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.

My parents know about it and don't give a shit.

Anything that ever happened or will... one condition, it has to be amazing.

Re: Will be gone for a while

My dad would want to join. I talked to him about gangstarebel that one time and he sounded all interested "What's it called?"

I was like O SHI-

If my dad ever finds this site, and joins, lets all fuck with him and see if he can tell who's me. Then, when he finds out, permaban him. Laugh

Re: Will be gone for a while

Because he apparently agree's with me 100% (Yet he gets pissed when I get a bad grade)

So, he's better than most parents, in a sense. And he's definately not new to forums. His getting himself modded in one day.

Once my mum saw me reading SS and asked me if I was reading the satanic bible.

Re: Will be gone for a while

My parents lost control of what I do online the minute I bought my own laptop.

Of course they pull some kind of shit like, "your grounded from your laptop" all the time. But then I just keep using it until they forget.

Re: Will be gone for a while

When my parents found out they pulled a full-front federal investigation on this site... I still have no idea how the fuck they got it. My mom is still pissed that the government said that the website was safe with the line 'If everyone on the internet is a paedophile or a rapist, then what is your son?'. Turns out I'm a paedophile, but that's beside the point.

Anyway, seeya soon Memento.

Mori disappears soon as Moriko appears? Strange.

Mom and Dad know about this site, I tell Mom about all the funny stories, she was asking why I was getting votes in the 'bang' thread. I explained that I am a pimp.

Re: Will be gone for a while

Y'all's parents are weird.
I can't imagine my parents ever giving a crap about what I look at on the internet. Unless it was something that would bring the police, I guess? It's true that they don't want me to break the law in their house, but other than that they don't give a shit. And they might not have been interested in this site but I doubt they would have hated it.
