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 HATE VALENTINES DAY.

Re: Happy Valentines Day!

I remember when I was still in high school, they held like a secret thing where you could send people flowers and shit on valentines day with revealing your name to your "secret crush". I NEVER GOT A DAMN THING.

FUCK THAT STUPID PIECE OF SHIT HOLIDAY.

Re: Happy Valentines Day!

Valentines day sucks fat monkey balls, it's just a crappy day where people act like someone they're not and buy shitty overpriced impersonal gifts in a sad attempt to get laid.

Re: Happy Valentines Day!

I lol'd when some fuck ugly guy in my class got a whole bunch of flowers. With notes that had the same handwriting. His.

Anyway, I kinda like this holiday, it's funny to see how weird people get when you give them a rose. As in a flower. The color of fucking blood. I mean seriously what the fuck?

Re: Happy Valentines Day!

This country is sick. We celebrate mass murder so often.

Carla Franklin has never denied that on the afternoon of the third of August 2006 she raped and killed sixteen children celebrating their friend's fifth birthday and forced their parents to share a dinner of their remains.


If a teacher you don't know tries to bust you for something, just tell them "Jsem výměnný student, nemluvím anglicky. Tak jdi do prdele ty posranej hajzle, tvoje matka je kurva!", then send me money.

Valentines day sucks. It's just an excuse to sell stuff, every-one know that.

The only good signature is a dead signature.

Re: Happy Valentines Day!

Valentines day SUCKS. I used to like it. Middle/High school ruined that for me. Now to me, its just a day where people buy gifts that cost $Over 9000 and EVERYONE on the planet is forceably, excruciatingly, sickeningly, happy. For me, Valentines Day is a normal day, and nothing more.

Re: Happy Valentines Day!

It was awesome in Elementary school because you'd get a shitload of candy from everyone. But in high school it meant sitting in a homeroom full of people who had all been given anonymous roses through the school's valentines day program. Cupid likes rubbing it in people's faces. I want to go Dick Cheney on that little flying fatass.

EXACTLY. VD is one of the most depressing days of the year for me. Nothing like being reminded that I've never had a girlfriend before and for that matter have never even had a girl express some sort of interest in me (except for "OMG, she likes you. PSYCH! Just kidding! *lol*" type jokes. I believe that we named them "giggletards" a while back). Now I get to watch commercials about VD and I get to work at my shitty close to min. wage job on VD. In doing so, having to go outside and watch almost everybody holding hands or holding roses.

I'm a jealous motherfucker, but rightfully so.
