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.

I'm Coming Home - I've Returned
Wow, it's been a very long time since I was alive... the last time I was on here was way back in July 2015... I had just graduated high school and I was pretty unsure where I was going in life, and I began talking with different people. The slow death of the IRC didn't help.
So to recap what's been happening over the past few months: I've officially entered college, and I'm dealing with enough shit as it is. I've never experienced such an upheaval of emotions that I have been experiencing over the past few months... yet I felt I needed to come back here. This was the place that gave me comfort during a time where I lacked support from all ends. This was the place where I could talk shit, have serious discussions, yet be myself and escape from the daily hell that was known as high school.
I've returned in order to give more advice and share my own war stories. There are so many that are going into that hell that don't know anything. Sometimes they'll have to learn the hard way, but I want it to be known that yeah, I'm there.

Well dang it.
The world will blow up and I'll inevitably re-take it, and strangely promoting the sport of rugby union while I'm at it.

RE: I'm Coming Home - I've Returned
I wonder what college radio folk do? Id like to DJ and put some good rap between the oldies and the new guys. And maybe talk passionate politics (since swrious politics would make me sound like a news anchor, so add some emotion into it and some heavy words). Maybe itll turn out that im pretty cool on radio...

I would totally listen if Brainiac had a radio show and/or radio station. Though I doubt I could get it out where I live.
