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.

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.

"proof or stfu" is not only NOT a strong argument, but also a complete ad hominem. The burden of proof is on those who ASSERT a claim (i.e. YOU) NOT the ones who deny it..
You have no proof? Well then I have no reason to believe you.
What if I told you there was an invisible pink unicorn who watches over us, would you be inclined to believe it because it COULDN'T be disproven?
Also, HoS wins for posting that. Nice use of logic.

Christianity in a nutshell: Believe in an invisible man in the sky, and if you listen to him and his 10 rules you get to go to heaven, the most wonderful place imaginable. However, if you don't listen to him, you get sent to a place called Hell to burn and suffer for eternity, but he still loves you!

Please don't go to far into detail about your sexytime with Sociopath. I don't think its erotic at all, rather disgusting. Btw, Bear Grylls might want to join.

Check your dad's thread and the thread "Should I leave?". I'm not going to argue with anybody, especially you, since I feel sorry for you. (you were beaten after all)

No he hasn't. You've just ignored the evidence that he (and many of us) provided and now you're using this "I'm leaving SS, I'm done arguing" thing to make it sound like you "won."
How about you just let me sit here outside the gates forever? I don't get whatever "bliss" is inside heaven, but no "suffering" either. Or how about just let me be alive again. Or hey i know... let me into heaven since I believe now that I see it. Duh.

Don't cite that hateful book. We all know that the Old Testament was written by idiots. The New Testament is much better, but still... and when these books (the religious ones) come in the hands of greedy, degenerated "priests", everything is double worse.

Calm down, citing the bible can be good at times. It can also be funny, like now.

Oh, I love the bible! Especially "Leviticus" - it tells me who I have to stone ... and then to stone myself! It's a perfect legitimation to kill my teachers! [/sarcasm]
The New Testament? Nah. It comes to mind every religion thinks its the perfect one - and yet, they behave like it is the only one. (Well, while they are not killing each other over it that is).
