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 Neverhood
So I just found an old (and apparently rare, ooft) copy of this game from years ago when someone lent me it. I officially forgot how much this game rocked - it's a puzzle/adventure game in a deserted world, animated with clay. You play as Klaymen, who never talks, and even getting out of the game's house is tricky for a ten-year-old!
To say this game is so old, it's bloody brilliant. In no other game can you spend three hours reading completely pointless legends and myths about a deserted world, which have absolutely no bearing to the plot OR completing the game - and not be disappointed. There's a good reason this game is so expensive, and that's because it's compeltely awesome.
If you don't contest it, torrent it. Now, to be honest and ask if this guy wants his game back when I've completed it...

Re: The Neverhood
Won the game on eBay. 37 bucks total.
There went all my e-profit. :waah:
"I heard a joke once. Man goes to doctor says "I'm terribly depressed". Doctor says "I know just what you should do. Poliacci the clown is in town, go see him, you'll be cheered right up." The man bursts into tears. "But Doctor, I am Poliacci." Funny joke. Roll on snare drum. Everyone laugh."

I know, that's why I said it looks amazingly difficult, instead of sounds. =)
