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.

As a matter of fact yes, where I live is rather boring but we have nice scenery about 45 minutes out of town.

Depends on it's use, I believe every country has a right to defend itself as well as its strategic interests in regard to its security. If your asking about Iraq or Afghanistan that's somewhat of a different story. The mid east invasion destroyed a power structure which maintained some semblance of peace. I'm not saying Saddam was a good man but he kept many groups from slaughtering others. Quality of life including literacy, healthcare and necessities of society were kept more stable under his rule. Again let me reiterate I do not support his actions onto the Kurds.
The US as well as other NATO signatories need to take a step back before meddling in the affairs of other nations. This excessive agitation is only putting us a further risk of terrorism. And as far as I'm concerned Israel might as well be the 51st considering how much support it gets. The last thing anyone wants to see is another war and any needless deaths of anyone regardless of nationality. Isolationism in my books is an effective doctrine.

Ask me Some Questions
What about a more local opinion on military, such as military service?
(Such is the topic cause I've got ROTC planned so it comes to me mind)
Favorite car?

I support those who choose to enlist on their own accord, I oppose mandatory enlistment or drafting. My Grandfather was in the RCAF (airforce here) and was sent many foreign countries; Egypt,Syria,Germany and Israel during his career. I actually am going to try and get a hold of him to get some of the photos he took during off duty times and scan them onto here if a political discussion comes up. Damascus looked very different in the late 60s and 70s before it was war torn.
Favorite car would be a lambo murcielago if I could afford it. At the moment I have a Mazda RX8.

Ask me Some Questions
I wanted to get a RX8, but it might be a bit small of a car for someone of my stature(not in height but in body largeness. my body type is something like that of someone supposed to carry big muscles...though I wouldn't say my muscles are exactly big or anywhere near optimal effectivity  )
How does it run? The engine is pretty unique.

Had it for about 4 years now and it runs smooth no major problems so far quite easy to speed up affording to park it is another issue HAHA.

Bling wasn't a word till 1999. Your point?

"Bling" came into existence because rappers needed some fucking slang to describe how wealthy they were, (to an extent, it still isn't an official word), same as how they adopted "swag"
..but why the fuck would we need a word that serves the exact same purpose as "effectiveness" and is ridiculously similar in its structure?

Yeah, there's no way I'm going to take that useless piece of advice.
