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.

Age and Sex
This is a pretty touchy subject that gets nailed by any politician because they can claim its for the safety of young people. It's also something I wanted to get off my chest.
Have we forgotten that sex is completely natural and that we are ready to engage in intercourse 4 or 5 years before the restriction?
Underage sex happens for a reason, because the body is ready for it. The problem is, we extend childhood and compulsory education over the time that our body is ready. It is constructed to suit the needs of a working environment and not the nature of a human being, so that they can support a child by working. Supporting a child whilst in school is a problem due to income, so the compulsory education system and working is at fault and conflict with human nature.
I hear people talk ill of 'underage' sex and it just makes me angry. If young people were treated like 'adults' and with respect then maybe they would respect sex and know what they may be getting into, not: "O HAI YOU'RE CUTE LETS HAVE SEX".
Some may argue that young people don't know what they're doing and don't consider the future, but isn't that a fault of the older generation using raging hormones as a scapegoat for poor sexual education and support?
In an ideal world we would be much more supportive of sex from puberty and teach that it is perfectly natural and acceptable to do so and give all the advice on sex, sexual diseases, condoms, etc and education would not conflict with giving birth or having sex.

Re: Age and Sex
I'm so sorry I had to
But the level of Sex Ed at my school was decent enough, as in if you actually showed up to PSHME the idea was pretty quickly nailed through your head that IF YOU HAVE UNPROTECTED SEX YOU'LL HAVE A KID and KIDS ARE UGLY WHINING SHITS WHO NEED LODS OF EMONE. I don't know how anyone could have missed that.

I'm sure this has been discussed here but what do you think the age of consent should be? Anyone...

Re: Age and Sex
As long as both parties agree with doing it, I see absolutely no problem with protected sex, even if it's "underage" sex.

Re: Age and Sex
I think once one hits pubity, thats when we should start to consider sex laws. This is a bit of a problem because some start earlier than others.
You're going to get 50 year olds having sex with 7 years old regardless of what the law dictates.

Re: Age and Sex
First off... the age of consent should not be a hard age limit. Different types of sexual interaction would have different age limits if you look at it logically... to be honest if there was a universal age of consent it should be about 14. Before anyone starts calling me a pedo understand that pedophilia is an attraction to PRE-pubescent kids... also Italy has an age of consent of 14 and so does Germany... two first world countries.... I also really don't like "statutory rape" laws... how dumb is it to say, "you wanted it and you both consented and enjoyed the sex... but since we think he/she is too old we are going to criminally charge him/her which will probably harm you the minor but we really don't care because we are fucking dicks."

Re: Age and Sex
Just a new boogy man for the politicians now that they can't fuck around with the homosexuals and unmarried sexfiends anymore. Anyway Magikarp accidently deleted my post but to sum it up I believe sex laws are crap because even before we had them we had people engaging in sexual bahavior and they used common fucking sense so no you won't see 50 year olds and 6 year olds fucking one another.
Either way its just fear mongering..

Re: Age and Sex
Uh, I accidentally edited out most of your post when I tried to quote part of it HoS and I don't remember what it said. I'm really really sorry. D:
Quote:Just a new boogy man for the politicians now that they can't fuck around with the homosexuals and unmarried sexfiends anymore.
Plus they can still use it to fuck around with gay people if they want, kill two birds with one stone! The age of consent is 16 here with a close-in-age exemption, but it's 18 for anal sex without a close-in-age exemption, so that they can arrest both of those faggots. :D
(Admittedly, I'm just being an asshole about it though, because I don't think it's actually enforced and was ruled unconstitutional in several provinces but not federally.)

Aww Magikarp its quite alright.
I don't remember it word for word but eh I got it close enough.
For some reason I just find it funny that somebody has to be 18 to get it up their pooper..
Still I can't see the pigs enforcing it unless they were really homophobic.

Re: Age and Sex
The AoC is alright over here - 16 - but I don't agree with it, exactly. It's a little sexist - in the only men can really be proscecuted over here.
Our sex ed was also decently reasonable - don't get pressured, and use protection, pretty much. But they did use shock images to 'persuade' the kids to use condoms... Not pleasant.
I dunno, some people are ready emotionally at 14, some at 16, some at 18.

Amen to that.
I remember I guy I was talking to discussing something that made me wonder..
"I think a quote I've read is relevant here...
"New theories are born when old scientists die."
Perhaps our advances in medicine are holding back our advances in thought, morals and ideologies.
Just a thought."

Re: Age and Sex
I don't think there should be a law. If your daughter has sex with a 50 year old man, well that's called back fucking parenting.
I have some girl friends that are 2-3 years younger than me. So when I'm 18, I can't have sex with any of them. But...I doubt the law will stop meh!

I'm sorry guys, but I disagree. Children aren't ready for sex, regardless if they hit puberty.

Be careful.
And, for the record, there's maybe a week between me and my boyfriend - but there were 9 years between my brother (26) and his girlfriend (16,17) when they got together and they were matched just fine, so ho hum, each to their own.

Re: Age and Sex
Also, sex laws are stupid. Why is the government trying to control how humans interact with one another? Why are they trying to control my body? WHo gives them the right to control people's fucking bodies?
Also, sex laws fail because it's impossible to monitor everyone's fucking bodies. WHAT THE FUCK
I'd rather go to jail, then worry about some damn sex laws. BULLLSHIT
