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.
Rebelnerd Wrote:Wow, I wasn't trying to be sexist at all but if you want to see it that way, whatever... It just seems to me like she's going through hell with her family and got pissed at us about it. It's irrational but it's not like only women do that.
It's more or less just a joke, we all know that women aren't inferior. Some incidents make me wonder though.
We all know men act like stupid children with their pride.
My uncle almost froze to death in a house with no electricity during winter because his pride made him not want to call somebody to ask him he could room with them for the night.
Eh, it just didn't really seem like the right time to start joking about shit. She was a good member and I'd really prefer not to see her leave.
I think Buenaventura Durruti is a pretty cool guy. eh kills fascists and doesnt afraid of ruins. The quickest way to kill a revolution is to wait for it.
Absentinsomniac Wrote:^ At least you had the balls to say it. I'm sure you and I aren't the only members of this forum who don't understand random fits like this.
I have a sister. Enough said.
I'm the youngest of 5 sisters an none of us act like that. You don't need to be a woman to be a whinny selfish bitch.

That was almost a sentence. Good job.
Anyway, I sent her a PM 2 or 3 days ago and she hasn't answered, so I'm guessing she's gone.
Im so glad you're are such a good english teacher, if I wanted to type grammatically correct, then I would. Sorry.

Apparently you tried.
I missed the "re" on you're sorry im just too lazy to type in proper english on the internet during my study hall too busy doing stuff i give 2 flying fucks about =D
I know I'm putting a target on myself but I want to remember Crayola just in case she never comes back and I got an image that symbolizes the moment and event in where she left us.
If it's not too late, I'd like to add that I second what Absent/Rebelnerd/Leon/probably a few more people said. Over the internet, we really can only do so much. And expecting people to know exactly when your family and shit is going downhill is like walking up to a person you met the other day and chewing them out because "they didn't notice it was your birthday". I mean, yeah they could have remembered, but can you really blame them for not doing so? I mean shit, you just met them and told them about it yesterday.

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.

Max Stirnir Wrote:"In the time of spirits thoughts grew till they overtopped my head, whose offspring they yet were; they hovered about me and convulsed me like fever-phantasies -- an awful power. 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

I really hope she comes back now. Just so she can see that and get pissed off again.
So crayola is finaly gone? Good, now we can move on to multi colored pens, crayons are so kindergarden.
Whilst some work diligently there are those who ask why. I am one of them

This has been a test of the emergency pointless argument system. Had this been a real pointless argument, someone would have been called a facist.
