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.

-SoulRiser

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.

The Isle of Three

-I notice that we almost loose control and I send the reinforcements asap- God this war is costing more than it should. -I type in a few commands and I am re-connected with the general- Listen reinforcements on the way, go to and take the capital along with any cities along with way.

RE: The Isle of Three

-I sit in wait as I wait for something to happen, I then hear my General's voice on my headset- "Sir, good news is rebellion is gone within our territory, shall we move forward?" -I think for a second- Move forward, however send fivd small teams of no more than five people. They are allowed to shoot and kill any rebels, however only as a last result, take them prisoners, that way they can be tried for war crimes when order is restored. Over and out. -I wait anxiously to figure out how the plan is going-

The Isle of Three

-I am watching eagerly as we have the capital secured, I prepare to get give an announcement. I hear what Mr. Lennon says via a private spy satellite and I facepalm. I then put down the headset and get ready, the Camera's flicker to life, and all televisions go to my announcement-

Citizens of the Isle of Three! The campaign in Capitalistian is achieving much, we have the capital, and more reinforcements are on their way to try and take the west cost and some of the main land. While we have lost thousands of men, we are helping our Allies. After order is restored, we will make sure the rebels are prosecuted for their actions. We will make sure order is restored and then we will leave Capitalistian.

-The televisions return to their normal broadcasting, or off, and the cameras go off as I return once again to the War Room, as I plan the next move.- Come on Mr. Lennon, and Mr. Adams, I say to no one but myself. Take down FASH, and get to it....I'm not sure how much longer we can stay in Capitalistian.

-Having transferred the land back, but keeping a military presence, I see the announcement and I sigh, I have a new desk, transferred from my war-room, and I type something on it brining up a document, I type in a code as I get up and get ready to make an announcement, as the camera's focus on me I smile- Attention Citizens! As you may have heard FASH has SB-129 and SB-130, the bio-weapons that were going to be used against us by Mr. Jim, before he was killed. Now, as of this moment, Our nation is on total lock-down, no going in or out. Only government communication will leave the country as of this moment. I also activate Operation: Survival, an operation that will make sure that FASH is not in our country. FASH members will be deported to the League of Nations prison to be tried for crimes in their home country. -I step down and I return to my room and I enter the code designed to activate it, the code which is ALTRUANA.-
(Hint there is more to The Isle then meets the eye)

RE: The Isle of Three

<<<<A MESSAGE TO THE ISLE OF THREE>>>>

Hiedie ho, Islemaniacs! I hoped you noticed our redecorating. Mainly, the dead police officers and destroyed police departments. Sarin gas and dynamite, respectively.

This is just an amateur piece of art, though. Target FASH again, and I may have to make a masterpiece.

FASH is omnipresent. Remember that next time. Toodles!- Ms. Watson

-As I get this I then type in another password, ANAKATA, and a beam of light shoots up from the ocean and create a sphere around the Isle as I sigh and I stand up as I address the Isle and The League Camera's then focus on me- Attention Citizens and the League, as you know FASH has attacked us, however I have started operation Anakata, a project that, well... has a little surprise also Mrs. Watson, you have failed. (if you know the name, then you get a cookie, however The Isle isn't what it seems. I have ideas on to reveal on the Isle that is not known)

Today, Mr. Lennon, the co-leader for Capitalistian, has been killed by the leader of Sea-Land. The world is on the verge of war, with two nations now at war, I have decided we will NOT go to war, until we are attacked. We will not join Sea-Land, and Anakata shall be kept active until further notice. Also today the Isle is in a state of mourning, and all flags shall be flown at half-staff for the the week. Over and out.

Mr. Onarevyl arrives on The Isle in a ferry sent from the eastern coast of League Island. He looks as though he's lost a bit of sleep by the purple bags under his eyes, but his demeanor suggests no such thing; perhaps he had coffee.

Onarevyl: *sits down* "Alright. I can wait."

By habit, he scans a room for information while idle, so he simply glances at various things within the room.

Onarevyl tries to keep that out of his head. His conditioning, while useful for League security purposes, has left him struggling to avoid infringing upon people's privacy. He does what he can to avoid showing his inner turmoil.

-I look up at Onarevyl and I smile.- The fact you can't tell what I'm typing is annoying you, isn't it? -chuckles and I type in a few more things before I type something else in and it shuts down.- Alright, I'll tell you why you are here, while we wait for Mr. Adams.

Since you are in charge of the Leauge Security, I believe you should create a new organization of spies. I will supply you with the tech. -stands up and walks to a wall,in which I hit a hidden button which brings up a panel, I then type in a password and the wall disappears leaving a door in it's place. I then open the door and motion for Onarevyl to step in the room-

Onarevyl steps in cautiously.

Onarevyl: "With all due respect, sir, I'm not sure I'm comfortable. My last job as the leader of an espionage organization wasn't so much to spy as to deliberately infringe upon the world's privacy rights. I might have a knack for it, but I now find it morally objectionable; what assurance do I have that this organization will only be a force for good?"

-smiles as we are going down-Just to let you know I'm granting you clearance to see this. Keep anything you see here a secret, or else you might just, disappear. This is your only warning Mr. Onarevyl. The reason we do things in secret here is to make sure that the technology does not end up in the wrong hands.
