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.

After tomorrow, I'm not going to have access to the internet, possibly for as long as a month.

Re: Byeeee
Mcdonals has wifi so does starbucks, some hotels as well. you can always get access to the internet. Find programs to shit on stuff like net nanny and put it on a flash drive and use hotel computers like your own personal one. Unless they have it guarded by hotel key of course.

Re: Byeeee
Get the fuck out.
"Troll" is a common defense mechanism. If someone disagrees with you, the immediate reaction is "lol troll." You can't just jump to that conclusion because you want to be victimized, however.
Granted, sometimes you are being trolled.
Sometimes you're just wrong.

Why? :(
I remember I had no internet for a 2 weeks and I nearly died. Just go for a run, workout, and watch movies or read books or something. Good luck man!

Because my mom has to give this laptop back to her old job that she doesn't have anymore tomorrow, and she won't let me use her personal computer, and we're going to be in the process of moving for a couple of weeks and my mom is stupid and paranoid so my computer/internet will probably take forever to be set up because she won't just let me do it myself.
So, yeah, my internet life-line will be gone some time tomorrow morning.

Ah that's sort of when my dad cut the internet to my mums house. o.O Why can't you use hers when she isn't using it?
Oh well, good luck man, we'll see you soon! At least I know you're going to be afk for while, I totally didn't know TDF left >_>

Re: Byeeee
For whatever reason, my mom hasn't turned the laptop back in yet. I guess she's just putting it off, but at some point I'm sure the employer will come demanding it back.
She won't let me use her personal computer because she does banking on there and is afraid that if I go on any forums then people can steal her account number or something. Idk....

Re: Byeeee
See ya. I'd say you got a good response, Baron could have been much more vicious.

See proof!
Freedom is never given; it is always taken. So for the fact that you're not a slave, don't thank those in authority. Thank someone with a "bad attitude."
