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 found it
You tried to hide it from me David, and although it took me a long time, I've found your little internet refuge. And it will be fun irritating you to no ends.
Hello School-Survial, my name is Sarah and I am an old friend of your beloved Vatman. I think you will all grow to find my contributions very enlightening.

Why? You did tell me once that you wish you could spend more time with me. Careful what you wish for.

Re: I found it
I am here to contribute to this wonderful forum. I too hate school, its completely random that I should have stumbled on this website. And I am glad to have done so.

Re: I found it
Do you think I care Sarah? Really do you think I do.... tell some online forum about my many idiosyncrasies. Great! Good job. It isn't going to make me bat an eyelash.
Your efforts are futile and pointless. So on that note go ahead and dedicate the rest of your days to mocking and loathing me. Loathing is all your good for anyway.

Re: I found it
I'm not here because of you, I really hate school and have searched for a long time for a place that I could feel at home. You mentioned this place once and I'm glad to have found it.
Does it really bother you so much that I want to find people who share my distaste with our education system.

That's silly. Real men only go to the restroom when Death Metal is playing.

Re: I found it
I have a strong feeling that this will end either hilariously or tragically. If it's a simple case of dual accounts, I imagine it will be the former.
I think Buenaventura Durruti is a pretty cool guy. eh kills fascists and doesnt afraid of ruins.

Re: I found it
This got me thinking. What would happen if some of the people I talk to found this place, and identified my account?
...
Oh, O.K, I have a plan if this is to occur, although it may only temporarily work. No, no, it should work if I implement it correctly, and at the right time.

Re: I found it
Maybe it's dual accounts, but Vat just doesn't know it. It's like Fight Club but only slightly less gay.

Re: I found it
Vatman seems, for the first time I've ever known, irritated. *shock and awe*

Re: I found it
I am curious. Why do you want to irritate Vatman? What did he do to deserve such a cruel punishment?

Re: I found it
This, my friends, is my worst fear. For someone I know to find this place. It's kinda my own safe haven.
Though, Vat has a record for making dual accounts. If this is more than that, though, then oh shit.
