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 Let's Say Game
I'm not usually one for creating forum games, but I'm in a gaming mood.
The object of this game is to make a let's say statement and then ask a hypothetical question tied to that statement. The next person will answer the question with their guess, and then make a statement and question of their own. The person after that will answer, make an S&Q, and so on.
Example:
Person A: Let's say I have two heads. How would you react if I came to your piano recital?
Person B: I would probably scream and run away. Let's say you're about to split the world into two near-equal halves. Which parts of the world would you separate?
Person A (or C): I would split it along the equator. *makes Let's Say statement, asks question, game continues*
Let's begin:
Let's say you bring a bar of soap to your school to liken it to prison.
If you were to drop the soap, approximately how many students do you think would attempt to assault/defile you?

None, because I'd use the soap as the lubricant to defile them.
Let's say you were to wear a white robe and mask.
If you were to drive through Camden/Newark blasting country music dressed like, how long do you think you'd live?
(I really have no creative idea to ask here,yet)

The Let's Say Game
I have no idea where that is, but my guess based on the question is "about ten seconds."
Let's say you had a single-use antimatter gun. Who/what would you shoot with it?
Hello, traveler.
This is an ancient account I have not used in a long time. My views have changed much in the intervening months and years.
Nonetheless, I refuse to clean it up. Pretending that I've held my current views since the beginning of time is what we in the industry call a lie. Asking people to do so contributes to moralistic self-loathing. "See, those people have nothing damning! I do! I'm truly vile!"
Because you can never be a good person with a single blemish on the moral record, I thought that simply entertaining some thoughts made me irredeemable. Though I don't care for his writing style, William Faulkner presents a good counterexample. He went from being a typical Southern racist to supporting the civil rights movement. These days we'd yell at him for that, probably.
People are allowed to change their views.
Nevertheless, this period of my life has informed some of how I am today. In good ways and bad ways. To purge it would be to do a disservice to history. Perhaps it will not make anyone sympathetic, but it may help someone understand.
If, after reading all this, you still decide to use the post above as evidence that I am evil today, ask yourself if you have never disagreed with the moral code you now follow. In all likelihood you did, at some point. If some questions are verboten, and the answer is "how dare you ask that," don't expect your ideological opponents to ever change their minds.

I'd keep it for intimidation...or fire it at a tax collector if ever I were to be threatened by one. Or Justin Bieber.
Let's say you had a portal that could be used to go from our universe to a fictitious one as often as you desire, but can only lock on to one fictitious universe. Which one would you set it to?

An anime universe.
Let's say you had to watch a stupid children's show and couldn't change the channel. You had to watch it all day. What show would it be?

Blues Clues for the win.
Let's say you were stuck in some primitive village in the middle of nowhere and they offered you two choices of food. Which would you eat? Raw goat balls or Raw ants?

Raw goat balls
Would you rather make out with George Bush for an hour or lose vision for an entire year?

This is the Let's Say Game - Would You Rather is a different thing altogether.
I'd forcefully make out with George Bush for three seconds, so forcefully that he loses his vision for some period of time between one hour and an entire year. (Third options ftw).
Let's say you have the ability to walk through walls. Would you ever use it to sneak out of the house?

No. I'd use the door because I can use the door.
Let's say you find a device that will give you a whole days worth of X-ray vision(no turning it off), would you use it?
(Am I doing this right?)

Uh yeah
Let's say you could trade your life for that of a cute puppy about to be adopted into a good home. Would you make the switch?

No. They'd probably neuter me sooner or later.
Let's say a mysterious stranger gives you a lottery ticket, which he claims will win the 300 million dollar jackpot, in return for spending the time till you win the jackpot naked, which is about two weeks(and naked all the time. But you can wear socks if you'd like  ) would you do it?

Heck no. Even if the money's real, it ain't worth that.
Let's say you're given a green crayon. What would be the first thing you'd do with it?

Wonder what the hell I'm supposed to do with a green crayon.
Let's say your at home and the mailman brings a delivery, to which your parents/roommates/girlfriend/wife open the door. The mailman then hands over a bunch of porn magazines of the "weird fetish" type to the person who answers the door with the magazines supposedly to your name(they made a mistake with the name) along with a note congratulating you on your 10-year subscription. What would you do at that point?(assuming the people who answered the door thought of you differently)

I'd say, "Problem, assholes?", take the enormous stack of free porn, and leave them with their mouths agape.
Let's say some television network executive makes you the star of a cooking show despite your (apparent) lack of skill. How would you do it?

I would ask for advice and watch other cooking shows.
Let's say you get to win one million dollars. But there's a catch. You have to embarrass yourself in ront of the whole world. Would you do it?

Yes yes yes
Let's say a beautiful tree was growing over your house but the branches posed a threat because you live in hurricane country. Would you cut it down?

No I would move away.
Let's say your best friend's birthday party is tomorrow. You entered a contest to see your favorite celebrity. You just found out you won. The only problem is it's on the same day as your best friend's birthday party and it's the only time s/he is available. Would you go to the party or see the celebrity?

See the celebrity. I see my friend everyday, I don't see a celebrity everyday.
Let's say you find a time machine that lets you travel to one point in time(and lets you keep your knowledge and age). Which period of time would you go back to?(But it's a one-way trip)
