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.

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.
My Chemical Romance are epic. <3 them. Especially 'You know what they do to guys like us in prison', 'Heaven help us', 'My way home is through you', 'Desolation row' and... well, everything really.

TRIGGER WARNING: THIS TRIGGER WARNING CONTAINS TRIGGER WARNINGS!
Dear Tumblrites:Despite your wrongly self-diagnosedPTSD, no line ofscientific evidencesuggests people can be triggered over theinternet. Triggering works through thesenses(i.e. smell, taste, touch, vision, hearing.) but it goes throughreal time; if you're not experiencing it in real life as it'sACTUALLY HAPPENINGin yourACTUALlife, youCANNOTbe triggered. The only exception to this is if you have aseizure, but then again, that's triggered byepilepsy(i.e. rapidly-changing flashing lights)NOT PTSD. Remembering a bad incident is NOT the same thing as having aflashback. When you remember, youthink; when youflashback,youfeel.

I'm going to be an emofag here for a second and say that I like MCR. Teenagers, Dead, I'm not okay (I promise), and hang em' high. Are all very good songs. I like the songs in general but mostly its because they give me nostalgia for 8th grade and all the chicks that started liking me out of the blue. It makes me feel good. less alone in the world.

I like my chem because they are the first band I've ever known who cares about their fans. Actually, I really don't know whether they are genuine but they provided the illusion. Now I know what JB fans go through when half the world bashes them for having an opinion. I guess it's kind of healthy to have a sort of diversity in our society. I mean it would be useless for us all to have the same taste in music. Plus it eradicates the hive mind the system want to achieve. Although when an artist is appealing to a large demographic there is a tendency for it to develop a distasteful image.
MCR are part of the Emo army that has invaded Scuzz and Kerrang. Where can one get a decent metal playlist on TV now? And by metal, I mean metal. Not deathcore breakdowns "FROOOOOOOOOOOIBURPINTOMICROPHONETOSLOWPALMMUTINGI'MSOOOOOOOBR00000TALLLLFUCKMAINSTREAMEVENTHOUGHI'MWEARINGABURBERRYCAPANDHOODIELOOKINGLIKEACHAAAAAAAAAAAAAVVVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

"free speech under the constitution only guarantees the government won't stop him saying it and does not guarantee his right to say things and have no consequences at all as a result. also i completely doubt that he is motivated solely by "i'm saying it because i can" and is probably motivated by a more shitheady motive like "i think it's funny to annoy people and Rustle Le Jimmies™ and is just hiding behind the first amendment to try to deflect any consequences or make you realize that being allowed to annoy people is a superior moral right. you can still disdain someone for doing things for dumbarse wankery purposes and you have evne more right to ban and insult them for it" ~Trar's friend about Potato.
Thanks for the diploma… can I have my childhood back?
I’d love to have a battle of wits with you… but I hate to fight the unarmed.

For anyone who remembers me going on an archive binge: Thank you all. I know I ended it being a drama queen, I don't really agree with the ideology anymore, and I'm really not the same person I was (I went through a neopagan phase!) but still this site was the first online community I was in. I graduated from school and turned 18. Time flies. KFC Nyan Cat, June 20, 2019.
