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.

What're You Doing Right..... NOW?!?

Right now I am sitting at my computer without a shirt on in my new boots listening to "Skinhead Girl" by N.O.T.A. and waiting for my laundry to be done.

You do what now?

Typing a reply to your post while wondering if I should either play guitar or go watch some porn.

But now I'm watching some lighting outside.

I'm wearing a shirt now. I had to go to the laundry room and move my stuff into the dryers.

Here's my new boots. They had Dr. Martens but the new style sucks; these are Harley-Davidson ones.

I am waiting for a friend to call so I know how many people are going to the midnight cult movie at the Del Mar. That, and taking a break from reading Survivor by Palahniuk.

Let's do the time warp again!

I think Buenaventura Durruti is a pretty cool guy. eh kills fascists and doesnt afraid of ruins.

Im just sitting here licking a battery thinking to myself those are awesome boots man. Im very jealous. Where did u get those? Just yesterday i went out looking for a pair of boots (a few months ago someone told me that my DMX reeboks are not cool) and i couldn't find a decent pair anywhere. I must say i like yours. Yes, thats a pair of boots when worn they scream "lunch with grandparents, death march across the jungle, im ready for anything." Cool boots.

I FUCKING LOVE THAT SHOW!!

...umm, editing my post......fun??
