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.

to fresh highschool graduate niggaligs that received a VECTOR letter
This is fer le future peeps that are might receive a letter from the company Vector. Now, this letter seems pretty cool. Summer friggin work enclosed. Yea thats pretty neat bruh. That summer work youre looking forward is a BIG PILE OF DOODOO.
You open that motherfucker up and you see this, customized in the area you livin in.
Basically a friggin scam for the majority of people that get this. There are lots of vids on this and threads discussed. The more you know about their scheme, the more you know they tell lies. They even have people backing them up on videos. Fake testimonials.
The majority of peeps won't buy into this. Because 1. they aint that sociopathic 2. cant afford the knives
oh yeah and these letters are sent out to just American kids, no surprise, fucking business shiet
and if ya wanna know who gave out your info, i would be looking at your counselors...
RE: to fresh highschool graduate niggaligs that received a VECTOR letter
holy fucking shit. Sales...
I want to stab these people. I "worked" one day for a company like this and decided later that day that this is fucking stupid and I all but told them to fuck off.
commision sales = work for us for free (good luck)
if I actually had the time to work for free I would be much better of developing my own actual business not getting scammed by some jew-bags who say "wanna get rich? give us your time/money and see if you can!"
walmart is way better. they do this thing where they pay you

RE: to fresh highschool graduate niggaligs that received a VECTOR letter
if you invest minimum wage you get minimum effort. I work pretty good at my current job because they actually pay me like a man. thats respect, and i reciprocate.
putting in your dues is what actors do by pretending they like some shitty product or appearing in the background before they get noticed. when "putting in your dues" is a policy, they are basically saying "hey new people, did you all remember to bring your anal lube? eventually you wont even feel it anymore, then we'll give you a cookie, but the neosporin isnt free"
if you think thats messed up, I agree, and congratulations, you got the point.

God, unbelievable. It's bad enough that they've got suckers going to work and trying to draw their coworkers into this, going home and trying to get their family and friends into an MLM, but now they're really going all out to target people who don't know any better. Shameful.
