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: Obama cancelled the Constellation program!

Not really, no.

America has much more important things to spend money on, and seeing as how we're doing, we need to cut expenses.

It doesn't really help though. Thousands of jobs will be lost.

Re: Obama cancelled the Constellation program!

Look, I'm disappointed too, but let's be serious. The US has bigger problems to deal with right now than going to the moon. The moon isn't going anywhere but the economy is. Obama's got to prioritize.
I think Buenaventura Durruti is a pretty cool guy. eh kills fascists and doesnt afraid of ruins.

Nope.

It's just we're not going to the moon.

Learn to think, mkay?

lolno. Fixing a severely damaged economy is a bit more important than taking a ride up to a planet we've already been on. I might be a bit more disappointed if we had been planning to go to Mars or someplace similarly bitchin', but the moon scores low points on the excitement scale.

Pretty much this.

Honestly though, with my oath to stay out of all things politics, I didn't even know he was planning on another trip to the moon.

Well maybe that's fate's way of telling you that it's a stupid oath and you should keep track of what's happening in the world around you.

THIS IS THE MOON PROJECT. NOT THE SPACE PROJECT. IT SPECIFIES.

They were going to the moon FIRST! I've been to the space center, they told it to everyone that they were going to the moon and then mars.
