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.

Yeah. If you read my post "I kissed a girl" then you have a general idea what I'm talking about. Yes bordom is extermly toxic to 2 13 year old girls.
Someone dear to me once said "We are the light." But, if that's true, then why am I still searching?

BOREDOM IS CORRUPTING THE MINDS OF OUR YOUTH.
Anything that ever happened or will... one condition, it has to be amazing.

Re: Bordom is more toxic than being drunk.
This accidentally brought up an interesting thing.
Why all of the girls at high/middle school behave so close to bisexual, is it the seeking for attention or plain school boredom? Or a way to disturb the teachers?
Problem, officer?

Sadly almost all of them do it for the attention. It gives a terrible reputation to real bisexual people.
woah dude

Tru that.

No, Bored=truth or dare which sometimes=kissing same gender.
Happened to me once.
Luckily, it was a female friend whom I trusted not to freak out about it.
Here's the thing. When I kissed the guy I like for the first time, it was electric.
Kissing my friend? Not so. It was just a touch.
There's a difference between kissing someone you love and someone you know.
you know?
And so, so far, i'm straight.

Carla Franklin may be a whore. She may be a wonderful, kind, moral woman. Seeing as I don't know her personally, I cannot know for sure. However, I find her actions (suing Google, requesting the personal info of her critics, getting angry over random internet idiocy that she should ignore and be bigger than, trying to get this site in trouble because of a few users' commentary on the situation, etc.) pretty ridiculous and unwarranted. If she didn't want people to to be talking about/judging her, well 1. that's impossible, she's a human, and 2. she shouldn't have been a model or agreed to be on film. AND 3. she DEFINITELY shouldn't have sued Google and made all this fuss over a few random idiots whom she probably won't ever know expressing their opinion. Mmkay? MMKAY.

Ceiling Cat is right. Anna and I have to put up with so much shit since were really bi. Plus the teachers don't find out so why would it freak them out?
