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.

Re: If you laugh at this you're going to Hell
I actually feel bad for William, poor kid's been dealt such a bad hand. Crippled AND a tranny? Poor kid's fucked.
That being said, William is my favorite... I couldn't help myself from loling at the first one though.

Re: If you laugh at this you're going to Hell
If we're going to hell, think about the people who made this.
I really don't get the point. is this supposed to be some kind of heartwarming video for parents and down-syndrome kids to watch? Is there some underlying message that's supposed to shine through, like acceptance, or tolerance of those who are different?
It seems like it's trying to get through but isn't making it.
I'm not really amused by this, and I'm not angry or weirded out either- just confused.
Why?
An it Harm None, Do What Ye Will
An it Harm, Do Only What Ye Must
Lighten up! This life was made for experimenting, making mistakes, falling on our faces, and standing up to do it all over again.
Live for Learning.
Carla Franklin may be a whore. She may be a wonderful, kind, moral woman. Seeing as I don't know her personally, I cannot know for sure. However, I find her actions (suing Google, requesting the personal info of her critics, getting angry over random internet idiocy that she should ignore and be bigger than, trying to get this site in trouble because of a few users' commentary on the situation, etc.) pretty ridiculous and unwarranted. If she didn't want people to to be talking about/judging her, well 1. that's impossible, she's a human, and 2. she shouldn't have been a model or agreed to be on film. AND 3. she DEFINITELY shouldn't have sued Google and made all this fuss over a few random idiots whom she probably won't ever know expressing their opinion. Mmkay? MMKAY.

FAIL. Yet another failure of understanding natural selection.
On the other hand, LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee2rDzql ... re=related
Actually I understand natural selection quite well. One of the few interesting things we learned in school this year. Some traits are desirable, some traits are undesirable. The traits that make a species most likely to survive get passed on as the organisms with the traits least likely to allow the species to survive slowly die out. Eventually this allows a species to evolve traits better suited to surviving. Sure, none of these RETARDS will reproduce anyway, (Or at least I sure hope not) but the fact of the matter is that if it weren't for the life support society has given them to allow for their miserable existence they wouldn't last a day. They all SHOULD have died off years ago. I say take off the life support for all who live like that and let them die, because they're only draining on society.

Re: If you laugh at this you're going to Hell
True. Cripples are one thing, but if someone's impaired genetically, they shouldn't be forced into life - and if so, then at least restrict them from passing on the flawed genes.
Problem, officer?

Because school is a very good learning resource.
If an organism is alive then it's sufficiently adapted to its environment to survive. Oh, if there was no modern medicine and nobody looked after retards etc etc, they would die, but maybe you haven't noticed people do look after these retards and they are allowed to live.
There's no such thing as "they're not supposed to live" unless you believe in some higher power. They are alive, so they are fucking alive. Natural selection isn't some conscious being that decides who gets to live, it happens automatically.
By this fail logic you could say that nothing on earth is "supposed" to be alive because if the Earth was swallowed by a blackhole then everything would die because they're not equipped to deal with it. Well, guess what, it hasn't been swallowed by a blackhole.
Natural selection has nothing to do with your version of toughness or fitness, it just means organisms best adapted to their environment survive. Technology is PART of our environment, so just because people depend on it doesn't mean they're not "supposed" to survive.

Re: If you laugh at this you're going to Hell
So what? Someone cares for them? Why should that change my opinion? They're detrimental to society. If you develop it in an accident or some such, then whatever. It's up to you. But from birth? Death.

Re: If you laugh at this you're going to Hell
What makes someone who got in an accident and different from someone who's born with it? Neither are doing anything productive, so by your logic, if you got hurt in an accident, you should be put down.

Facepalm. I'm not being empathetic or some shit. I'm pointing out the fail logic of saying "they're not supposed to be alive cos of natural selection", because if they're alive then they're sufficiently adapted to their current environment. Environments change. Your fitness depends on your environment. You might survive in one and die in another, depending on which one you're most adapted to.

Not my point at all. If you're going to be an absolute fucking moron from birth, or have something wrong with the structure of genetics, you should die. This is called unnatural selection. Natural selection can go fuck itself.

Whilst I agree, I'd probably get flamed for just 'if you get in an accident and damage your spine, go die in a fire'. At the very least, the people who are fucked up from birth are a pain to everybody and don't have a tragic story along with it. Oh, you had a third foot protruding from your head since birth? That's so sad! Fuck that. You're a freak. Die.
