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.

Graffiti/street art

I don't know how many of you guys are into graffiti but I decided to make a thread on it, and before you jump on me, yes yes i know there is an older thread on this but I decided to make a new one.

I have recently started experimenting with it lately, though I'm a toy at most. most of my letters lack structure but anyhow Biggrin it would be great to see your pieces or what ever it is you do Biggrin wheat pasting and stenciling is welcome too!

Re: Graffiti/street art

For I bit, I was interested in it, and my room's furniture is covered in my incandescent scrawl, but I could care less nowadays.
If it's just mindless scrawl, like "Example was here", then it's not art.
Something like this though,

is in fact art.

Re: Graffiti/street art

I love graffiti art. But I hate how people scorn it as, "Those damn teens ruining our city" It's a lot more then those shitty scribbles on the side of mail box's. It's actually a form of expression. But everyone else seems to think its a bunch of crap and paint's over it. Personally I would let people do it on the side of my building, As long as they don't start gang banging there or anything.

Had to move on. Account is dead.
