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.

Re: BobManPerson's photography

My friend and I visited a forest preserve, and out in an open field we found a bunch of abandoned gardening tools. Apparently someone tried to start a garden there.

Of the things we found, one of the most interesting thing was a small statue of the Virgin Mary.

I'm jealous of where you live, dammit. Oh wait, I have a place like that around here too, I'm just not allowed to go there.

You should stay in that house I told you about if you get kicked out. It's in the town where I live. I'd gladly show you where I go to photograph things; they're also pretty good places for hiking/parkay.

Also, I visited the pipeline again. This time, I brought a camera.

Except I have better, especially for photography. I might get a camera and compete with you.

I didn't intend for these to be wallpapers, but if you want wallpapered versions, I can resize them and upload them to a better host (one that doesn't resize them).

I have discovered the magic of HDR imaging. Photoshop CS5's HDR toning feature is awesome.
