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.

Life Story

ACT I

I was born. *gasp*. I was a pretty quiet kid apparently.

ACT II

I went to preschool, I cried, ALOT. Then I made some "friends" who would later betray me, bully me, and convince me that my life was worthless.

I left preschool after two or so years.

ACT III

First day of school, I met some of my old friends, and got headbutted in the stomach. This kid would later have his outline permanently indented into a tree. Anyway, the day was okay, although the teacher was a bitch.

ACT IV

Is basically years K-2

I met a really good friend, Ben (dragonboy). He helped me through the torture of Toongabbie Public School, and we're friends to this day. I met a whole bunch of other people, one being Robbie, who will become important later on.

Screwed around, got bullied. End of this act

ACT V

Is basically K-5

Bullying got worse, attempted suicide twice.

Was considering third attempt

Found SS, was happy again.

ACT VI

Tried skateboarding, got suckered into it by Robbie. Smashed teeth, had to have lots of surgery. Teeth died.

ACT VII

Moved to Central Coast. Made friends, discovered I was bisexual, joined SS and met Sarah. Started and ended relationship. Oh yeah, started learning Japanese.

ACT VIII

Moved back to Kellyville. Met some old friends.


END OF LIFE STORY

Re: Life Story

Hey, only just noticed this post now. Embarrassed I blame Diablo for that. But yer life story isn't over yet... unless you're aspiring to be like Mr Bright Spark the Lamp Guy... (I don't think hanging yourself would be a very bright idea... pun intended)... erm. Feel like adding more detail?
