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.

So if you're the kid's guardian, can't you decide that possible trauma is greater than the gains?
I've never let my school interfere with my education.

BUt honestly, what r you doing in your life, what point of your life are you at, where you have to taunt young idiotic underdeveloped teens and children to have sex with?
That in most cases, psycologically rape them, and physically?
What the fuck.
To be an anarchist, is to suffer greatly. To be a black woman is to suffer secretly. To be the earth, is to suffer silently.
I wish no harm on anyone, but those whose harmful ways will not stop without the same harm.
It's time we kill this cancerous system, before it kills us and everything left of gaia. Rise from our immaturity and take back our autonomy!
Let whoever have sex with whoever with any age as long as its consented.
Like shippony said, "rape is not wanting to have sex at the time of sex. not waking up the morning after and wishing it never happened"
I'm sure we've all done things we wish we shouldn't have. Some liked things they did and some didn't. But you can't go back and change it, you have to roll with it. That's life. Deal with it. This is even assuming a child didn't want to have sex. What if a child really DOES want to have sex without any cognitive bias shit and you people are oppressing him by not letting him?

I agree with you that consent can't be revoked after sex is over. However, consent must be informed to be legitimate. A child who understands all the baggage that comes with underage sex could consent, but the problem is that adults who have sex with children rarely inform them.

Whoa whoa whoa guys.
There are two extreme sides here and I disagree with both of them.
First of all, I'm in the middle. I'll explain two scenarios, if it's a 23 year old with a 16 year old, maybe that's okay. But when the second that 23 year old fucks a 12 year old, that's when shit gets real.
I can't believe you people think a 10 year old an a 20+ year old can fall in love or even have sex. That shit should not be tolerated. It's okay if the adult is attracted to little boys/girls but if they act on it they will suffer the full wrath of the law. I don't think there should be a specific age for sex to be legal but it should be something like:
14-16 can only engage in same age group.
16-17 within 10 years.
18+ can only go with 16 and above.
You people can think what you want, but I've met TONNES of women, and NONE are mentally capable or ready of having sex under the age of 14. Ages between 14-17 they start thinking more mature and can be ready for sex - depends.
All these figures are approximate, and I guess a 2 year margin sounds reasonable.

Laws forbidding people of certain ages to have sex with other people of different ages are fucking stupid.
If there was consent, it should be okay.
If it was rape, it should be illegal.
I'm kinda torn on this one. I say it should only be if they are old enough to understand what exactly is happening. I sort of agree with Efs, but not completely. I say anyone 14 or older should be able to have a relationship with anyone as long as it's completely consensual and they understand what it means. What if they make a mistake? Well, adults do that all the time

That's JUST like the retarded 18 law we have now.
I just realized that. Honestly, I think anyone should be able too have a relationship at any age, as long as the major physical aspects (Sexual stuff) is saved for a certain age. Which I say should be 14.

Why do you, or anyone else for that matter, have the right to say what age one becomes mature enough to do something?

Good point. I don't have the right to say what age somebody should be able to do different things. People mature at different rates. personally I think it would best be saved until a certain age, but that's my own personal opinion. Honestly, I don't care as long as in the end nobody is hurt by it, and everyone agrees to it.

I know what you mean. However, can an 8 year old really tell if they want sex or not? No. I have an 8 year old cousin, and if a 40 year old man had sex with him I'd kill him. Same goes with my little sister, I wouldn't want that to happen. Most people under the age of 14 don't know the consequences of such actions. If there was no law on this then older men would be fucking little kids and I'd be the one going to jail for murdering them.

That's why you make sure they understand what sex is. I know what you mean, I don't agree with the idea of people under a certain age having sex either. But that's just my own morals, they don't apply to everyone. Some kids are ready at the age of 8, some at 14, some 18 etc. It depends on the person. Just explain to them what sex is, how it works, the consequences. As for you beating the shit out of the old men, I think that's just a symptom of being an older sibling. They should make it so that it's only legal if the kid understands.

LET'S not forget Children of God cult, and what paedophilia can actually do to people,
this is the cult River Pheonix was a part of, a large amount of the kids who grow up in this cult kill themselves later on.

Was that a joke or are you just that stupid?
UH, your just stupid.
Children of God, was a cult based around god justifying the sexual abuse of it's followers.
They raped their children, incestually, sold them as sex objects, David Berg raped everybody including children.
Still has nothing to do with what we're talking about.
Rape and consensual sex are two different things. Raping children and selling them as objects is not the same thing as consensual sex between two people.
Preventing sex between people who WANT it is oppression. And what goes on in their affairs is none of an onlooker's business.

It's not infringing on anyone's liberty. Getting third-parties involved for the "safety" of those who know full well what they're getting into is oppressive. You're just like the people who want to ban weed to "protect the safety of the society and individual." That's bullshit.
