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.

How can I write a Research papper?

2 semesters ago I had to write a 20 page research paper for phycology and I got about 5 pages then I didn't know what to say/write.

Can someone give me some tips on expanding a paper?

LOTS AND LOTS OF STUFF.

Oh god.

My research paper was just tons of facts used to reiterate my points.

Anything that ever happened or will... one condition, it has to be amazing.

Re: How can I write a Research papper?

Basically you need to learn the art of Fluff.

Step 1: Write a sentence,
Step 2: Re-write the sentence so that it fills most of the page without really saying anything,
Step 3: Replace all the short words with long words
Step 4: Increase the spacing between letters, lines, etc.
Step 5: Add some pictures to fill space and maybe get extra-credit for working so hard,
Step 6: Hand it in.

Re: How can I write a Research papper?

Step 1: Write a sentence.
Step 2: Rewrite the same sentence replacing some words with synonyms.
Step 3: Rewrite the rewritten sentence by switching the order of the words.
Step 4: Repeat until you have filled 20 pages.
Step 5: Don't expect to get a good grade.

Re: How can I write a Research papper?

some trick i learned to make it longer. you go to the find and replace thing on word. then you find and replace all the periods and comas with one size larger font. it adds up.

life is just blah blah blah. we hope for blah, and sometimes we find it. but mostly its blah. and waiting for blah. and hoping you were right about the blahs you made. and when you think you just got the whole blah damn thing figured out, and your surrounded by the ones you blah. death shows up and blah blah blah.
