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.

Hello,
Ironically I find myself joining this forum now, on the first day back to unrighteous *school*, well I've had enough anyway, I'm NOT going to be flipping *set on the right path", you tell me the justice of being told you're lazy just because you hate studies and no longer have the motive to revise for them when there are other things that are worth giving you the willpower to work for, But NO, instead I am branded a criminal FOR WANTING TO RULE MYSELF
I'M THROUGH WITH THE ACADEMIC LINE, That's it, you think I'm being naive and ignorant, "Oh well I understand but you should really get your A-levels done, THEN do what you want, he he" oh yeah well SCREW YOU TO YOUR FUCKING KINGDOM COME
I KNOW What I want to do, so just let me pursue in it, you can't undertsand, people who think like the quote above just don't get it, IT'S EASY to say that shit, THEY DON'T GET the flipping suffering I take, not just from studies that I don't even want to do and will have nothing to do with my future, but from the stupid school atmosphere.
"sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me"
FUCK THAT SHIT, IT's mere "words" that gave my aunt Schizophrenia, what pathetic saying is this?
I take things very seriously so you can imagine the kind of crap that stays in my head from what people love to bash into my head from school...
Well, that's my speech done, apart from that, I hope I won't get burned for what I've just stated, then I can feel that joining this forum was like joining the family...

RE: Righteousness
An interesting introduction. Welcome!
And remember to check out the IRC Chat. It used to be as dead as the Martian surface, but we've discovered water and now its a frequently visited watering hole.
I think the link can be found somewhere on top the page on the non-mobile page(labeled Chat)

Another Limey!(can you believe that a preventative measure against scurvy managed to become a nickname for the British? )
So how many British folk do we have here?(including Symbol and The_One)

RE: Righteousness
Hello. Just a friendly note, don't take everything you read regarding name calling to heart, sometimes people just want to call you an ass clown fagget fucktard for no reason.
The less you try to control things, the less you need to.

"free speech under the constitution only guarantees the government won't stop him saying it and does not guarantee his right to say things and have no consequences at all as a result. also i completely doubt that he is motivated solely by "i'm saying it because i can" and is probably motivated by a more shitheady motive like "i think it's funny to annoy people and Rustle Le Jimmies and is just hiding behind the first amendment to try to deflect any consequences or make you realize that being allowed to annoy people is a superior moral right. you can still disdain someone for doing things for dumbarse wankery purposes and you have evne more right to ban and insult them for it" ~Trar's friend about Potato.
Thanks for the diploma… can I have my childhood back?
I’d love to have a battle of wits with you… but I hate to fight the unarmed.

I guess you hate yourself then Gwedin, because you are the original ass clown fagget fucktard.
