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.

For the dependency upon false promises and leaders to lessen the pains of our society; it is they themselves who create it. How foolish of you and your ilk to believe the next president will be the second coming of jesus christ himself, when experience shows us the system is broken beyond any possibility of repair.

So why can't he be a perfect candidate now?
Look, I like Ron Paul, but he's just not the right candidate in this barbaric state of humanity which needs some barbaric leaders in power to make the world go around until humanity evolves into a different stance where people are actually less instinctual.
ZZZ...

So who would you RATHER have for president?? Mittens, or O-BOMB-A?? I'll still vote for Ron any day over Hitler 2.0. I do NOT want two evils left when the REAL DEAL comes around November this year. Also ask Soulriser who he'd vote for.

*she'd
O-BOMB-A? Seriously?
Ron Paul is the least ignorant and evil of all the candidates but he's still an idiot who lacks proper understanding of the economy and believes in the church. I would rather vote for him than any other candidate, but I'd rather have an intelligent person who lives in the 21st century than Ron Paul.

There's no patriarchy, there's also no feminist conspiracy to destroy the rightz of meinz. You're not special if you're a feminist, and you're not special if you are an anti-feminist. Women aren't oppressed, neither are men. Both groups have advantages over each other.

Of course I know Ron Paul won't damn well fix everything, but the thing about Paul is that he knows that he can't fix everything. That's why there's this little thing called freedom that Dr. Paul supports, and freedom will allow all of us to fix our own lives.
And yes, the system is broken. Beyond repair? I wouldn't go that far, but you may be right. That doesn't mean electing the right person to office won't be a step in the right direction.
The thing I like about Ron Paul isn't who he is. Paul isn't charismatic, he has the personality of someone straight out of an Asperger's conference. Paul has real ideas, and that's what I'll really be voting for when I vote for him. The idea of freedom, not the man Ron Paul.

Oh sure, except for the radical notion that perhaps he might abolish gay marriage and make sex between gays illegal and possibly punishable by law. Is that freedom? What about taking off the quack miranda warning? Bullshit pseudoscientific alternative 'medicine' incoming.

I'm just saying they all suck.
