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.

You can join if you are a:
progressive, communist, mutualist, socialist, left anarchist or any ideology to the political left.
We then need to make a website and form pressure groups in groups we belong to in order to make them take an anti school position.

I disagree with this idea, and not just because I'm a "rightist". If it were just because I'm a rightist, I'd create something similar.
No, I think we should have united ideals, not separate. If we're going to wipe the government-mandated public school system off the face of the planet, we can't just divide ourselves into small groups. Why do you think so many school activities work that way?

I don't even know WTF any of those political labels mean, and I don't care to know either. Like DoA said, why make seperate groups? Rather get people to work together even if they disagree on some political stuff or whatever.

Communism and anarchy fail in the long run for anything bigger then a small community.
The purpose of life is a life with a purpose
So I’d rather die for a cause than live a life that is worthless

Communism worked for Russia, but then America decided to go in and mess shit up for them...even though by our standards it's better now, imagine how the rulers of Russia felt when they were in power of a Communist country and then tell me it wasn't good...I'm still not a Commy though lol.
I also do not know what any of the labels mean though and if I knew then it'd mean that I was involved in politics, and I don't want to be in politics because there are too many dirty dealings and secrets that if I knew about I'd end up being killed.

"free speech under the constitution only guarantees the government won't stop him saying it and does not guarantee his right to say things and have no consequences at all as a result. also i completely doubt that he is motivated solely by "i'm saying it because i can" and is probably motivated by a more shitheady motive like "i think it's funny to annoy people and Rustle Le Jimmies™ and is just hiding behind the first amendment to try to deflect any consequences or make you realize that being allowed to annoy people is a superior moral right. you can still disdain someone for doing things for dumbarse wankery purposes and you have evne more right to ban and insult them for it" ~Trar's friend about Potato.
Thanks for the diploma… can I have my childhood back?
I’d love to have a battle of wits with you… but I hate to fight the unarmed.

Its more a pressure group within leftism to bring them around to anti school positions.
