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.

Has it ever occurred to anyone here that if racism didn't exist the world would be a much nicer place?
All those people using racial slurs, posting racist images, etc., are just propagating unnecessary hate.
Instead of looking for reasons to tear each other apart because of our differences, we should be embracing each other, regardless of race or skin color.
After all, no matter what your ethnicity is, you're still a PERSON, like everyone else here.
Actually, I'm more pissed off about the fact that they have this whole "black culture" which apparently lets them get away with them being idiots. Affirmative action doesn't help much either, because it lets them be stupid AND get jobs. It's not fair.
And no, I'm not hating on ALL black people. Some are actually pretty cool <3

Most of us here (not me tho) do this not as actual racism, but as fake racism, as a joke. If you been here since early 08 or earlier you'll understand.

Some black people are uppity, and are racists. Face it. I am not a racist, and have black friends. The thing is, in my school, and throughout this country, there are numerous blacks who fucking HATE white people. They non-stop point out white people and blatantly discriminate against them...
Just the other day, I was walking in the auditorium in my school and a rather obese black girl said, verbatim, "White boys got tiny dicks." I had half a mind to whip my dick out, and slap her upside the head with it. It probably would of changed her mind. Almost every day I hear "cracker" and "white-bull", not to mention "whitey"...
Alternatively, if I so much use the term "black" while referring to some of the retarded blacks in my school, they get in my face about it, and call me a racist. My black friends don't have a problem with it, but I guess to some "black" is a racist term. Despite the fact that many civil rights leaders supported the term.
And that, I think, summarizes some of my major issues with black people.
Okay this is coming from a black person.
Black people are the stupidest most ignorant fuckers there is.
From their outdated racist hypocritical views to their entitlement issues its just painful to see the old generation telling the new about how they had to suffer through this and how the white man is out to get them(can't wait til they die out).
