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.

Silenced by the light,
In chaos by blood red waters,
Men blinded by the purity of fight.
Tolls are taking their wage,
Nothing left but pure decadence,
And the burning heat of men's rage.

Sword and bow or cannon and mail, makes no matter whose got the serpents tale,
Rhyming incoherent for self-creating ideals, yet many a men have no idea how it feels.
Trapped upon a war of severed manuscripts, and acidic bleaches take one on a trip.

Through suffering days,
Upon endless nights,
None can understand,
The totality of the plight.
Crooked and corrupted,
Alre the way upon all men go,
Revolutionaries deem the falsities,
Yet create many of their own.

Creepy crawl, Creepy crawl, Creepy crawl, Creepy crawl.

Propogation of propoganda,
The sole factor spewing from both sides in slander,
Speaking in tounges of old that criticize the new,
The bullets come out of the blue,
Not caring about with what they collide,
Everyone advancing their own broken mind.

Someone wants to murder the politicians,
Yet they play one themself,
No one is ever able to understand,
Why each other doesn't get help.
Misdeeds are the sole propogation of mistrust,
Yet control and absolution are the only lust,
And only certainties that are a must.

The only one with the benefits are those on top,
Yet the ones on the bottom can so easily flop.
Seems that the rich can't have ideals,
Because the Anarchists say so,
Never occured to them that Corporates,
Mights actually posses a soul.

Stand by to launch, countdown to zero.

I don't understand where superiority comes from,
Rights don't even exist because no one has them,
Seemingly oppressed are the actual suppressors,
Broken men leading all of the blind into sacred grounds,
Yet they've never been there themselves.

Can't seem to get the plan,
That they're not part of it,
Playground antics define world politics,
Children rebel against their masters,
Whose offspring rebel against them,
Capitalism favors the rich, yet Communism silences the artists,
Depotists and Totalitarianism removes all.

No one's a true human any more,
And all morales are subjective,
So everyone's wrong in their own minds,
And everyone else is left in the cold,
Peace comes with attonement yet attonement never comes.
The annointed can't seem to take care of themselves yet take care of others,
The others want no part of this master plan in symbiotic rebelliousness,
A parasite killing it's own host to eliminate it's own resources.

Constantly polled with the message that you're either with us or die,
The Anarchists and Survivalists are loaded with guns ready to kill,
Yet the Coporate Sims already know this so they made Anarchy cool,
Anyone who follows either school of thought it a foolish tool,
Yet holding your own opinion makes you a pawn or a copycat,
Because neither side can actually hold a candle to that.

No one has a solution to real problems facing us, humanity wiping itself out with global warming.
Even though we've had plenty of warning, we still ignore the issues facing us,
I wonder how a secondary race would actually come around to judge us.
We can't even solve our own problems, because we don't even know them, most of them were made by men.
Even with the focus and disciplines coupled with the new resolve of iron skin, we will never truely get to zen.

Machines are the creation of evil,
Yet the saviours of human kind,
They're more expansive then all of humanity's mind.

Humanity's ideals are wrong,
But for some they seem the right,
No one can understand,
That all men are blinded by the light.

Hmm...I like it. It pains an unusually vivid picture even though it's talking about some more abstract ideas and thought-processes. But yeah...definitely one of my favorites in this section. I want to take it and have it spoken over a collaboration of news clips or something. That'd be nice to see.
