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.

The School Survival Movement: Abolish Compulsory Schooling

(10-26-2014 03:20 PM)brainiac3397 Wrote:  SS is the social club. Whatever other membership members of the community decide to pursue is totally up to them. However, I personally don't think that a "shared" membership implies ownership of one group by a "primary"(aka ACS being a branch of SS, whereas being an affiliate would be more appropriate)
Would you prefer it that I address ACS being an affiliate instead as a branch? The terms are loosely similar, but you make a very good point.

At the end of the day everyone here just needs to understand that I am not speaking for everyone here on SS, and for most posts that I'm splitting (and that I even go into a bit of detail as to why) it's because I don't want this thread to devolve into another shitstorm and I'm sick of the passive-aggressive attacks aimed at myself and/or at others.

If there's going to be some shitstorms, I'd rather it be in the forum of the split thread's version and that can be discussed there. Besides, after I post that I split it and why I don't even bother going there since that forum is a Random forum v2.

Now I can see why most other forums adopt a rule that the discussion of forum moderation is against the rules... The Split Discussion forum is basically an epitome of a forum for users to be able to discuss the actions of forum assistants and mods.
