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.

Videos that Make Your Blood Boil

Let's all get into a collective rage together, sharing videos and other shit of common stupidly and ignorance and such.

I'll start with something that hits home.

I saw that video before and as a lover of Wicca and paganism in particular it did anger me.

RE: Videos that Make Your Blood Boil

You know what? That video on child predators could have been interesting, if the experiment was actually set up properly. It should have been a lesson in what to do and what not to do, not a shame session. Even just changing it so that the parents were watching from a distance instead of being there would have made it better.

The poor scared puppy...

RE: Videos that Make Your Blood Boil

Remember kids, EVERYBODY on the internet is evil because a few are. Just drink whatever kool-aid is provided by your hometown because people you know in real life are always angels for some reason.
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.

RE: Videos that Make Your Blood Boil

The way this host tries to undermine Jeffrey Nadel's arguments with little references to his age always fires me up:



Watch on YouTube

The next one does annoy me, but it's exceedingly well-made. Forget the message; there's something moving about the music, pacing, and color:



Watch on YouTube

This is the most infuriating video I have ever watched. Full stop. I think I came upon it somewhere on these forums. Fundamentally, it employs the argument for school as a means of developing resilience: "Life will be painful, so we must expose you to pain now." It's hard to pick a worst aspect of this video. I take issue with everything in the speaker's manner, logic, and attitude of victimization. Maybe you'll see what I mean:



Watch on YouTube

The next one needs no explanation:



Watch on YouTube

Honorable mentions include the episode of Wife Swap involving Dayna Martin and the ABC segment on unschooling.
