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.

I'm just curious, how many of you New Vegas fags killed Mr. House? I didn't kill him, I hate having to kill him to content tour too. It just bothers me, Mr. Houses plans are obviously the best for humanity in the long run.
House is a realist who is honest and open about his plans and motivations and he isn't passing himself off as some tool for the people like other politicians.
The NCR are just another bureaucratic imperial army that only cares for spreading its influence through bullying and force while hiding behind the veil they call democracy(aka America).
The Legion got shafted pretty bad as beth still does that idiotic good versus evil mentality and we barely got to see the good things they do.
Now like I said house isn't perfect as he wants to wage control with a robot army but the thing is he only wants the strip and unlike the NCR he isn't trying to rule the world.
I would go independent but if I had a gun to my head and was forced to side with somebody it would be House but all of the groups for all their plans are destined to fail as it fits with the war never changes mythos.
Personally, I advocate Independence and Freedom, so I chose to kill Mr. House to lead New Vegas into Anarchy, and I must say, It worked out pretty well. 'Autocrat' is just another word for 'Dictator'. And if it wasn't technically "Anarchy" that just means I would've taken over the strip by myself. That din't happen, I let everyone be free. But if I DID basically just take it over by force, I trust my judgment over all others'. Now, I know you may ask "How do you know what you're doing is right?" Well, I DON'T! Opinions are controversial, and since everyone's is different, who knows WHAT to believe? Its better for you to trust your judgment over another's, because YOU know exactly what YOU want; You don't know what others want. Basically, to each their own, is what I'm trying to say.
Also, I'm with HoS on NCR being basically America in its true form. Bastards.

TRIGGER WARNING: THIS TRIGGER WARNING CONTAINS TRIGGER WARNINGS!
Dear Tumblrites:Despite your wrongly self-diagnosedPTSD, no line ofscientific evidencesuggests people can be triggered over theinternet. Triggering works through thesenses(i.e. smell, taste, touch, vision, hearing.) but it goes throughreal time; if you're not experiencing it in real life as it'sACTUALLY HAPPENINGin yourACTUALlife, youCANNOTbe triggered. The only exception to this is if you have aseizure, but then again, that's triggered byepilepsy(i.e. rapidly-changing flashing lights)NOT PTSD. Remembering a bad incident is NOT the same thing as having aflashback. When you remember, youthink; when youflashback,youfeel.

The thoughts had become corporeal on their own account, were ghosts, e. g. God, Emperor, Pope, Fatherland, etc. If I destroy their corporeity, then I take them back into mine, and say: "I alone am corporeal." And now I take the world as what it is to me, as mine, as my property; I refer all to myself."The Ego and Its Own, pg. 15

Wanted to kill that fucker the second I met him. No way Im letting some creepy dictator run new vegas under the upgraded power of those robots. I burned the mother fucker sitting in his sad little pod with my incinerator.
Also, Killing mr. house is the only way to "kill" victor, (After you kill him he should appear deactivated outside of his shack in goodsprings.) And I hated victor because he was a stalker.
I pretty much hate all robots except mister gusty's
