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.

I just realized how crappy micheal jackson's videos are. You have to listen to like 9 minutes off him acting before he dances for two minutes until he sings something for like thirty seconds.
Had to move on. Account is dead.

This post and the quote that Swift posted are made of win.
Pedophiles are the new witches in America. We're in the midst of these modern Salem Pedo Trials right now. If you can think of any crime that is more likely to raise contempt and disgust in Americans more than sexual assault on a minor, I'd love to hear it.
America has always needed a scapegoat (so have a lot of people, actually, but America is the main focus right now). Witches, immigrants, black people, Communists, hippies, and pedos. All have been targeted by society, and unfairly judged.
And just like the 50's, when if you yelled "Commie" at someone and pointed your finger at them, someone's social reputation is entirely trashed when you call them a "pedo." People lose track of logic when you accuse others of certain things, then they only think, "Omg, that's disgusting, what a sick fuck" before they even know if the accusation is true.
Now looking at all that, it's easy to see how one could scam rich people. Yell "pedo" and point your finger at them, then they'll either be so scared that they'll be sent to prison on false accusations, or so scared that it'll get out they're being accused of this, that they'll settle out of court whether they're guilty or not. It's obvious to me that this is exactly what happened to Michael Jackson, and I can see why they would target MJ due to his love of kids and his eccentric, child-like behavior.
I don't think Michael Jackson was a pedophile, nor a child molestor, I think he was the target of some scammer after he was nice enough to let their kids go to his theme park, and then a big joke for all the dumbasses in America who are too stupid to really know the impact of what they're saying.
Holy fucking shit. This post is made of extreme win.
woah dude

Well, it definitely affects me even though I never met him. Take a look at "Earth Song" for example to see just how much humanity he had. I still can't believe he's gone.

now srs business
Has it occured to you that both child molestation cases were settled out of court? MJ had the best lawyers in the country... it's not really an innocent man's move is it?
Dude, the dad of the first child who he was accused of raping was taped saying this:
"If I go through with this, I win big-time. There's no way I lose. I will get everything I want and they will be destroyed forever...Michael's career will be over"
Is that the words of a victim?
The second family that accused him had a history of using their kids to con department stores.
You guys are fucking assholes. I'm probably the most sadistic, careless, fucked-up guy I know, and even I can't find it in myself to make a joke out of this. If any of you guys knew the real Michael - not the bastardized, child-molesting, race-changing fuckwit that the average American ignorantly believes - you'd know that he was a great man. If you knew anything about his life, you wouldn't be calling him a pedophile and mocking his death.
In this topic, it has been shown how ignorant many self-proclaimed anti-ignorants can be. Good job.

Well... I hope I didn't "mock" it, I'm incredibly sad he's dead, it's just that I found psychopath's thread about Steve Irwin to be kind of funny, and so played along with that. Hopefully that's not seen as mocking.
Firstly, bobmanperson is a hypocrite who claims to hate retards but at the same time blames us for disliking jackson.
I dislike michael jackson not because he's supposed to be a pedophile, but because I just don't like him, and his death to me is like any other death out there.

Epic win.
I can understand people succumbing to prejudices and even ignorance, but not to this degree. Once someone spreads the word that Michael Jackson wanted to be white, that's the truth, not the fact that he had vitiligo, right? Once someone accuses him of pedophilia that's the truth, not considering that the accuser himself isn't exactly God, right?
I'm seriously starting to lose hope in this forum.

How 'bout that? You guys killed Michael Jackson. You bastards!
They think michael jackson going in to cardiac arrest had something to do with his prescription drugs he was addicted to. It'd make sense if it was correct.

Okay, fuck the unconfirmed pedophilia. He still dangled a baby out of the fucking window.
I think Buenaventura Durruti is a pretty cool guy. eh kills fascists and doesnt afraid of ruins. The quickest way to kill a revolution is to wait for it.
What were Michael Jacksons last words? "Put me in a childrens ward"
I miss him - not for the person, for the music. Im sad he's gone.

I think people are being too judgemental of him. And that's exactly the kind of thing I would have hoped to *avoid*. Instead people still go on making superficial comments.
I don't understand why people are making jokes about Michael's death. It's not funny. It'll never be funny. He was a great person who had to endure a lot of hardship, and nobody seems to understand that.

Dude its just a baby.

Dude, if your dad came bursting into to the room in the middle of the night with a hockey mask yelling "I'M GONNA KILL YOU" then took the mask off reminded told you to close the windows at night, I'd think I'd be fucked up.
