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.

I think the U.S Government is like a windows machine.

1. It is getting worse the older it gets.
2. It's getting really big and cumbersome.
3. You have no access to anything you wan't.
4. There's always a problem.
5. You can get virus's.

No but seriously. They are writing thousand+ page laws. Who the hell want's to read that many pages just for a damn bill. I could sum that shit up in like 5 pages. I think it's a way of sneaking things in that other people won't find because the bills are so dense.

Look at the bill of rights, and the constitution. You don't see them taking up a thousand pages.

Re: The U.S government is like windows.

I like how pretty much the only place run by people who would otherwise be retired, is politics.

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

You evil ecosystem-destroying human. I'll send my greenpeace friends to flood your house and burn your car.


I thereafter define "legal bullshit" as the paper documents made from trees that these creatures called "Lawyers" write in, with some sort of ink or computer.
I herein define "Lawyer" as an alien creature that writes the "legal bullshit"
I thereafter define "normal people" as the beings we like to steal money from, and we do not want to read this, YOU
I herein define "eyes" as the white structures with some glass magnifying thing that I forgot how it's called because I dedicate all my life to writing this shit

IF YOU ARE A LAWYER YOU SHOULD CONTINUE READING HEREIN. YOU KNOW, I THINK MY CAPS LOCK KEY BROKE. I DO NOT CARE. SUCKS TO YOUR EYES. THERE IS NO WARRANTY ON THIS, IF THERE'S A VIRUS AND YOU CAN'T READ THIS TEXT I WILL NOT THEREAFTER GIVE YOU MONEY YOU KNOW. IF YOU ARE NOT A LAWYER OR WHOEVER I WANT TO READ THIS YOU SHOULD NOT CONTINUE. YOU ARE WARNED THAT MY PURPOSE IS TO MAKE EVERYTHING, EVERY LAW WRITTEN HERE AS ININTELLIGIBLE AS POSSIBLE. ACTUALLY VERY FLEXIBLE, TOO

Legal crap thereafter, in my own opinion that goes through my head, is always of an extremely long length. Inability to read it might mean that the reader is not a lawyer, or a con artist, the artist of stealing your life and your life, but a human being. It will cause extreme boredom to everyone but lawyers and con artists, the artist of stealing your life and your life, but a human being.

Yay for parody of a 666-page EULA for spyware.
