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.

Could we create a youth media?

Could we create a network of media outlets that report on youth rights, anti-school, and other news? I've been running my sites blog, and it's getting a lot of views including top-page Google results. If NYRA, SS, and other sites expand upon our blogs, and news releases we could potentially create a sort of mini media.

I'm pretty sure SS, NYRA and LP all allow people to submit blog posts to be reviewed and posted, so people could actively submit news and articles. A media type deal would be useful for multiple reasons. For one, it would definitely increase our grass-roots base, for another thing, we could all collaborate and get important news out fast among a wide base of supporters.

Blog I post to now:

True, true, but with today's attention spans you're screwed if you aren't in the top three search results.

SS has a Youtube channel, but it's been dead for quite some time now.

Yes I personally believe awareness is one of the steps to stop forced schooling. Therefore, we should make such information accessible.

Nowadays, bost of youth culture today is polluted with Justin Bieber and CoD. :|

It would be cool if there's a shared blog.
