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.

Re: What are you listening to right now? v2.0

yeah, Cannibal Corpse and AC/DC are totally "wrist slitting" music. The only one I can think of that you were referring to would be Linkin Park, and they're way cooler than any emo band.

Stratovarius - Hold on to your Dream

Quote:Since you were born pushed into corner
and left all alone
Told what to do, obey all the rules
be just like everyone else those fools
Day at the school
teacher's a bully
You're mobbed as a rule
nothing from TV
Your folks are away
you are trapped inside this house you must stay - home

Now it's time for you to move on
Leave the shadows of your past
Don't let them haunt you forever

Hold on to your dream
Somewhere there's a beam of hope
which is guiding your way through the dark
This is your chance
Your love your romance
Hold on to your dream and never give up
in your life - Hold on to your Dream

Let go of all desire for the common good, and the good becomes common as grass.

~~

Good fortune follows upon disaster;
Disaster lurks within good fortune;
Who can say how things will end?
Perhaps there is no end.

AC/DC doesn't make me want to slit my wrists.

They make me want to rock.
