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.

ATTN: Everyone who can't get along
Either ignore each other, or bitch at each other all you want in the Frag Arena. NOWHERE ELSE.
In the main forums, I don't want to see insults, bitching, or name-calling. None of it. Put it where it belongs, or don't post it at all.
Also, read this:

RE: ATTN: Everyone who can't get along
I am going to work on not being pissed ad voluble. I am goint to stop replying to him. I was trying to see if I could try and change him, but I have now realised it is his right to do whateverhe wants. I will just think whatever I want about him, and just not share. I hope he will stop posting bitchy things too, I am SUPER PISSED!

Yeah, trying to change people doesn't really work. The only person you can change is yourself.

But I even linked to it and stuff. And there's instructions in the Readme topic... and if they didn't read that, that's their own fault.

Link http://forums.school-survival.net/forumd...php?fid=22 also DoA I'm gonna hunt down you when you make that 1,000th post.
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#!

Lol, that's just a program that responds to keystrokes and prints the instructions for writing an example program. Nothing "hacker" about it.

"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.

You can't change someone, but you can show them their error and hopefully convince them to take their stupidity, immaturity, and shit posting somewhere else.
