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.

Theory on Homosexuality
I wondered recently, why it was that there was very little homosexuality hundreds of years ago (not that it never happened, it's just much more now as far as I know) and all of a sudden, homosexuals are popping up all over the place. So, I thought of a theory.
First watch this It really starts at around 2:20 or so. It's not that important though.
The population is growing rapidly. Back then, we were worried about keeping our populations up. Maybe, because of population, some people's very minds are changing, there is no longer the will to keep the population up, and in it's place, the will to lower it. If people turn homosexual, they can't have babies of their own, thus lowering the population so we don't all die.
So, is this plausible, or bullshit?

Re: Theory on Homosexuality
It's plausible, but I'd say it's bullshit. Quite a lot of gays want babies, quite a lot of heterosexuals don't. It's probably not their minds, but nature is telling us to slow it the fuck down. So... Yeah.

Re: Theory on Homosexuality
I kinda meant nature, well, honestly, I have no fucking clue. Basically, just a change in natural instinct is what I was going for. But then again, I don't see why natural instinct doesn't make it so we hate children.
It's not that gays don't want kids, but since it's impossible to conceive a child, they adopt. Thus lowering population.
This whole theory just came to my mind when I realized that there seemed to be a higher percentage of gay people as the population rises.

Re: Theory on Homosexuality
It's not so much that, there are probably a lot more gays in existence, both then and now, that we don't know about. Gays have always been prosecuted.

Re: Theory on Homosexuality
Unfortunately I can't view the video.
Personally I think lets say 200 years ago if somebody was gay they would of been persecuted by all the other people, now to an extent this still does exist.
My point is that we are more open minded now and we accept more things as 'the norm' thus more people come out of the closet or what ever you want to call it.
I wouldn't call your opinion plausible however I wouldn't call it bullshit.
My 2 cents.

Re: Theory on Homosexuality
I agree with above. I think you're just looking in the wrong place, there. Not that there are any more gays, but it's a bit less lethal now to make it known.

Re: Theory on Homosexuality
I agree with AWOL. Apparently Anne Boleyn's brother was homosexual, btu that could have jut been devised as a way for Henry VIII to kill him.

Re: Theory on Homosexuality
They used to burn gays, so I too think it is just a factor of more 'freedom'.
Anything that ever happened or will... one condition, it has to be amazing.

Re: Theory on Homosexuality
That would make sense, I wish it was to help population though. I'd have hope, because no one else is helping.

It wasn't important. Just a little side thing for shock value. It showed how OMFG-like the population has gotten in the past 100 years or so.

Re: Theory on Homosexuality
I don't think there were less gay people in the past, just that they had to hide it or else face persecution. I heard a theory not too long ago (just long enough a at I forgot where I read it) that said in animals, when young offspring are orphaned, gay couples adopt them and that's the reason (well, not reason, but why homosexuality isn't a disadvantage) for gay animals.

There are gay animals? First I've heard of it.

Re: Theory on Homosexuality
Then that definitely changes a lot of things in my theory. So gay animals adopt the ones left behind? That's definitely a good reason for it. I think I understand a bit more.

Re: Theory on Homosexuality
They weren't burned in the middle ages.
Most got stuck into arranged marriages like everyone else. The rest of the cunning bastards went off to infiltrate the Church's Monasteries and Nunneries...Celibacy, right... I think one of the popes was one.
CrayolaColours is right about animals often changing when they overpopulate, aphids for instance, but Humans aren't animals, even from Evolutionists' points of view calling Man an animal is a stretch, Animals don't stockpile nukes.
Gay Animals... Right...

Some animals stockpile what they need - food.

Bullshit.
Do you know how many gays there were back in ancient Greece?
Even the Spartans had butt buddies.
It wasn't even a big deal back then, either.
Hell, if I'm not correct, Alexander had a gay lover, too.

There's one animal that does, humans. We are animals, we are part of the ecosystem.

Animals are in the group of heterotrophs and eukaryotes with the fact they are lacking cell walls in the scientific view. Based on researches to see whether humans display these features of those group, it do turn out that it has been scientifically proven that humans are physically are animals when defined by whether they fit all of the group above. Animals cannot stockpile nukes for the fact that they don't have oppositional thumbs.
ZZZ...
