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.

Mine used to be shoulder length. Got it cut and now the longest parts just reach the bottomish part of my neck. Fringe is currently red and have a blonde back. Soon to go neon blue (purpleish colour), dark blue and black.

Mine is probably the longest for a male in here at the moment lololol. Few inches below my shoulders. I shouldn't let my mother trim it anymore, it was longer... it's about a foot from the scalp on average.

Short hair here. It used to be long until I discovered it's not really in style at all for 20something year olds. Clean cut/clean shaven/straight & narrow is the fashion right now it seems.

I used to think like this, until I realized the practicality of your appearance. Everyone judges you by how you look. In this very thread, absentinsomniac said the above guy looks like a fag. EVERYONE immediately makes all kinds of judgments about you based on your appearance, when I finally accepted that, I started changing how I looked.

P.S. I think he looks OK. That's pretty much the style right now, especially for guys with his skin tone.

RE: Long Haired Dude Guild Of SS

^ I don't really think he's gay, I just think he looks like a punk pussy bitch ass mother fucker. I based my judgment on the following:

1.) He has jewelry. An earing/stud/whatever and a necklace. Shit pisses me off. Not sure why anyone would want to stick random shit through them, then wear a heavy piece of expensive metal on themselves... To each their own, that's just me being judgmental.

2.) He has makeup on lol.

3.) He's probably a model.

4.) His skin looks slightly photoshoped.

5.) His clothing indicates that he is NOT someone in the general public.

Overall, I think he's a very trite, fake individual who doesn't really exist. He's a depiction of the perfect person. In real life, he probably doesn't look like that when he goes out to eat. He probably isn't happy all the time. He probably isn't a jovial happy dude who doesn't have any vices who lives in the fast lane. He's probably a person who's a struggling up and coming model doing shit pictures for shit websites and magazines. (Or perhaps he made it big and is a celebrity or makes big bucks taking the same damn pictures in more notorious magazines.) Either way, this shit is fake, and I don't have respect for the image he is conveying.

The image he's conveying is a mid-twenties text book popular guy who's happy with this life, gets bitches, and is doing well. It's a media controlled world, and this is what they want you to look like. This is what they want you to spend money TRYING to look like. This is what they want everyone to want you to look like.

Eh, I'd rather just not give a fuck and do what I want. I shave my head because it's easier than not shaving my head. Not because everyone expects me to, and certainly not so I can look like the douche cake everyone else WANTS looks like.

Like absent, I can almost sense who a person is just by looking at someone. I can usually imply many things about someone just by looking at them. Just something I learned over the years.

Also, med-long hair master race. I'm actually going to start the black metal band 4 realz really soon, so I ain't cutting my hair any time soon. INB4 my parents try to make me cut it.

BTW: Is there any way to make my hair not poof out so much? And not washing it feels kinda nasty and isn't an option for me.

TOO BAD

Maybe use shittons of conditioner or oil. Maybe just put olive oir in your hair.

Yes, I think so pretty much. It's weird though, like, I don't necessarily think that look in itself is bad, even the jewelry and the make up, it's the fact that it was produced by tv/pop culture which has made that look 'trite' and 'fake'. It's the motive behind the image, not the image itself, that makes it so shitty.

People who pass judgment of any kind secretly judge themselves. Yeah, not a big secret, probably, but then it makes so much sense not to just absorb unhealthy shit like that.

Not that we don't all judge ourselves in some way, it's just that being aware of that tends to help in the long run.

Eh, I know quite a few guys that pull off long-ish hair pretty well. Approximately none of them are straight, but they do look good.

I guess the thing is though that the hairstyles most guys can get away with are like well past the shoulder to mid-back and just cut straight across (if they have nice hair) or more like chin length in a trendy cut. Shoulder-length can tend to look like a girls haircut for some reason.

RE: Long Haired Dude Guild Of SS

I met a doctor guy with long greyish hair at UCLA, there's a few long-haired scientists too... who cares lol.
I'd only cut my hair if I applied to a metric fuckton of jobs and none of them accepted me due to having long hair, which would piss me the fuck off but I'd still do it.

Your hair might be extremely thick like mine. I'm half asian and asians are known for super thick hair, while white trash tends to bald lolol. It won't poof out if you grow it enough, but while it's still medium length or something, you can possibly get it thinned, ask your hair stylist. I always get mine thinned on the sides and the back so that my hair doesn't look like the cap of a mushroom or something.
