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.

What a colossal waste of water. They even say that animal waste commonly gets in the water, I don't see how human urine is any "dirtier".

RE: Portland dumps 38m gallons of water after boy urinates in it

Last I checked, humans are also animals...
Hello, traveler.

This is an ancient account I have not used in a long time. My views have changed much in the intervening months and years.

Nonetheless, I refuse to clean it up. Pretending that I've held my current views since the beginning of time is what we in the industry call a lie. Asking people to do so contributes to moralistic self-loathing. "See, those people have nothing damning! I do! I'm truly vile!"

Because you can never be a good person with a single blemish on the moral record, I thought that simply entertaining some thoughts made me irredeemable. Though I don't care for his writing style, William Faulkner presents a good counterexample. He went from being a typical Southern racist to supporting the civil rights movement. These days we'd yell at him for that, probably.

People are allowed to change their views.

Nevertheless, this period of my life has informed some of how I am today. In good ways and bad ways. To purge it would be to do a disservice to history. Perhaps it will not make anyone sympathetic, but it may help someone understand.

If, after reading all this, you still decide to use the post above as evidence that I am evil today, ask yourself if you have never disagreed with the moral code you now follow. In all likelihood you did, at some point. If some questions are verboten, and the answer is "how dare you ask that," don't expect your ideological opponents to ever change their minds.

don't they let people swim in lakes and rivers and stuff like that with fish & animal waste , along with human urine and harmful chemicals?

im sure they swallow the water sometimes or get it up their nose.

i dont see how some person pissing in the water is much worse then all of that?

good, I dont want to drink piss water

but im sure people piss in it all the time if theyve already caught 2 people doing it.

No, this is Patrick.

I wonder how much urine there is in the water at a typical waterpark. Hint: A LOT!

Portland dumps 38m gallons of water after boy urinates in it

The 38 million-gallon open reservoir that animals undoubtedly swim and defecate/urinate in is flushed after an 18-year-old pisses in it. I'm not going to defend his action, but this article and this one as well shed an interesting light on it:

Quote:"Frankly, it's one of those calls where you know you're likely to be criticized no matter what. The professionals who report to me all said, 'Dump the water. Don't take any chances.' It's the conservative but correct call."

Conservative but 'correct' call, huh. I'm of the mind that public officials will almost always take criticism no matter what decision they make. I think a revision of how the city stores their drinking water would be more appropriate, although in fairness I can't blame people for not wanting to drink piss water. Even if it would likely be very heavily diluted at best.

Quote:“When you see the video, he’s leaning right up because he has to get his little wee wee right up to the iron bars. There’s really no doubt what he’s doing,” Shaff said.

I can't blame him for his animosity, really. It's unfortunate.
