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.

Took my dog on really long walk through town. Then cleaned the house (Step-mom pays for chores with tickets you put in jars. Pretty cool) Which means I earn moneys. End of the week will receive said moneys, and ask for moneys from father meaning DOUBLE THE MONEYS.
*Jobless child still excited by receiving five dollars*
Not only is Pittsburgh hosting the 2012 NHL draft, but Anthrocon 2012 is happening the week prior to that (the city actually let them know so they could adjust the schedule accordingly (why, those dear hearts and gentle people who live an' love in mah hometown, and I'm referring to both the people who notified the AC staff and the furs) so AC is gonna be a week earlier than planned), and there's gonna be 100 extra hotel rooms for AC 2012, which means 3 to 5 hundred more people in town for it in addition to the 11% (or whatever it is) average yearly increase in attendance.
And The Dark Knight Rises is coming out in mid-2012 (being filmed in Pittsburgh right now). Fuck man, the summer of 2012 around here is gonna be epic as shit. God, how I love The Burgh.
Well my day wasn't exactly great nor awful, more lolwut... though there was something awesome about it. My US History teacher faked his phone being stolen. He faked being pissed and everything, it was so real it was insane... I just fell for it all along, I almost couldn't believe it was a prank. I think he could've definitely been an actor but he says he loves teaching, and he seems to be an pretty cool guy, other than he seems to enjoy abusing his power from time to time. But yeah, he faked his phone being stolen by calling someone to take it, though I/most people didn't notice. Then he made a scene, left the classroom saying he wanted the phone back in his desk, returning, getting pissed, even cursing. "You damn 'honors students'. This hasn't even ever happened to me in *insert school name*... YOU CAN'T BELIEVE HOW FUCKING PISSED I AM RIGHT NOW. Oh and by the way, you ALL get zeroes on your notebook check", he made us write a report of everything that happened and faked calling someone to search our bags and shit.
Someone got pissed and left the room... I was sure she stole the phone. The teacher ran after her and convinced her to come back, and even expressed respect for her later for being the only one to stand up when we all just conformed and took it. Then later Mr. Someone came in and gave him the phone... the teacher said it was just a joke all along, collected our reports, explaining a few differences, and explained how what just happened relates to historical events, how different accounts very often appear to be completely different which is why we have to learn to be skeptical thinkers, which is what he wants to teach us in his class.
Told myself I don't have to do my English homework, YAY. God I love not having to force myself to do shit.
I still "have" to do my spanish one, though :|

I woke up from a dream where I found someone's wallet in my pocket, I decided in my dream that the wallet didn't have anything valuable except for $30 cash, so I kept it. I was so happy for the free money.
Then after I got up from bed the Coles supermarket delivery guy was at the door with my food, he accidentally gave me someone else's order on top of mine.
It was pretty shit because I spent all day trying to do homework, did none.
Day got better once I waxed my eyebrows and bought a 45cent avatar from the PSN.
I'm easy to please.

I can go to lectures of other courses at my uni, whenever I need knowledge about a certain thing I can just rock up to the relevant lecture and nobody will realise I don't attend that course. /megenius

Thanksgiving means four day weekend.
Taken up fuck-yeah-awesome teenage activities as I fall into a spiral of becoming a art and drama kid.
SS is back, just found this out recently.
My Dad is leaving to go racing today.
Grandma who is staying with us is going to some seniors club.
ie: I have the whole day and house to myself. A rare occasion.
Edit: Well,I get to do one of my favorite things today.
Just got a text from Corbin, he wants me to work on some crazy ass game concept by means of Artwork and story.
He wants some futuristic steam-punk thing. should be fun.
"Ask them no more questions, never hear them lying"
People say the problem with me is I have psychotic tendencies and care not about other human beings I don't like and or know. So?

Computer shuts off all of a sudden for a few minutes. I was fucking pissed off. It happened to me before, my laptop shut off that time cause my motherboard had shorted out. It would cost a lot to fix it again. So pissed off as I was at the time and without thinking, I banged on it twice which "fixed" the problem. I'm gonna take to the shop anyways.
This was Thursday night, but I don't care. The Pens were on and won a thriller game against Vancouver, and I then went stalkerin' around the place. A perfectly ясное небо, with some fog blanketing the ground, it was just... ahh, just amazing.
