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.

Whats your plan after finishing school?
I'll probably go to college
OS?
Right now, Slackware Linux 32 bit v13.0 on a laptop, but I want a good desktop with dual boot XP/Wolvix Linux, Windows being for music production software, games, and Linux as a backup OS, programming simple shit, and graphics. (I'm used to working with Blender 3D)
Political view?
Anarchist individualist-ish, that is, I don't believe in some large group that lives in perfect peace and harmony. Not sure what the "real" meaning is, I looked it up on Wikipedia and it didn't make sense to me. It pointed to individualism and it was all unclear.
Stem cell research?
I'm not sure about it.

In soviet russia [/quote]
Vatman Wrote:Which is more important to you, respect or trustworthiness. And why?
It depends. It's difficult for me to think about this, since I haven't expected or done much from anyone. I guess if I just wanted them out of my way, respect would be more important?
Quote:What will you do after college?
I've been thinking a lot about what will I do with my life. I'm sure I will keep being a musician, and probably an electrical engineer, I've been interested on that stuff since an early age.
I've dreamed since I was much younger of going away and setting my own place, independent of everything else, living independently of any government and help people who don't want it.
