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.

Facebook Question

Hey, guys.

I posted a question on Facebook

"Why do they say education is a right even though people are FORCED to go to get this "education"? I thought having rights meant you can use it whenever you want to. Isn't this dictatorship?"

http://www.facebook.com/questions/perma ... 6065250465

or Search "Why is education" and big blob of text.

And now someone initiated with a response of "no education = hobo" argument and not really answering the question. Although normally I'd ignore fail arguments, putting out truth and intellectual discussion is a priority.

Since I can't respond to his pity answer, can someone post to counter his fail response?

No, it's Facebook.

But people who use Facebook are still retarded.

Here are a few of my favorite quotes that prove their stupidity:
Quote:Why would u do tobbaco it's going to give u lungcanxer or die instantly
Quote:if your 8 you shouldnt have facebook your breaking the law
Quote:90% of people marry their 7th-12th grade love. since u have read this, u will be told good news 2night. if u dont post this on nine status your worst week starts now
Quote:[on a quiz that determines what planet you are]
whats your favorite planet
[1.] uranus
[2.] venus
[3.] don't care
[4.] mercury
[5.] saturn
[6.] neptune
[7.] mars
[8.] sun
[9.] pluto
[10.] luna
[11.] jupiter
[12.] earth
America is doomed. Pluto is no longer considered a planet, the sun is a star, and "luna" isn't even a real planet.

Re: Facebook Question

Going to facebook users for enlightened opinions is like going to a vegan market to buy some steak. You won't find what you're looking for, and a bunch of people will tell you to go fuck yourself.

Plus, has anyone found a quiz on facebook that is properly written? As in no grammatical errors, run on sentences, and such? This is unrelated, but come on, what is the appeal in typing liek ur stil in jr hi schoolz ttoly awesomz...

You should see my brother. Since he's epic at RPGs, he's applied his grinding skills to FarmVille, and kicks ass at it.
