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.

Re: Scavenger Hunt Questions

it seemed as if we can be creative with the items, in terms of not necessarily being what first comes to mind, or not having specifications. how far does this extend?

An anonymous fool asked me if instead of a stack of pancakes, he could have a stack of pancake boxes.

Those are boxes, not pancakes.

....

Now if you were to say make some latka's, those would be potato pancakes.... and would be pancakes

A plastic toy version of pancakes is in fact....pancakes.

....I hope that helps

...and I never said you couldn't.

Re: Scavenger Hunt Questions

wonder who the anonymous fool was... Laugh

also, because of my not liking my face on the internet, and also just the way i was able to take certain pictures, is it ok if i only have my hand in some of them? it can be obvious that its MY hand by the pic i think my "team" has to show, but as long as its enough to make certain this was not a google-found pic (aka: genuine) the whole person doesnt have to be in all of the pics, nu?

Not very straightforward to find in Britain... Can we print it off and cut it out?

Oct 31'st 11:59 what time zone?

I highly suggest Mobb Deep's albums The Infamous and Hell on Earth, if you have not listened to it yet.
