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.

Re: so sick you want to go back to school
I appeal to stop the facepalm party, and bring out real arguments. This person ain't a troll, she's real and in need of serious brainwashing recovery. We're here to help, not to brag about Loxey's hat.
Problem, officer?

Re: so sick you want to go back to school
What brought my hat into this?
Anything that ever happened or will... one condition, it has to be amazing.
I gave her wings but she don't wanna fly no more.

Half the SS topics derail into your fucking HAT. Hell, it happens even here and just now.
ENOUGH IS FUCKING ENOUGH.

The hell? it hadn't happened in this thread.
Get over it, as you know oh so well, life doesn't do what you want.

Re: so sick you want to go back to school
My brain needs washing? I thought I brought it to the cleaners last week, but watever you say goes. 
The ways we look at our world is different, we look different, learn different, but we will always love the same.

Re: so sick you want to go back to school
Not brainwashing you, but healing you from what you got at school. You need to learn how to reject - otherwise you'll become so dependent, you won't object if the school orders you to eat dog shit. Oh wait, they do... as the lunch. Semen included.
Problem, officer?

Either that or convincing her to learn using something else, we're not a cult here.

I trust it because it is the only thing I have to get away from my Mom and Brother yelling 24/7, but i dont mind the brain washing.

You don't mind having your thoughts and actions being controlled?

As long as I can still like the guy I like I'm pretty good with it.

Why don't you, they probably have constant thread necroes, and lots and lots of memes.
