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.

2 tales of bullshit

This happened at my school. One of my friends recently got in trouble for wearing clothes with the hatchetman symbol(logo for psychopathic records[look it up if you want to know what it looks like]). He has worn shirts with this on it al most all year, and now his teacher gets mad at him? I've seen tons of people at my school where the same stuff and nothing happens to them. What the fuck?

This one at my brother's school. At my brother's school they have a 10 minute break sometime during the day where they can talk buy snacks and stuff, but they can't anymore for the rest of the school year. Here's why: Two girls were cursing each other out at lunch. Don't tall me that's not bullshit. Especially considering two boys in the same grade got arrested at school for having pot. So apperently two guys getting arrested for pot is not as bad as two people cursing each other out? I'm confused.

My mom e-mailed my brother's school about this.

The game...you lost! HAHAHAHA!!!!

Re: 2 tales of bullshit

What do you expect? It's school. It's inherently bullshit. I got a detention for cutting a study hall that I didn't cut...dozens of kids cut study hall all the time by signing in and then just leaving, with the teacher not giving a flying shit. I forget to sign in once in 2 years...and...detention..yay....or should I say...gay!

Yea dude...the f-word is SOOOOOOOOO bad!!! I mean there's kids shootin' up and droppin acid in the bathrooms at my school...but saying 'fuck' is SO much worse dude...all it is is a statement of expression....

YAY FOR SCHOOL!!! Upyours Fu Ranting

Why'd I have to go and get myself decapitated?
This really is a major inconvenience, oh man I really hate it.
