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: When you first came onto the internet...
Ahahahaha good times. I typed like a retard and acted like one. Still managed to make some friends though I probably wouldn't have been my own friend. xD The typical kinds of posts you would get from me would be threads titled "WAFFLEZ!!!" and then the post body saying the same thing. I also had a picture of pedigree dog food in my signature on one forum. Oh the joys of being 11.
Who am I? Who are YOU?

No Crayola, you must stay here with us, forever and ever and ever.

Oh, why the fuck not? But seriously, it's physically impossible for me to be wanted by people for over a year.

What better a way to celebrate your anniversary than to drink all night? I promise you won't end up in bed with someone from the forums or anything! Especially not TDF!
Oh yeah, I started off on the Neopets forums. Self explanatory.
PLEASE, TELL US JUSTIN

Re: When you first came onto the internet...
Actually. For a good idea of how I was when I first came to the interwebs, go to my profile, click on my glowing red post count and click on the very last page. It was that horrible. But worse.
