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.

In your 5 mins
If you had 5 mins in which the whole world would listen to you, believe everything you said, live by it and do exactly as you said what would you say?

COMMUNISM is when you have two cows, the governement takes both and gives you the milk
SOCIALISM is when you have two cows and give one to your neighbour.
NEW DEALISM (is when things go wrong) is when you have two cows, the government takes both, shoots one and milks the other but then throws the milk away.
CAPITALISM is when you have two cows and then sell one to buy a bull.
FACISM is when you have two cows, the government takes both and sells you the milk.
NAZISM is when you have two cows, the government takes both and shoots you.

Re: In your 5 mins
Think for yourself, never blindly believe anything anyone says, question everything, figure out what you really really love, and give it the highest priority in your life. And always be honest with yourself.
Though if it was guaranteed they'd believe everything I say, then I just contradicted myself.

OK then, I'll rephrase it slightly...
Think for yourself, never blindly believe anything anyone ( except me!) says, question everything, figure out what you really really love, and give it the highest priority in your life. And always be honest with yourself.

Re: In your 5 mins
Guns are good.
Religion is bad.
Don't be a dick.
Celebrity worship is fucking stupid.
The god is a lie.
I'm the sexiest man alive.
Giving the government to much power is very dangerous.
Yadda yadda yadda.

Re: In your 5 mins
If the world listened?
"The world doesn't need better rules or better leaders. It just needs a better influence. Make it your goal in life to be that better influence."
If the world listened and was obligated to follow orders?
"Pick someone you have unresolved conflict with. Approach them and apologize. Resolve that conflict before you sleep tonight."

I really have to think more about this, but I for damn sure would be putting that in.
I highly suggest Mobb Deep's albums The Infamous and Hell on Earth, if you have not listened to it yet.

Re: In your 5 mins
lol or do the ultimate 'evil.'
"Everything I say is true."
Nothing like having the whole world as slaves.
Oh I'll explain how that works a little... Say you want some money off someone. You say "You are going to give me $100." They have to do it, since if they didn't you'd be wrong, and they believe 100% you were right, so what you said now must be true....Eh just assume it works 
You could do some funny stuff with this...Tell a guy he is a girl...

I would say this:
Grab your own balls or other private area, dance around, and never kill another person.
Ever.
And Aliens are real. So are elves.

Re: In your 5 mins
Also, since there is a lot of time to talk in five minutes, I would probably add stuff like:
Bathe regularly.
Genetically Modified crops aren't bad for you.
Read more books, but not the Communist Manifesto.
Watch the Colbert Report every day.
Do the chicken dance!
All hot ladies are, from this point on, my wives.
The bugs are edible.
Save the rain forest.
A Martian colony can be achieved in the near future.
Use Linux.
Hugs are now a form of money.
I think that could all be said in five minutes.
Oh wait, one more thing:
Everyone should edit the page about John McCain on Wikipedia to where it says he is a million-zillion years old.
