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.

Ocyras

I know it's shutting down. But what's the new website? I can't find it. Too lazy.

Re: Ocyras

Last I heard, it wasn't done yet. So I'm guessing they'll let people know where it is when it's actually there Smile

Re: Ocyras

Yeah, I was on the verge of my third suicide attempt, and making sure it wouldn't fail. Then I found this place. It's great just to know that I'm not the only one who isn't brainwashed.

Re: Ocyras

Wow... people actually care about Ocyras? I was unaware of this.

Anyways, I've been extremely lazy when it comes to working on the new site...

It should have been ready long ago.

I'll get working on it.

Hi there. And yes, it would seem that people do care. Biggrin
More anti-school sites in the world is a good thing.

Haha, true. I'm working on the new site right now. Hopefully I can stop being so damn lazy.

I have a laziness problem too. Laugh
If you work on it when you really feel like it, then it won't require any actual effort.

Re: Ocyras

Very true.

Every once in a while, I get a strong urge to work on my site, and I work like crazy for a week or so, then it's done, and I become very lazy. It's strange.

Re: Ocyras

Same here. I obsess over different things every other week... and then I can't get myself to do anything besides the thing I'm obsessing over. I guess it's one way to spread the workload. Laugh
