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.

You should eat a grilled cheese with peppers :3
I mostly listen to coldplay and onerepublic.
My hobbies are drawing (I drew my profile picture), playing video games, playing the piano, eating, sleeping, and daydreaming
You might not want to date me, unless you're okay with dating a total wierdo xD

I like to say I'm changing the world, one grilled cheese at a time.
Lately I've been playing Killzone Shadow Fall and Assassin's Creed 4
I play Black Ops 2 as well, not too often. Usually just to play with my friends c:
Every once in a while I might play a little Skyrim as well :3
How about you?

I wouldn't say I like school, but I don't completely dislike it either. I think I would be pretty bored having nothing to do everday, and I like seeing the other kids in my grade even though I dont realy talk to them. Of course I also think it's important to get an education so you can get a job later on in life.
There's nothing I'd really change about school. Maybe have it start an hour later, because who doesn't love extra sleep? Or no gym, because I'm about as athletic as a potato...

Wow this is the most compliments I've ever received in my whole life xD
Oh and I totally get how you feel about the feet thing. My mom always told me if they seem too good to be true, they probably don't have feet.

I've been wanting to play sims again lately. I haven't played it in so long, but when I looked for the disc I couldn't find it. It'll probably turn up eventually, though.
I remember I used to play zoo tycoon all the time when I was younger c:

Hello!
I'm a lurker and one of the mods. Welcome. I restarted and Co-run GoSS(Geography of SS). Also I program a little(mainly java, know some Lua to though), I also have my own IRC bot, Zatch! (Source located here: https://github.com/Sapein/ZatchBot). I also enjoy dicking around in Vim. Also I'm a bit of a tech-guy, but I don't do much unlike Dr. Jim here(does anyone get the reference) I also enjoy server administration, sever creation, and Computer Networking.
Pretty Much my only signature...I'm mainly a lurker....you can find me on the IRC (or on DnE and their IRC).

"free speech under the constitution only guarantees the government won't stop him saying it and does not guarantee his right to say things and have no consequences at all as a result. also i completely doubt that he is motivated solely by "i'm saying it because i can" and is probably motivated by a more shitheady motive like "i think it's funny to annoy people and Rustle Le Jimmies™ and is just hiding behind the first amendment to try to deflect any consequences or make you realize that being allowed to annoy people is a superior moral right. you can still disdain someone for doing things for dumbarse wankery purposes and you have evne more right to ban and insult them for it" ~Trar's friend about Potato.
Thanks for the diploma… can I have my childhood back?
