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.

RE: i am terrified
Don't be afraid to see a doctor. You don't have to explain every detail to your parents. Just say, "My penis hurts" and then we you see a doctor just say that you'd like to speak with him privately and then just tell him the truth.
Penises can be unpredictable. Occasionally little bumps might pop up that mean nothing. Skin is like that.
Regarding your foreskin being longer it might just be your nerves causing your blood vessels to constrict a little causing your penis to constrict making your foreskin seem longer.
Whenever you're worried about any part of your body the best person to ask is your doctor. Checking online or even looking for advice online is dubious at best. That said, I think from what you're describing, unless things get worse or persist for a week or so you're probably cool waiting and not worrying too much.
Too much of anything can be a negative but masturbation is about as safe and healthy as it gets. Your story concerns me about as much as it would if you said you ate your broccoli too quickly.
If you want to be a different fish, you've got to jump out of the school.

how does circumcision suck? A pretty decent chunk of the world has it...and they're not dying from bleeding or some sort of crazy disease or suffering any disability.
Unlike those nonsensical anti-circumcision sites that blabber on about how evil it, how it causes death and disability, and how it's just stupid. Then they use stats from tribal African circumcisions. Obviously a very good sample population.
A)If so many people can be circumcised with no negative consequence it's obviously not inherently evil.
B)All medical surgical procedures come with a degree of failure.
C)Uncircumcised people have their own issues to deal with since they aren't circumcised.
Tattoos are useless and dangerous. Nobody bitching about them eh?

Yes, but you aren't forced to get a tattoo the instant you're expulsed from your mothers uterus now, are you?

It would be considered unethical and fucked up to get your baby tattooed.
The main problem with circumcision is that it's performed on infants who can't consent to to procedure. Honestly, my circumcision doesn't really bother me, but I'd rather have had the choice later in life.

RE: i am terrified
Stfu n get tattood + circumcised!
As far as I know, In Turkey they generally wait till like primary school age. If kid freaks like crazy, its generally postponed. Course the king treatment kids get when its time for circumcision probably offsets enough fear. Its basically a celebration/rite of passage so you got gifts, money, party etc.
Still just cuz you dislike it being done to babies, which Id agree is quire questionable, its a bit foolish to go batshit over circumcision like some folk do especially when they foam at the mouth at this inhumane flesh mutilation. Its not like every instance lead to death or disability. Plus what realistic practical arguements exist for having or not having foreskin beyond "its surgery". Every other arguement is circumstantial since mits not like every circumcised person is suffering from described issues.
Biggest arguments Ive seen revolve specifically around babies (so does it apply during either midchildhood to preteen, or even puberty n beyond) and the greatest point ever made "You wouldnt do it to your daughter".
Dont waste time arguing against male circumcision. The logical thing would be arguing for safer circumcision (or circumcision education for parents before they make the decision). Otherwise you sound like those anti-abortion, anti-sex, anti-drug psychos.

Circumcision has no benefits that is why, my friends who aren't circumcised say "How do you clean your dick" and im like "Wait.....you are telling me you have never cleaned under your foreskin.....jesus christ" Being uncut means you get better feelings because that is where the nerve endings are and you really are not any more unclean, simply pull your foreskin down, clean your self. Your done!
my penis is almost completely better, i was so scared though, jeez

I'm against all circumcision of kids who aren't old enough to consent. Nobody thinks that adults shouldn't be able to get circumcised, voluntarily. Pre-teen circumcision is a bit iffy too, imho. Does a nine year old really have enough agency to decide to get a surgery that is (essentially) cosmetic?
I also love your critique of the tone of some anti-circumcision folks, instead of addressing arguments.

RE: i am terrified
Plz as if Id bother with arguments. Pplz choice. Some kids circumcision doesnt affect ur life. Addressing arguements would just legitimize anti-circumcision wackos.
Also why I insult most anti-abortion people. They say dont feed the trolls ya know.

If a conversation that becomes a discussion that turns into a debate strikes the point of argument...it's quite obviously a stalemate going nowhere.

RE: i am terrified
This has turned from the OP freaking out over something insigficicant to a battle about if you should get some skin on your penis cut off.

If we had firearms or swords itd be more significant. Unfortunately u cant really even organize a fight these days without the cops breaking it up (only in exceptional circumstances in specific areas).
