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.

Hey There!
Welcome to SS!
I'm DoA, dedicated mind healer and wannabe psychologist.
I used to play quite a bit of CoD on the Xbox 360, but I've switched to Battlefield on the PS3. I'm weird like that.

Too bad. You'll probably starve here. Much of us either dont have a soul(because we chose to take a step forward in evolution and become one with the machine) or because we used it as collateral in a deal with the devil.

Hey There!
Pfft. Obviously a soul is just pseudometapsyhcic energy existing in-between our material dimension, and another dimension of pure energy.
Basically the magnetic force that channels through the base of our chess piece(a metallic base capable of magnetic attraction), holding us on the board.

Hey There!
Nah. It's just a typical sci-fi writer tactic. Or fantasy.
Sounds good, and I could probably persuade some people to actually think what I'm saying makes a ton of sense. Of course there is absolutely no evidence, except for whatever I say(which doesn't count). Could say that's how religion is made, if you wish.

Hey There!
Graphic design? I like you already I possibly think so. CG or traditional pencil 'n' paper graphics? If the former, 2D or 3D? Or both?
I am a generic anti-social raging thread-ripping angsty cunt-of-a-person to be around. Good thing the site's acting up, too. Otherwise you'd see more of my generic anti-social raging thread-ripping angsty cunt-of-a-person posts more often.
On an unrelated note: I just got my hair cut short and it looks disgusting. Such a beautiful face wasn't meant to have a small patch of crap on top. It was meant to be surrounded in a smooth, silky mane!
