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 Explosion
Have you seen them?
Those kids
Who people call the nerds
The geeks
The losers
The weirdos
The loners
Yeah, you've seen them
They've been bullied
Humiliated
Abandoned
And now they're fed up
Months later, you finally hear them talk
Odd...
You never heard much from them
You're eager
So you listen
But it’s strange
Instead of talking about friends
About Facebook
About girls
They talk about death
Revenge
Destruction
Murder
Chaos
"They can't be serious!"
"They're freaks!"
"They're joking!" You tell yourself
So you scoff it off
You laugh it off
And you go back to your life
And they go back to theirs
Months have passed again
And you haven't heard much from them in awhile
Oh well
They weren't that important anyway
And then you see them
Weird
They're writing things down
Looking at everyone
Smiling an evil smile
Oh well
"They're freaks" You tell yourself
"They need to get a life"
So you go back to your life
And they go back to theirs
Lunchtime
You're with your friends
You're enjoying yourself
Out the window, you spot a figure
Then two
But you can't make them out
They walk closer
You finally know who they are
Its those bullied kids
And they have guns
And then the horrific truth sets in
A shooting's about to begin...
"Go, go go!" One yells out
And they open fire
Blood splattered all over the walls
Kids running for their lives
Screaming
Crying
Chaos
Everyone you once knew is gone in an instant
They walk off
Shooting at anyone they see
Laughing the whole time
This is a game
This is a hunt
And you're the pawns
They spot some kids hiding under a table
So they walk over
Laughing at them
Taunting them
They kneel down
And smile
The kids scream
They cry
They prey
And the gunmen aim
And fire
Their screams end abruptly
They laugh
They smile
Celebrate
They stare at their achievements
Before snapping back in reality
They eventually got bored with shooting.
Everyone's gone
School's in shambles
Police surrounding them
Nothing else to do
And then a strange thing happens
They hug
Hug?
They stand there
Silent
Thinking
"Was this worth it?"
"What have we done?"
Questions that vanish in an instant
They point the guns at themselves
But they hesitate
They're too afraid
Afraid to end their lives
But there's no other option
So they decide to do it
And on three
They fire
Brain matter everywhere
The explosion is over...

Re: The Explosion
Very good... I really like your stuff. Though I do feel sympathetic for your shooters... I don't feel the ends justify the means in these situations. If anything attack those who force you to be there.
Live until you die
