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.
Why? Why does every single topic degenerate into this bull shit so swiftly? Chiisu I get it, he insulted your pride, I get pissy over dumb shit too. TA, you actually are a waste of oxygen and I mean that sincerely. I feel that you waste everyone on this forums time, and decrease the average maturity while bringing other users down with you. It's hard for a group to be mature when one member makes 95% of the populace less mature. If you want to flame each other keep it where I can't see it in the god damn frag arena, I'm now formally asking you guys to do me a huge favor and when TA insults you, ignore him. Chiisu I expected a bit better of you then actually lowering yourself to that pissants level. You chose to engage him on his battle field, admittedly with higher brow insults, but you still allowed that man to choose your battle field. TDF, I don't know what to say about you, you seem to enjoy these fights to much, but please just keep them to the frag arena, I don't like having to read on every topic. I feel like it's times like this that decrease our movements credibility and made us take the forum off of our home page, because to be honest, I thnk Soul is ashamed to have this on her forum. I know I sure as shit would be, because this is a disgrace, TA it's a dual disgrace for you, an insult to anarchists, delegitimizing that movement, and all of you as it delegitimizes the anti-school movement. It's pointless bickering that divides us on silly small topics in a time when we are still weak and need to pose an absolutely united front. The faults of left based movements was that they always fell to in fighting and bickering, this brothers is what will happen to the anti school movement if we leave it go. So I ask you to please stand with me in opposition to these pointless fights, let's give Soul something to be proud of, let's give ourselves something to be proud of, a forum that belongs on a website as great as SS' homepage. Thank you for even taking the time to read this.
Dance, when you're broken up.
Dance, if you've torn the bandage off.
Dance in the middle of the fighting.
Dance in your blood.
Dance, when you're perfectly free.

I'm mostly just going to respond to the parts directed at me here:
-TA did not choose my battlefield. I chose it, otherwise I wouldn't have struck at all.
-Granted, I did decide to jump down to just ground and kick him in the teeth, but not because of pride. -I do it because I am a giant asshole and love war.
-I completely agree that Soul is likely ashamed of this forum, but I'd like to further upon that statement and say that it needs to be moved and a proper SS forum be in its place, rules need to be installed here and followed, or it just needs to be canned completely.
-The fights probably aren't going to cease, but I'll refrain from stating why. No good can come of it, it'll just cause more flames and napalm.
-And uh- paragraphs, dude. Please.

Yes, I agree with you about rules, sorry guys but they keep order not make oppression but when half the topics are about CP or a fight... rules have to be established at some point.
I apologise for not using paragraphs I'm exhausted, and am surprised I used periods, I was just rambling. Seperating thoughts is like a dream right now dude.

Ok I do NOOOT want to start another argument from this, but conformatism could be like conforming to a group not jumping off a bridge. As apposed to rebelling and jumping off a bridge.
