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.

Nice one, Elfy.

scientistB, I can't get your pic to load, it keeps saying this:

I'm thinking of extending the deadline again, I'll give it another week so we can get some more entries in. Smile

I like Elfy's too. If THAT poster doesn't convince kids at my school, I don't know what will.

How do I upload the photo. Seriously. I have the picture on the computer, but I can't figure out how to put the picture on Razz

Someone dear to me once said "We are the light." But, if that's true, then why am I still searching?

zOMG more entries Biggrin

scientistB, nice happy rays of doom... I don't know why, but that just sort of came to mind when looking at your poster. XD

L, those are actually pretty good. Are those images free to use though?

Thade, do you have a scanner by some chance? ... 'cause the photo came out a bit blurry. Nice concept though. Smile

I'm surprised that I'm getting positive feedback on my poster. I mean, there was this troll who says my art is terrible, but I bet he's jealous.

Since I'm in a different time zone, I'll wait another 12 hours or so before stopping this and starting the voting. For me it's the end of the 11th of May... but not for most of you though. Smile
