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.

EVE Online

Looked alright, I was curious to see what it was like.
My friend gave me 60 day trial
I just started when I had 54 days left and..
holy fuck the tutorial needs a tutorial.
No wait, I got it now, I hit warp drive and thrusters engaged but my ship never moved, but I think I know now.
Also play customization is really good.

And I don't think you can use offensive language in this game, which sucks..I got a warning from some mod guy. All I said was "holy fuck". I'm so use to the WoW chat which is full of trolling and flaming.

Well I do know what you're on about. This game is fucking confusing. So many shit on my UI and I need a tutorial for the tutorial.

RE: EVE Online

Eve onlines ok but the time needed to get good at it means all the free time you have goes to it and besides the combat is boring as fuck. If X3 had multiplayer that would be bliss.

Not sure about the combat yet, but it's a bitch to learn.
