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.

I'm back! Again! After much waiting!

Wow. I miss you guys. I doubt anybody remembers me, as I tend to disappear for long amounts of time, and can only wonder as to the continued existence of my comrades and compatriots. I notice, with more than a twinge of regret, that my dear friend DreamerAwakes has not made a return appearance, and she will be greatly missed. However, I am back, for as long as my attention span and remembrance of the site allow.

Man, it's nice to be back.
(And there was much rejoicing.)

Ohai. If you remember me, it's prolly from all the stupid posts I made as a new member (hey, SS was the first forum, site even, I was a member of). Anyway, welcome back. I take it you're still the other white guy?

You really couldn't have. It's just that important. Laugh

Re: I'm back! Again! After much waiting!

Who else feels wars could be better fought in a virtual representation of the battlefield? Done right, it'd be the same as actual combat, being that it simulates the actualities of the war. Then, the loser could say nothing but that they would lose, and would not attack.
