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 Haiku Thread

Haiku (俳句, Haiku?) is a mode of Japanese poetry, and is in fact a modification made in the late 19th century by Masaoka Shiki of the older hokku (発句, hokku?) form. The traditional hokku usually was written in three verses of more or less 5, 7, 5 syllables (on-ji). The Japanese word on, meaning "sound", corresponds to a mora, a phonetic unit similar but not identical to the syllable of a language such as English. A haiku has a special season word (the kigo) to represent the season in which the poem is set, or a reference to the natural world.

Haiku usually breaks in three parts, called kireji, normally placed at the end of the first five or second seven morae. In Japanese, there are actual kireji words. In English, kireji is often replaced with commas, hyphens, elipses, or breaks in the haiku. Japanese haiku are normally written in one line, while English language haiku are traditionally separated into three lines

Post all your Haiku's in this thread!!!!

We had to write a poem about gas for chemistry class. Haikus are wonderful because they can be completely silly but they always sound insightful.

Rush Hour

Atoms bustling
Moving in sync yet detached
Lonely masses

I detest haikus
I don't see why they are popular

I highly suggest Mobb Deep's albums The Infamous and Hell on Earth, if you have not listened to it yet.

Girl on the bus (part one) by Nigel Robles
Saw a pretty girl
She was on the bus today
She smiled, didn’t talk.


(part two)
She left the bus
Won’t see her again
Or maybe I will…
They in the sea being burnt, they in the burnt ship drowned.

Wasn't there already a Haiku Thread somewhere around here?
Spambot Kill Counter: 33
Spambot Kill Counter as Spambot Hell's Devil: Countless

Buying a high powered computer: 500 bucks
Getting gift wrap: 10 bucks maybe
Seeing the horror on that special someone's face once they tear off the gift wrap and see a Windows 98: Priceless.
