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.

Here's his playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL...magOpNUQvo
There are a bunch of different strategies, but it seems to often starts with this: You go to bed and sleep about 4 hours, then you get up for 30 minutes. This is supposed to be a great time to do the techniques.
-Imagining yourself free falling.
-Imagining climbing out of your body with a rope.
-Rolling your eyes back and looking toward the area in between your eyes(eventually feeling a pressure there)
-Imagining yourself spinning(the angle doesn't matter). This combined with the previous one made me feel the vibrations so intensely. I probably would've actually left my body, but I got scared and made myself stop. xD
-Trying to roll out of your body
And others. I got them from here: http://in5d.com/30-astral-projection-techniques/
A big tip is not getting over excited because it interrupts your focus.
Ryan explains this way better. xD
I kind of remember just imagining that I was leaving my body. Also have you ever been successful? If so, what was it like? And with the sleep for 4 hours and get up for 30 minutes, does it cause sleep paralysis? I still can't even lucid dream; when I know that i'm dreaming I wake up instantly. Well, I will try these techniques.

I haven't succeeded yet, though I haven't been trying as often lately.

I think it just helps your body(not your mind) fall asleep faster.
I feel like AP would be easier than lucid dreaming. It's like you're waking up in new body and exploring vs just imagining everything and trying to stay asleep.
I think.. At least.. I've only ever tried Ap.

I don't know. Astral Projection seems like it would take more practice to achieve than lucid dreaming. Lucid dreaming is something that I've been close to achieving several times. Originally, I thought that this forum was for youth rights and school related topics, but it's more than that.

Your probably right. I've never even tried Lucid dreaming. x3
Heck yes, this forum is everything.

You should try lucid dreaming. It's nice to be able to control your dreams, but it takes some practice, because if you are just starting out, as soon as you realize that you're dreaming, the dream starts to fade away.
