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.

Getting a detention tomorrow...
... for all of the days I skipped school. They gave me a few days but my mom won't write a note so they're going to give me a detention.
For Prince Rillian, I will laugh at them for giving me a detention.
Also tell them it's counter-productive since it will just promote me hating school more since it's a stupid fucking reason to punish me.
Probably going to go like this...
"Wait, why do you hate school?"
"It takes away my rights and I don't feel like I'm truly being educated in this (Hmm should I curse? Yeah.) shithole."
"You can't say that in th--"
"1ST AMENDMENT RIGHT!"
"Well, you are being educated at least."
"Maybe I am, but can you look around and tell me how many others there are? Can you listen to all of these teenage girls' conversations? Does it sound educated to you? A bunch of 'Ohh I know riiight!?'s and 'Ugghhhh I hate school it's just so boring!' Does it sound educated to you AT ALL?"
*shitstorm of self-entitled knowledge incoming*
Then me after they're done with their speech:

Not sure if you do any of the shit you say you do...no offense or anything, since I don't know you
But if you actually do that, you will get a third balls of steel award.

That really is true. Any people I talk to that hate school with more reasons than "It's boring" aren't willing to do anything about it. They're scared of the system.

RE: Getting a detention tomorrow...
It's been 2 days, I still haven't gotten a note in, and I still haven't gotten a detention. Stupid administration can't keep track of me. That or detention was a scare tactic to get me to turn in a note.

If you ever get to do this, please record (with a mini-tape voice recorder from STaples or Radio Shack or something) for archival/awesome purposes.

RE: Getting a detention tomorrow...
Well good for you. Don't just skip it, stand up like you want to. I mean it, I think you'll benefit a lot more from the latter. I don't care if you tape it, just get the message across to them. Don't let them win. And remember don't get to sobbing or shouting or anything. Don't let the boat sink. Above all. I did a similar thing, and I was ranting for about a straight hour. Good luck!

Lol, I was supposed to get a 6 am detention for the whole after lunch shitstorm.
Never did, don't know why.

Lol, I have to go to a detention for two hours tomorrow. The reason? I missed a class because I was puking from my stomach flu in the washroom. I told my teacher where I was, but was given a detention for "taking to long". I would've puked in that classroom, and all the rats that we were dissecting certainly wasn't helping my stomach.

Oppression...
Next time your teacher walks in after the bell, ask them where they were, why they went, why it took them so long, and that they could get a detention for being late again. If they say it's none of your business [because you're just a student] and you don't have the authority to give them a detention [inb4], tell them the definition of Oppression and request for them to not give you a detention for being late.
