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.

The Eternal Being - A poem

I'm new, and well, just wanted to share this poem i wrote with you all.

Poem - The Eternal Being

The Eternal Being,
Once the mightiest of all,
Now the fallen one;
Down from hell he came,
To reclaim what he craved.

But no one looked once at him.
'I am an immortal', said he.
No affection did the people show.

The Eternal Being,
Devoid of any human feeling,
Filled with ruthless wrath,
massacred every living thing.

All those who were only maimed,
lived in cages of brass and steel,
asking for mercy, in Death.

The Eternal Being,
Once the mightiest of all,
humble and great,
had succumbed to darkness.

The God up there, saw it all,
Put a silence to his lips,
not for so much long.
He took away his power, his soul.

The Eternal Being,
once the mightiest of all,
became weak like a cub's roar.

Wrath and hatred in his veins,
the fallen being entered His humble abode, Heaven.
Took out his precious sword,
wanting to avenge, whom he thought his demons.

God He was, and God He will forever be.
He could not strike one blow to Him.
Instead, the blade of the coldless sword struck himself,
straight in his merciless heart,
making a pool of red blood tears.

And thus, one woeful poetry this became,
the Eternal Being,
once the mightiest of all,
now slept in pain.
