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.

And it is nice to know that someone cares a tiny bit about what happens to you, especially to someone like me with no family but a guinea pig who will go near them who is alone in the world. I also felt the slightest bit cared about when I had been passed out or whatever you call it on some strangers floor for around a week, AAA was wondering if I was dead because of the fires. Close, but not yet. It was cool to know that if I had died, it would be acknowledged atleast by one person. It just means a lot to be acknowledged by anybody, even if it is a stranger on the internet. Better in my case, in real life I am scared of most people. I am known as "that kid under the bed" because I have hidden from many people under shelter beds and wrapped myself around the bottom structure of the bed and clung for dear life.
At least you still have your guinea pig. My kitty died last year. Its nice to have someone to talk to.

RE: I fuckin hate detroit!

Oh man, I feel so bad for you about the kitty. Oh man, no clue what I would do if my piggy died, probally beg a gang to hang me and cut my throat. I am lucky I have her, she is great and gives me a reason to live. And I agree fully, talking to someone really helps. If you have any problems you nees to talk about, let me know. But if you are bitching about parents not buying a $900 computer for you like volueable, I wilk be brutally unsympathetic. But I will he sympathetic about stuff like cats dieing, too much homework, suicideal thoughts, ect.

RE: I fuckin hate detroit!

^ Its good that your dad could afford a family computer, he must work somewhere better tgen a factory (correct me if i am wrong). That sounds like something my dad wouldvedome if he had the $. The pig survived because a few days before the fire, a man came into highlanf park who was saying that he would take small pets for free to his apartment in a far away better part of detroit. In other words, he knew that almost half of the still standing buildings would burn to the ground (he was right) and he knew that many people evacuating might leave pets behind. He said if we never return for the pets (in other words burn to death) he would care for them forever. And his building didnt burn, so I got my piggy back!

Our old house got foreclosed so we live with my grandma.

RE: I fuckin hate detroit!

^ Starting a buisiness sounds cool. Luckilly, when dad was alive he made enough money to buy my house and have no morgage at all. But thats because apartments are cheap in highland park. But sadly the building burned down, so no apartment anymore. But the apartment cane with a guarantee that it would be replaced of it was burned down (most apartments in highland park come with that, burning is common, I have had to move 4 times because the buildings I lived in all got burned down.

Some things are so unbelievable a person can't make it up. Reality is crazier than fiction, we're just more used to reality.

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#! Noo

^I am not posting pics because someone I knew, not very well but she seemed kinda nice was kidnapped and raped then murderd. I hear its because she posted a picture of her alartment. I know, I am a girl, its an expression and saying "dont kick a girl when shes already down" sounds dumb to me. I just dont give a fuck if some troll who calls himself potatoe on the internet believes me or not. I am not emotionally blackmailing you.
