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.

Spiders are your friend

There was a spider that set up a web above our front door(a bit behind, so it wasn't affected by the opening of the door in any way). My mother and sister wanted to kill it. I told them that they've lost their damn minds because that spider is doing us a favor by eating all the pesky insects that'd try to sneak into our house when we open the door.

As long as your home isn't being over-run by spiders(or becoming the home of a giant spider), there is absolutely no logical reason to go off running in terror. Then again humans supposedly have an irrational fear of spiders due to instinct or something.

I was once afraid and disgusted by all manner of insect. Now I give some of them leeway, though I haven't gotten over the disgusting part. Spiders and ants are fine. Those mosquito like bugs that eat mosquito are fine. I steer clear of bees but don't bother them either. AH KILL DA FLY N MOSQUITO. Well, flies are just annoying as hell but a mosquito is to be killed.on.sight. No exceptions. Those suckers gotta die. DIE. DDIIIEEE!!! *Swat* *KABOOM*

I hate bees. I HATE DA FUKAS. Scary bitches, they are. I don't like spiders but I try not to kill them on-sight like I'm tempted to. Flies are annoying but I just push them out mah window. Mosquitoes. We don't actually get many (if we get any at all).

We get lots of moths though. Disgusting little critters but they rarely make it inside so, meh. And when they do make it inside I prefer not to kill them as they smudge their dumb brown dust coating or whatever everywhere when they die.

If I see a bee, and it somehow made it's way in-door(I noticed in Turkey that Windows DO NOT have those nets. My aunt opened the windows to let the cool air in, and in under 10 minutes, one room was packed with flies AND a bee or two. I just ran for cover. Fuck Dat Shit).

Once a bee landed on my head and walked around. As soon as it took off, I ran to the nearest building and pretty much locked myself in. Another time I had a cup of tea(back when I used to drink it with sugar), and a bee picked up the scent and started coming at me. I just tossed the cup and ran in the opposite direction.

And a bee tried to make it's way into my friends mouth(the same place it had landed on my head). He just spit/blew before it got it and everyone around him ran like hell.

So basically when I see a bee, AH FUKIN RUN!

Mosquitoes I kill with a vengeance. For some annoying as hell reason, they like to drink my blood. I'm glad I have a good amount of body hair because when I didn't(was younger) I got bit a hell of a lot more. Now there isn't much of my body they can get to(though the places they can get to are just very annoying places to get bitten)

I was once running through my backyard out to our trampoline and stood on a bee (one of the big fat ones that bite and not sting). Ever since then I can't help but look at the grass whenever I walk through it.

Ever had a flea infestation in your house? We have. Twice. They're frickin' hard to get rid of (even those bombs that claim they "REMOVE DA FUCKAS FROM EVARYWHAR" didn't work).

Of course we've moved to a town/neighbourhood that has a lot less stray cats, now.
