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.

I'm leaving SS forever
Only for a week or so, during which time I'll be with my family vacationing in an undisclosed location. I am not dead or in prison so don't bother organizing a massive rescue operation, which I know you would all do (right? guys...? Aaww fuck y'all).
I think Buenaventura Durruti is a pretty cool guy. eh kills fascists and doesnt afraid of ruins.
The quickest way to kill a revolution is to wait for it.

Carla Franklin may be a whore. She may be a wonderful, kind, moral woman. Seeing as I don't know her personally, I cannot know for sure. However, I find her actions (suing Google, requesting the personal info of her critics, getting angry over random internet idiocy that she should ignore and be bigger than, trying to get this site in trouble because of a few users' commentary on the situation, etc.) pretty ridiculous and unwarranted. If she didn't want people to to be talking about/judging her, well 1. that's impossible, she's a human, and 2. she shouldn't have been a model or agreed to be on film. AND 3. she DEFINITELY shouldn't have sued Google and made all this fuss over a few random idiots whom she probably won't ever know expressing their opinion. Mmkay? MMKAY.

Re: I'm leaving SS forever
I was a little worried, but I didn't really think that you'd leave.

Just be sure you don't end up in Ravenholm. We don't go there anymore. Or Chernobyl. Well, the second one is prolly safer not to mention awesome to explore, so disregard that.

Be back soon. Dude, we'd so rally up for a huge rescue mission, probably because we have nothing better to do, but whatever.

Re: I'm leaving SS forever
Well, I'm back. The formerly-undisclosed location was Maine, and it was fun as hell. There was the this one restaurant where you could get a BLLT (bacon-lettuce-LOBSTER-tomato) for about ten bucks and it was FUCKING INCREDIBLE. We ended up going there practically every day. And I bought one of these and accidentally cut myself with it literally hours after opening it, so I had to hide a massively-bleeding cut from my parents for an entire week by covering it with a fuckton of band-aids and making up a bullshit story. Also we went kayaking and saw a loon that could hold its breath for five freakin' minutes.
It was a wonderful vacation.

Re: I'm leaving SS forever
Maine is a nice place. I don't care for lobster, but the local salmon was god damned tasty.
