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.

Day off

Perth had a big storm with golf ball sized hail and 120km winds which blew my fence down.Floods and landslides probably worst storm in Perth.

A day off to repair some schools seems pretty good since there are no days at all taken off for extreme heat.

Oh and why has the swine flu gone so quickly?

Re: Day off

Why does NSW never get some decent destruction? Why are you stealing our catastrophes?

It's skill building for later in life. You see, when you have a job, you generally have to come to work, destruction or not. Getting of school is just test runs.

It could be the apocalypse outside and our school would be open.

Come on nature, do what we've all been wanting to do! Biggrin Nah, I'm joking, especially if someone would get hurt. No days off for extreme heat? That sucks, but the schools should be equipped to handle both extremes, so a few days off is good.

To answer your question on the swine flu: People got tired of it. Or the media found another disease to cause people paranoia: cell phones causing brain cancer. While I don't deny the possible, I am completely against fear tactics.
