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.

In all your time Stephen, you've done quite a job at insulting all of us. You've done a great job at showing your immaturity, with those insults and the McDonald's jokes. Some of us have tried to reason with you, but your behavior is, shall I say, obnoxious. Go fuck yourself.

you have permission to use my posts/threads
Thanks! Also due to the fact that I have all the info on my project, I will no longer be posting on this forum. Yes, I know it's sad, but I'm sure I'll catch up with you all while your taking my order at Burger King. Bye!
Good. I'm happy you'll never post on this forum again because all you do is mock and insult us for holding the beliefs we do without even trying to understand us. Also, what's wrong with working at Burger King? If I ever end up working at Burger King and I have to take your order, I will put arsenic on your food.
Bye fuckface.

I have to choose a class from the social latter and research them. (Examples-Jocks,Nerds etc). So I decided to research you guys, the loners/weirdos. (I suppose you would call yourself's that). So I'm just about done, however, I need you guys to post here saying that it's ok to use your posts in my power point. I just need a few of you. Your usernames may or may not be shown, depending on the picture. Thanks! And please hurry, this is due friday!
Thats a load of bullshit.
I pulled the same stunt in Yahoo comments. Nice try...
Now I shall lol at at a failed subtle attempt at retreating with a sense of superiority. Lol.
And for my third post, I shall give permission on the following conditions:
a)username recognition
b)review of presentation before its presented
c)signing of a contract outlining all the conditions and failure to uphold the terms will lead to a lawsuit.d)$250 to use my material. Another $50 for every person who sees the presentation. And $10 for every grade(so a 50 is 50*$50)
Once this is agreed to, and both a contract and contract fee of $25 is recieved, I shall grant permission.
I hope your teacher comes here and sees this thread. Banning you won't solve anything, and it will not make you look like any more or less of an ass. Still, in the odd chance that someone finds the site because of you, maybe you are unintentionally doing the world some good.

and it only shows that you don't give a shit about what people are actually saying.
it's Stephen we're talking about, what did you expect?
Also, why the numbers? What happened to the first 925 Stephens?

DARTH VADER FOR ALL OF GOVERNMENT!
I think I liked Revan though, before he de-sithed.
I think Ill start a Sith party. Party Platform?:UNLIMITED POOOOWWWAAAA!
Darth Vader was only cool before he got his armour (yeah, I actually liked the prequels!). As for my favourite Sith... Darth Nihilus. He'll drain the life force of every opposing party! Revan was pretty cool though. Sith or no.
In summary I'm joining the Sith party.

Nihilus is too epic to be president of one country.
Nihilus is the supreme ruler. I think Ill become Nihilus.
Sucks they didnt really develop him much in the game. Sion was usually the one you interacted with more. His voice was pretty cool though.
Malak was not bad but he screwed up too much. Revan is always cool. Nihilus is awesome. Sion is a perfect enforcer. Sidious was one clever bastard. Tyranus could really use a sword. Traya was a crazy manipulative bitch. Vader is pretty much the perfect general(though choking various officers to death tends to be a slight problem, then again death is the price of failure).
I prefer Vader in the armor. In the prequel he was too brash and impulsive. However, as Vader he was more evil but also calm in a way.
I wonder if Id get sued for trying to make a Sith party.(Course if we obtain leadership, Id take over Disney and Lucas ltd and any company with ownership of the rights. After all, the Sith party deserves those rights)
I agree. There should've been more character development towards Nihilus in the game. (There's quite a bit of detail on him on Wookieepedia that I don't think they included in the game though I'm not 100% sure http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darth_Nihilus). That being said he was WAY too easy to kill in the game (even though I played on Easy at the time). I liked Malak although he didn't really look like much of a Sith lord. Traya reminds me of Sidious a lot. She's pretty cool.
If only we could come up with 10 billion or so dollars to buy the Star Wars franchise from Mickey Mouse...
Bastards posting before I finish my post... Bleh.

There is a lot of information about Nihilus, but almost no interaction with him. I mean, you see him in the center of the 3 and he even appears to be in charge, yet Nihilus is like some minor side-quest in the game.
Then again they were rushed to put the game out, so I guess a lot of was left unfinished...
