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.

2 more years!

They're planning to add two more years in high school for us. What the fuck. What the FUCK! Two more fucking years! I'm pray to God I won't be included along with the kids who have to take two more years! People keep preachin about democracy but students don't get a say in anything. The government will just do whatever the hell they want without our consent. Two more years of dumbing us down. Enough is enough. Even though I wouldn't one of the unfortunate ones to take those extra years I wouldn't wish it on them. I wish I could gather up people with to do some sort of a protest.

RE: 2 more years!

Where is this happening? I think in the UK they made sixth form compulsory so you have to be in schooling until 18 in around 2008 or so. But if they're now making people in the UK stay until 20 I'll sit back and watch the unions storm out to Westminster on TV... if they can be bothered to do something about the increasing length of school.

EDIT: Oh it's in the Phillipines. Sorry, my bad.

RE: 2 more years!

Why would they increase the length of school in the Phillipines? That country is fairly unstable, and they haven't got a lot of money to spend on education, so why are they doing that?

RE: 2 more years!

Maybe they think
More School = More Education = Country more stable in the future
?

It would be a suitable explanation...

I don't think that they will be able to stabilise the country with algebra.

Exactly! I believe they're trying to go with America's system. Because we don't have middle school. Straight to high school after sixth grade and now they're adding two more years. But it's stupid. We're a third world country. A lot of kids won't be able to graduate because of more tuition fees to pay from extra years.

It's school, so it brings the kids to learn things, and if they know things the country will be stable. Now shut up and get the fuck out!

Well, they have their own logic..
