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.

A gift to HoS and awol

Quote:Frank Fenner sees no hope for humans

"We're going to become extinct," the eminent scientist says. "Whatever we do now is too late."

Fenner is an authority on extinction. The emeritus professor in microbiology at the Australian National University played a leading role in sending one species into oblivion: the variola virus that causes smallpox.

And his work on the myxoma virus suppressed wild rabbit populations on farming land in southeastern Australia in the early 1950s.

He made the comments in an interview at his home in a leafy Canberra suburb. Now 95, he rarely gives interviews. But until recently he went into work each day at the ANU's John Curtin School of Medical Research, of which he was director from 1967 to 1973.

Some sick impatient side of me is half hoping that this happens earlier so that I'm not an old fart when it happens. Not because I want humanity to die but it seems boring to go down as an old man compared to an able person capable of trying to stop it.

How will population explosion kill us off? Because there'll be no food left?

Sorry, I'm not good at this subject, I'd really like some explanations.

Agreed, and I'm pissed I won't see it. Most of the scientists or at least people who majored in science I know agree that we are pretty much fucked for keeping our current living style for long. Anyway, I wouldn't mind having this happen, at least we would have something interesting to do then.

I'm like global warming activists with the population thing. It should be our main priority, but people don't even know it's a problem. At least climate change is getting news coverage and bawwing fangirls.

The food thing is a main problem. Not to mention pollution that the climate change activists always baww about would drop along with the population.
Then, there's the fact that we need oxygen. We all breath it at the same time. We're cutting down trees to make room for more people, thus leaving less trees to intake CO2, and more people breathing. Hell, this is just a theory backed up by nothing more than my limited knowledge on oxygen levels, but if there are enough, we might even be facing a fucking oxygen shortage.

Re: A gift to HoS and awol

I doubt we will run into any sort of oxogyn shortage, but we deffinitely will get fucked by having to many people around.

Hell, within 20-30 years we are expected to have double the amount of people we have now.

Ever been to an overcrowded beach? Yeah, try that everywhere. And double the amount of tards trying to fit on the beach.

Fuck. I want to punch a pregnant lady in the stomach right now. I really do. I want to slap someone when I hear "I'm gonna have eight kids!" Those eight kids go off and they have eight kids. That's 64 more people that DON'T NEED TO BE HERE

(And I don't actually think there will be a shortage, even if it were possible, lack of food would have killed us off long before that.

Re: A gift to HoS and awol

Actually, at this point I agree. Well, it's not there yet. Before that becomes necessary, people should push for a population control movement. Just urge people to adopt, tell them they're killing their entire species, not to mention the fucking earth, every time they pop out a shit machine from their vaginas.

Trust me, if this got the coverage global warming does, things would get done.

Earth has existed past and endured more trauma than anything humans have lived to see.

Ya, I agree. The argument that we can't feed everyone because of the massive population today is kind of shit. We throw away enough food on the daily to feed everyone.

Overpopulation is still a legitimate problem though. In the future, we will actually have problems feeding everyone. Even if we won't run out of things to eat, we will run out of things we want to eat. I mean, the amount of fucking land we use up with the corn we grow is ridiculous, and the amount of people we feed with it is ridiculous. If we have 12 billion people, we will need twice the amount of corn, and twice the amount of land to grow it.

Oh, and we should destroy africa.

Re: A gift to HoS and awol

Oh shit. Fixed that. I accidental said we should only destroy the part of africa were SR is. Laugh I meant to say only destroy north Africa, but after re-analyzing the image I figure your right.

Oh, and I'm not really serious. I don't think we should go wipe out a whole continent. I do however think what bill gates said is perfectly acceptable and there is nothing wrong with reducing pregnancy's in countries. I mean seriously, 7 fucking kids per women on average? Fuck that shit.
