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.

Michealla
Michealla is a good friend of mine. I think we should all welcome her.
Someone dear to me once said "We are the light." But, if that's true, then why am I still searching?

Re: Michealla
This one seems decent.
With that said, Welcome to SS. Say no to therapy, it only makes you sane.

Re: Michealla
She's not that bad guys. And it was funny how she joined. I wanted her to read a post of mine and it told her she needed to either log on or create an account. So, she made an account. x.x
(Come on guys. Just because we had a few retards on here because of either Night or me, doesn't mean they all are.)

Re: Michealla
4th. But, Zoey and Sammi left. So, yeah. AND technically, I invited her, so don't blame Night.
