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.

Sick of school? Revolt!
Now it's easier to revolt, you just need to tell people what's wrong with school and that this is the SS Revolution. But don't stop there, go crazy. I'm talking about thousands and thousands of flyers everywhere, this is a revolution after all. Go crazy with anti-school information and get others to as well.
Make a youtube video, or go tell someone about this. Just do whatever to let people know that school is flawed, and remember to tell them that a revolution is happening.

Re: Sick of school? Revolt!
If I could get youtube to stop deleting my videos for some made-up copyright bullshit, I'd have a lot more out. But I'll keep trying.
I think Buenaventura Durruti is a pretty cool guy. eh kills fascists and doesnt afraid of ruins.
The quickest way to kill a revolution is to wait for it.

youtube won't let me upload any videos. And yes, I have them in the right format.

Four words in the message and everyone starts talking about youtube ...
As for SS revolution, I still think it's a good, I still have the problem of the not-so-good-looking logo and the fact that "SS", well the SS was Hitler's police (and a lot of people know this, besides neo-nazis seem to love the SS) ...
I know SS stands for Shool Survival but ... couldn't we find something else before we start making flyers?
PS: But on the other hand: AT LAST WE'RE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT ALL (not to say that nothing was done before, but it seems that now we might be able to diffuse our ideas more efficiently).

Yeah...gotta agree with him on this one. Can't go up to people on the street and say "hey, wanna join the SS?"

The website itself doesn't need a new name, but this Revolt movement does.

All the ideas I have are in my avatar.

Re: Sick of school? Revolt!
I don't think it matters much, it might draw more attention because people might google it and look into it to see if it treally is the Schutzstaffel.
I'm personally just sick of sitting around and want to get some publicity for once. So quick think of something lol

That's true, we need something new

Well, I actually do that. Not random people of course but I do spread the word.
