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.

For anyone who remembers me going on an archive binge: Thank you all. I know I ended it being a drama queen, I don't really agree with the ideology anymore, and I'm really not the same person I was (I went through a neopagan phase!) but still this site was the first online community I was in. I graduated from school and turned 18. Time flies. KFC Nyan Cat, June 20, 2019.
Wow so evil, she might aspire to be hitler tho. Eliminating disabled people and others that 'cost more and are less productive' is what nazists did before.
Look man, I agree with what you're saying, but when you're usin "retarded" as an insult, you're just insulting one form of bigotry (weightism) with another form of bigotry (ableism). It's like the people who insult those who play CoD by calling them "12-year-olds" (ageism). If you truly want to strive to be a shining example of equality, ya can't be doin that.

TRIGGER WARNING: THIS TRIGGER WARNING CONTAINS TRIGGER WARNINGS!
Dear Tumblrites:Despite your wrongly self-diagnosedPTSD, no line ofscientific evidencesuggests people can be triggered over theinternet. Triggering works through thesenses(i.e. smell, taste, touch, vision, hearing.) but it goes throughreal time; if you're not experiencing it in real life as it'sACTUALLY HAPPENINGin yourACTUALlife, youCANNOTbe triggered. The only exception to this is if you have aseizure, but then again, that's triggered byepilepsy(i.e. rapidly-changing flashing lights)NOT PTSD. Remembering a bad incident is NOT the same thing as having aflashback. When you remember, youthink; when youflashback,youfeel.

The thoughts had become corporeal on their own account, were ghosts, e. g. God, Emperor, Pope, Fatherland, etc. If I destroy their corporeity, then I take them back into mine, and say: "I alone am corporeal." And now I take the world as what it is to me, as mine, as my property; I refer all to myself."The Ego and Its Own, pg. 15

Yes of course, You know finding the common fallacies in arguements is somewhat helping me, with how to to criticize things without being an bigoted, arrogant, 1400's catholic style asshole. And have a meaningful exchange of ideas to move on and progress.

I can't stand obese people tbh constantly wheezing and they have a fuckton of health problems that are preventable but they don't fix. I don't care if someone's fat but don't complain to me about what happens to your insides because you could have fixed it forever ago. Obesity is a serious cause of death. My dads friend had a doctor tell him he needed to lose weight or he would die from the complications because of his weight

I hate people who sneeze and sneeze and never blow their damn nose to clear whatever obstruction is causing sneezing.
According to BMI I should be obese, yet I see obese people my age and my weight, and it's like "wut I'm nothing like that except for this cushiony belly". I can do sports to the max, I can run and climb stairs, maintain some agility etc.
Though I'd probably be better if I lost the weight, which I hope to do soon(I often lose a bit, get all hedonist gorging, gain, control eating, then repeat cycle)
When I was a wee boy about the age of 8, I was quite a pudgy child and a lot of acquaintances made fun of me for years, because of this. Although this concluded in being shamed into keeping fit, alongside irrational hate and distrust for others, I believe I'm better off for it, however, your mileage may vary.
I would iterate more, but unfortunately lethargy and lack of demand are key reasons I won't do so at the moment.
