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.

Re: The Revolution
I think the best thing to do is make some youtube propaganda. That way we make our position known, and can attract more similar minded people. Who here is any good at making youtube videos?

Forget about it. Youtube is pro-censorship, they'll prolly take are videos down on the first week.

Which gives us an excellent opportunity to portray the movement as a victim of that censorship. Then we release the vids elsewhere with "banned from Youtube" in the title and use it as free publicity.
I think Buenaventura Durruti is a pretty cool guy. eh kills fascists and doesnt afraid of ruins.
The quickest way to kill a revolution is to wait for it.

Re: The Revolution
I'd love to, except:
1. I don't have an email address
2. I probably would neglect the idea (I only have an actual computer 5 out of 14 days)
3. I do have a digital camera, but how to use the memory chip and all that is beyond me
4. I would be better off making PowerPoints (Which isn't a bad idea)
5. I'm kinda lazy with stuff like that
6. Like you said, it would get removed from Youtube but we could put it on AOL Video or something
I have an idea for a flag, but I still need to draw it out.

Re: The Revolution
You can always use windows movie maker.
Just use a audio recorder to make mp3s of it and using a picture make a movie with it.

Far out, give me the fucking password, there are a lot of things I need to change there.
EDIT: I got an email entitled password, but it deleted itself o.0 and I didn't get a chance to read it.

But I doubt YT would ever take down those vids unless they include major label music, which I hope you guys don't do. Vids IMHO are best w/o music.

YT took down a (prolly staged) video of some guys destroying their school. It did not include major label music.

All those who have youtube accounts please subscribe. And tell your friends to. Even if they don't listen to us at all, the numbers would be good.

I will once SS gets a video or two up, as you can't subscribe to video-less channels.

Re: The Revolution
I am bored, so I'm playing around with the flag again:
Here it is with a phoenix instead of an eagle.

Re: The Revolution
If anyone wants to easily make a new version, here's the manips I used:
The flame:
![[Image: flamef.jpg]](http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/3125/flamef.jpg)
The phoenix:
![[Image: 99674489.gif]](http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/8510/99674489.gif)
The blank flag:
![[Image: blankflag.jpg]](http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/3871/blankflag.jpg)
If we post the manips we use for flags / fliers / propaganda it'll make it a lot easier to build new materials and improve the ones we have.

Re: The Revolution
we should make the white section bigger, right now the pheonix doesn't really fit in there?
What does it represent anyway?

Re: The Revolution
The Revolution.
I got an idea. There's a POW medal for some countries' military. On it, there's hands breaking free from chains. Whaddya think? Can someone try that on the flag?

I don't know if it'll work with the current phoenix pic, if you make the white bigger it looks bad but if you make the phoenix smaller that looks bad too.
A phoenix represents:
Rebirth
Resurrection
Reincarnation
Ascension
Rising Up
Immortality
The Life Cycle
"Strength rising from destruction"
It can also be used to represent peace, but more like a post-war triumphant peace, not a cowardly pacifist peace.

I looked but haven't found any pics of medals like that on Google yet,
You should try to make a prototype of how it should look, and then post it on here even if it's not perfect, if we all post the different manip parts, along with them combined on the flag, we should be able to form a human machine of people posting improved versions and then more people taking those versions and improving them even more. Most manips will never make it to the final product, but they will lead us in the right direction. The unused manips can still be used for propaganda and distribution material.
