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.

I hate having scary dreams.

I know. A person like me who is almost the legal age to be an "adult".

I had this weird dream where this like eel thing went inside my stomach and went in there. I had to have someone put a parasite which someone goes through my whole body(sort of like a worm that grows and eats all inside) and then comes out the mouth. It dies the moment it exits the mouth and can be pulled out of your system...even though it'd be a couple yards long due to the size of the intestines and the sort. I don't understand what it means but I guess it's trying to say that something is eating me from the inside out. It must be my horrible life...general guilt for humanity...and guilt for even existing because of how I am mentally due to my disability.

Re: I hate having scary dreams.

It doesn't matter if you're an adult or not, a scary dream is still scary, and pain is still pain. Just that we grow a bit we can endure more of it Smile

I actually love scary dreams. If it was real, obviously not, but I just LOVE intense dreams. I don't know how to overcome nightmares, but I heard that they could be due to the fact that you're stress or scared of something in life. But that could be bullshit, I'm not sure. And have you ever heard of lucid dreaming? That could end your nightmare problems, lucid dreaming is where you're in a dream and you know it, so you're fully aware all isn't real. Look into it, it's pretty interesting.

Re: I hate having scary dreams.

My scary dream last night!

Okay so I was in my backyard and I was walking by my pool... I noticed many crabs crawling around.... (I live no where near the beach) I move to see what they are doing and then I see the corpse of a little girl and not far off the corpse of a little boy... I start crying and then I hear my brother yell and both corpses get up and start chasing me. Then I look to the woods in my backyard and a shit load more corpses are walking out of the woods. I reach my brother and we both pull out swords... but a feeling of dread weighed me down and I could barely move... so me and my brother stood to fight and just as the little girl zombie reached us and I lifted my sword I woke up.
