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.

Re: Yes hi
Werewolves DO exist! I was right! Yea, I'm completely weird, I prefer werewolf stoies over vampire ones. 'Cause I'm speshul.
Welcome to SS. God, I really need a Welcome to SS phrase... I'll think on that later.

They can be a good read it they don't fail. I like the idea of the supernatural, it's fun.

Re: Yes hi
Night World? I'll have to read that. I like the Sookie Stackhouse Novels. (True Blood books) They have everything, Vampires, Werewolves, shifters, fairies, maenads, and witches. I personally think it's too much. I think it went overboard with the fairy. Though it's not that bad since she doesn't have wings.
Oh, and the vampires don't sparkle.

Re: Yes hi
Welcome! NCIS is the first thing I thought of when I read the name. /highfive!
That show is awesome!.
Good luck with all your exploits!
Edit: Your fail /facepalm I thought I was above this.
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.
