Why don't we use youtube?

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.

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.

Don't use music, not just yet. If you feel the need to use music, make it with a program like garage band or something.

You see, youtube is going to find something wrong with every single video we put up. And each time we will fix it, until they can't find anything else. Our goal here should be to get to the point where we have 100+ subscribers, because then Youtube might hesitate before they fuck with us. if we have like 200, 300, or even 400 subscribers, people are going to to care when we are gone, and then youtube will say, fuck it, have it your way.

Not sure if that will work, but let's try it. I know youtube is a bitch, but lets just see if we can succeed at least a little bit...

Hey L/Rebelnerd. Watch this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V025E_b5I4g You might find some use for it when messing with youtube's dickery.
