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.

My Poetry
I'm a poet. Someone on another forum calls me Shakespeare. Here are three poems I made. The one I made for the poetry contest will be revealed after the contest.
I have nothing to prove to you,
Nothing to say.
I only have one life,
And I've lived it today.
You can laugh at me, scream at me,
Say I've done wrong,
But I can't change my words or my actions,
I sing only this sad song.
It doesn't help to regret,
What is done is done,
It won't even be fixed with the set of the sun.
I've made my mistake,
My energy spent,
I've said enough words,
The message is sent.
-
When my Heaven comes to peices,
When Death knocks on my door,
When hell's dogs are at their leashes,
When life ends I shall want more.
When fists on Heaven's doors are pounding,
When the saints won't let you in,
When hell's dogs run, voices sounding,
Makes you wish you hadn't a sin.
-
I can't find the right words to love you.
I can't find the right words to care.
I've only thousands of words to choose from,
And I don't really think that they're there.
I've seen you from so many angles,
I've loved every inch of your soul.
I've looked through those eyes into beauty,
And since then, to love you was my goal.
And these words that I put on this paper,
They don't even seem like enough,
I've only thousands of words to choose from,
And telling you can get very rough.
I detest school in three languages!
Je déteste l'école dans trois langues!
Ich verabscheue Schule in drei Sprachen!

I don't really like them. Just personal preference though.

The rhythm is fucked up./
Good, nonetheless.

This poem may not be the best thing in the world, but it's sort of cool, nonetheless  !

Well, I liked them. Especially the first one.
