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: hey
I haven't been around for too long either, but the people here are great (most of the time) and if you don't behave like an absolute asshole you will have no problem finding yourself some fellows! 
What's your favorite ice cream flavor?

Reading a book to your little sister is probably the most fantastic answer possible.

At the moment I really love cherry and cream, even better if chunks of dark chocolate are in it...

Welcome to SS. My favorite ice cream flavor is uranium, covered in gold syrup.

'Fairly stupid tales'. It's really a complex satire, but I don't think she gets it. Which is ok.
Isn't uranium poisonous? Am I gullible

Poisonous? NOH!
It's just has strange side-effects, like causing mutations(such as third arms or a tree growing on my head). It's quite healthy, keeps me nice and warm through that nuclear winter, inside and out.

RE: hey
It's great to read books you barely understand. I loved Ulysses and never had a clue what it's about.

Y'know, thanks for reminding me. I've been meaning to catch up on Joyce but never had the chance to. Is Ulysses really that abstract?
also, i'm a massive nerd

No. Just the no-mans land of borderline insanity.
