazier.
Why further the human race? Why not?
It just feels like a part of me that needs to be fulfilled someday. Motherhood seems very sacred to me. I don't know why. It's hard to explain, it just feels like something I'm meant to do, but not like its being imposed on me.
I may change my mind someday, but I'm not worrying about it now. I've got all the time in the world. It's just something I plan to do sometime in my life.

Carla Franklin may be a whore. She may be a wonderful, kind, moral woman. Seeing as I don't know her personally, I cannot know for sure. However, I find her actions (suing Google, requesting the personal info of her critics, getting angry over random internet idiocy that she should ignore and be bigger than, trying to get this site in trouble because of a few users' commentary on the situation, etc.) pretty ridiculous and unwarranted. If she didn't want people to to be talking about/judging her, well 1. that's impossible, she's a human, and 2. she shouldn't have been a model or agreed to be on film. AND 3. she DEFINITELY shouldn't have sued Google and made all this fuss over a few random idiots whom she probably won't ever know expressing their opinion. Mmkay? MMKAY.
I dunno if I'll have one. If I do, it'll be after I've found a home, finished college, and whatnot. I like the idea, but I think having a kid would be too stressful and annoying for me. Hell, I can hardly spend half an hour with the kids my sister used to babysit. If I do have kids, I won't have any more than two. God knows the population is high enough already.

I WANT to have kids, but im not GOING to have them because they would hate me. I can't handle my own son hating me. Every time I tell my dad I hate him, he replies with "if you did not hate me, i would not be doing my job right"
like i really hate my dad and dont love him. if he was hit by a train, i dont know how I would feel. probably nothing. if my own kid ever felt that way about me... :waah:
thats assuming I can even find someone to have kids with. I hate women.
Nah, you'd make a badass dad. As long as you're not a douche, they really shouldn't hate you. Hell, it's unbelievable how much it took for me to hate my dad. He could easily be admitted into the asylum right now, but only recently have I really hated him.

I don't want kids. There are a variety of reasons why, but the main one is that I have simply never wanted them. Some people have the parenting instinct, and some don't - I just don't.
The only reason I can think of for wanting a kid is to pass on my DNA, which is so selfish and stupid and proof of why I shouldn't have a kid anyway.
