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.

RE: Surviving this year
The book I'm reading was found on TPB and basically anyone that is in a position of real-world power hates the website because according to American laws, it is a website full of Copyright Infringement. The book is called "We are anonymous inside the hacker world of lulzsec" and I only downloaded it because it sounded slightly interesting and when i finally got bored enough to start reading it i couldn't stop...what i hate though is that it has 27 chapters (same as this other book i was supposed to read for english class...more in next paragraph) so it could take me a while, especially since it's on my laptop.
In my english class i got one of those fucking dumb teachers that makes us read a book every 3 weeks(i think, either that or just every 9 weeks) and we have to pass an AR test on it and if we fail then we don't get credits for this (you really shouldn't fail the test if you've read the book, but if you do then yea) but i told her that i was reading this book and asked if i could just make a summary of it and she said yes...it's the same length as the book i found in the library "diary of the madman underground" (don't exactly remember and can't check til monday, but i believe it's basically about a fight club in a school)
now back to the topic at hand...survival

Why don't we pair up with anonymous? They're a protest group. Their skills could be handy to us...

RE: Surviving this year
A SS uniform. We don't need to tell everyone what it is, so it kinda has to be discreet. Maybe just a badge or something. Something we could recognise each other by, but no one else could. Maybe a devil derp face badge. That would be cool.

A universal symbol, like early Christians would draw in the sand?
An interesting idea. We'd need a distinct logo that doesn't look pagan, though.

Yup, a double s is too obvious. I'm going to suggest devil deep face for this. No particular reason, it would just look cool.

Thats a good idea. Just to clarify, is flipping off giving the finger? But if I did that in my town, everybody even if they are not a member they would do it back.

RE: Surviving this year
We all live too far. That just proves that no matter where you live, school is fucked up. But the idiot goes on trial the 15th, and I am scared shitless. Unless she got a brain transplant or the judge is a douchebag, she isnt going anywhere. If she gets out, my life will be FUCKIN HELL!!! But I guess if she gets out, I should at least enjoy my life untill she comes back into it. She better not get out. I will be doomed. If she gets out, that day I will hire a bodyguare to beat the shit outta her. But I guess I shouldnt think about it, she beat up a cop, a prison guard and her inmates so how would they expect me, her daughter to not be beat up. But on a happier note, the 14th is my birthday! I will be one year closer to getting out of this hellhole. I will be 14.

RE: Surviving this year
... well now those posts that were made when we found out you were a girl seem even creepier...oh well
turning 14 on the 14th, huh? Better make it a good party bc you only get to have the same 2 numbers as your birthday once (captain obvious here for your daily dose of obviousness...but still)
I don't think that she is going to get out anytime soon, maybe in a minimum of 25 years though

RE: Surviving this year
I really hope it takes her 25 years. She fucked up my life. I think it is cool that I will be 14 on the 14th. But I never have a party because I have no friends! But to celebrate, I orderd 2 pounds of my favorite candy (it isnt sold here) and I will eat it all in 1 day! Yippee! And I am going to splurge on chick fil a at the airport food court! I am going to take a bus because the walk would take hours!

My birthday is this Wednesday. Can I have any leftover pizza though? It's too bad the Wii U is going to come out a month, a week, AND a day AFTER my birthday.
Congratulations humanity,because you refuse to let go of the old and evolve you actually make people believe in 2012. Not only that, but you're the only species on Earth that were able to make it possible, now we get to sit until we die because we couldn't get to Mars. We have failed as a society and don't deserve our gifts to survive for this long. Maybe this is why dinosaurs are extinct, we sure aren't any better than the dirt you say we're created from. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pla...DvwSOFto#!
