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.

Quote:ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Sarah Palin, former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate, will take her conservative message to Fox News as a regular commentator, the cable channel announced Monday.
"I am thrilled to be joining the great talent and management team at Fox News," Palin said in a statement posted on the network's Web site. "It's wonderful to be part of a place that so values fair and balanced news."
Fox said that according to the multiyear deal, Palin will offer political commentary and analysis. She also will host occasional episodes of Fox News "Real American Stories," a series featuring true inspirational stories about Americans.
"Governor Palin has captivated everyone on both sides of the political spectrum and we are excited to add her dynamic voice to the FOX News lineup," Bill Shine, executive vice president of programming, said in a statement.
Palin is hugely popular with conservatives and has more than 1.1 million Facebook followers.
She stepped down as Alaska governor in July, 17 months before the end of her first term in office. Her resignation came less than a year after she vaulted to overnight fame as John McCain's running mate.
Palin worked part-time as a weekend sportscaster in the 1980s for KTUU-TV in Anchorage.
Her upcoming commentary career had her Facebook fans giddy with excitement Monday.
"Tell 'em like it is girl!!!!!!," one poster wrote.
Palin finished a nationwide tour in December to promote her best-selling book, "Going Rogue."
At least maybe this will keep her away from a real political job.
I think Buenaventura Durruti is a pretty cool guy. eh kills fascists and doesnt afraid of ruins. The quickest way to kill a revolution is to wait for it.
At least good ol' Fox News is being fair and balanced and giving a nice conservative the chance to speak out in this age of the liberal (read socialist) dominated MAINSTREAM media.
Lulz.
But seriously..A cable "news" network hiring a partisan hack with a pretty face to commentate on trivial bullshit?

Sounds like good business to me. *shrugs*
At least Jon Stewart will have plenty of new material.

Upside to everything.
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.
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Luckily Fox News hires clowns on a regular basis so finding something to bitch about isn't hard.

They (the corporate media as a whole) couldn't care less about the news. If you want a job where you can lie for a living and get away with it become a commentator/reporter for the MSM or a politican..or in Palin's case both.

I don't even want to think about how awkward Palin is going to be. Hopefully for her she doesn't make herself look like even more of an idiot. Time will tell.

It can do real damage when thrown at a wolf from a helicopter

Well, right now I'm watching Glenn Beck interview her on the television.
She seems like a nice lady, with some good views and some that aren't so great. She's not the average politician that has lied two-faced every step of the way and has no principles. She'd be a helluva lot better President than Obama.
I've also flipped through her book some, but not enough to get a good enough feel of it to make a judgment. She seems to paint herself as an average person who grew up in a small town environment that just happens to be a politician.

You never can tell about politicians though...
Oh, come on. Even the Republicans were scared of her ending up one seat away from the Presidency. It's been statistically proven that she lost McCain the election. She doesn't read newspapers. She accused Obama of being a terrorist. Her political knowledge would barely get her past a middle school geography test.
This isn't about her views. If she was liberal she would still be an idiot and a danger to the country. You don't need to defend her just because she agrees with you on some issues. God, if I was conservative I'd be terrified of her discrediting my people.

I am happy that she decided to quit being a politician. Well hopefully. Im "crossing my fingers" But I laughed so hard when she got hired to be a Fox News Commentator. I definitely wont be watching her.

Thank you. Also If she is going to call vegetarians lame. I do not like her.
