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 meant LITERALLY sad.

If no one became a Janitor than maybe the PAY for it would actually be GOOD.
Only get a job if you ENJOY it or you're taking AWAY from someone who REALLY wants to be a janitor, and Fucking up the Economy.
Like the people who ask for LESS pay just so they can GET the job
read about supply and demand.
Are you fucking stupid? We're in the middle of an economic shitstorm! People who've already lost jobs and have had to take manual labour just to scrape a living are going to be miserable. When they see fucks making their job more difficult they're going to get pissed, aren't they? You fucking twat.
Also, aviator's post was win.
well boo fucking hoo it's still their job and they are getting paid to do it, they have every right to bitch and moan but it's still HER JOB to pick it up.

Also If she's gunna moan She shouldn't of even been hired in the first place.
Who am I? That is irrelevant.
What am I here for? That will become apparent.
You can call me Apathy!
It may be her job to pick it up, but I think the thing she was trying to do was teach TA some sort of lesson; and certainly she wasn't going to pick it up in front of him. That would be degrading to the max for her. Seriously, guys, what would you do in her shoes?
For some reason I don't think you would stand there and take that shit either.
It is better to ask for forgiveness than for permission. - Neal Vitale I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints. The sinners are much more fun. Everyone can back up their opinions.

What if it is a spell to alter emtions? Or that marridge spell you posted? Hmm?

No, you said performing magic had nothing to do with emotions. What if the spell is designed to alter emotions - such as love for marridge?

Dude, TA, how hard is it to bend down, grasp the can with your hand and walk to a trash bin? Do you have a disease that prevents you from doing it? Are you morbidly obese? Or are you just lazy?
I know it's summer and all but this is getting kinda sad.

when I said "sad" I meant pathetic, however if a bunch of people talking about whether or not someone should have picked up a can (or whatever the hell this thread is about now) is interesting to you then by all means please continue.

TRIGGER WARNING: THIS TRIGGER WARNING CONTAINS TRIGGER WARNINGS!
Dear Tumblrites:Despite your wrongly self-diagnosedPTSD, no line ofscientific evidencesuggests people can be triggered over theinternet. Triggering works through thesenses(i.e. smell, taste, touch, vision, hearing.) but it goes throughreal time; if you're not experiencing it in real life as it'sACTUALLY HAPPENINGin yourACTUALlife, youCANNOTbe triggered. The only exception to this is if you have aseizure, but then again, that's triggered byepilepsy(i.e. rapidly-changing flashing lights)NOT PTSD. Remembering a bad incident is NOT the same thing as having aflashback. When you remember, youthink; when youflashback,youfeel.

The thoughts had become corporeal on their own account, were ghosts, e. g. God, Emperor, Pope, Fatherland, etc. If I destroy their corporeity, then I take them back into mine, and say: "I alone am corporeal." And now I take the world as what it is to me, as mine, as my property; I refer all to myself."The Ego and Its Own, pg. 15
