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.

Ban the paparazzi
I think paparazzi should be banned. Freedom my ass, paparazzi is harassment and stalking. I don't think I would be allowed to randomly start stalking that person who lives across the street and taking photos of them everywhere, it shouldn't be any different when it comes to celebrities. Just because they're popular doesn't mean they have any less rights than we do.
It would also help to end all that celebrity gossip-nonsense-bullshit

Not to jump on the band wagon but amen.
If I had the paps following me I would get out my gun, play target practice with them and then say I felt my life was endangered.

Re: Ban the paparazzi
Bah, it's most likely none of us would want what the paparazzi is out there for.
God damn people and their desire to know what celebrities are doing.
Anything that ever happened or will... one condition, it has to be amazing.

Re: Ban the paparazzi
50 bucks if you hit the guy with the expensive camera. With a car.

Re: Ban the paparazzi
Then, I would make a single titled OP PAPARAZZI IS A FAGGOT
Including in this song all of the publisher's dirty laundry. Ending the song with "Who are they going to believe, You are me? Faggot."
Best troll ever.

Re: Ban the paparazzi
Doesn't end on celebrities. I hate cameras too, to the extent of trying to vandalise any that are forcibly pointed at me, for one or another reason. Oh, and doesn't matter how famous you are - if people know ABOUT you and not you, bullshit ensues.
Problem, officer?

Agreed, taking pictures or videos of people should be illegal without the persons consent. Security cameras in businesses could be legal if they state that entering the store signifies your consent on the door or something.

Re: Ban the paparazzi
Those are some really good points. I've always hated the paparazzi and their obsessions with the private lives of celebreties, but they shouldn't be allowed to stalk and harass.
The paparazzi are the reason Americans (since I'm American and don't really know about the paparazzi in other countries, I'll cover US gossip) are exposed to more inane gossip than actual news, and the reason we end up caring more about the dumbasses on Jersey Shore than how much we're being fucked in the ass by the government.

Re: Ban the paparazzi
Break their expensive cameras! 
I was reading an article a while ago on how this celebrity met (for the first time) a polite paparazzi who actually came up to her and asked politely for a photo and interview. She rejected him and was like "Thank you for your time" and walked off.
Just thought I'd tell you guys...
But yeah most (99%) of them are just stupid stalkers.

Re: Ban the paparazzi
Polite paparazzi?
She probably got fired.
