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.

Yeah, there is, but they aren't mutually exclusive. Kind of like killing you and giving you good advice.

Dude, killing innocent people isn't expressing your own freedom, it's taking away theirs. You become the oppressor.
Do whatever you want AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T HARM ANYONE ELSE.

Re: Illegalism
For fuck sake, give up the badass wanabe BS already, we don't care if you don't have feelings or hate the human race. You're all talk.
...and fighting for freedom defeats the purpose if you take it away from others, it makes you a hypocrite and you wont last because other people will get rid of you. It's an unsustainable lifestyle.

Re: Illegalism
No. Listen. What I am saying may not be good, it may be inexplicably evil and hurt millions, but it's still exercising freedom. Personal justice I'm fine with, if you try and stop someone who's doing this, I won't have anything against you, because you'll be exercising your freedom, however making an organization to stop these people is... Oh yeah, non-anarchic, and oppresses freedom more than extinction.

Re: Illegalism
If you want to exercise your "freedom" to kill everyone off, go for it. See how long you survive anyways. Besides, why would anyone need an equal power distribution if everyone was dead anyway? It would defeat the purpose.

Everyone is equal. That was the point. Goal is successful. Everyone's dead, everyone in equal in death. Also, everyone dieing would be a lot easier and a lot simpler. And, in my opinion, a lot better.

I'm sorry, but this reminds me of Monster's very own Johan.

Anarchism doesn't work. Period. The strong people have control, and no one is free.

Re: Illegalism
That and after a while you'd just have modern society 2.0 after a couple hundred years once people have forgotten why their like this and that it's a shitty system. And I'm gonna bet that society 2.0 would be more fucked up than society 1.0.

Re: Illegalism
You wouldn't know it, but the Judge is actually getting kidnapped in this scene. HOW we are meant to know this is not explained, seeing as how we don't see the kidnappers at any point.
