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.

The forums are mostly read-only and are in a maintenance/testing phase, before being permanently archived. Please use this time to get the contact details of people you'd like to keep in touch with. My contact details are here.

Please do not make a mirror copy of the forums in their current state - things will still change, and some people have requested to be able to edit or delete some of their personal info.

Statutory Laws

Sorry for the bump, but Holy Shit I hate these laws so much. I want to freaking cry every time an adult goes to jail for consensually being with someone under 18. Who the fucking hell do the people making these laws think they are to decide when an individual person is mentally and physically ready to do these things?

Also, how the fuck is it completely normal and okay for 2 minors to have sex, but if one of them is an adult it is rape? So, it's only consent if it is between people of the similar age? Confused

Most people I hear arguing for these laws make it sound like we are living in Codename: Kids Next Door and all adults are evil. Well, actually they describe it more like adults can be awesome people who we can befriend and have fun with, but they somehow turn into pure evil manipulative bastards who are "taking advantage" of poor innocent young people the second they fuck. What the hell..

They also ALWAYS say shit like, "But people under 18 are underdeveloped, and not mature enough to have sex."
Those people are negatively generalizing whole age groups here. All I see in that statement is an attempt make, "I think young people are idiots who lack rational thought," sound scientific.

"I’M BEGGING YOU, PRINCE ZUKO! It’s time for you to look inward and begin asking yourself the big question: who are you and what do YOU want?"
" While it is always best to believe in one’s self, a little help from others can be a great blessing"
