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.

How stupid can you get??
Today was the result day...and, (as usual) in direct contradiction to their own statement that we should "behave like adults" they had called the parents to take them.
Point: If you want me to behave like an adult, why the hell don't you treat me like one??
I had tried to tell my mothet the exact details of the meeting, but in classic momster fashion she told me that she knew everything. I'm not her PA; why the fuck would i remind her of anything if she said she knew it before?? When i asked her this she blew up at me, saying that it was my "responsibility" to remind her. It's honestly laughable that people are expecting me to put in hours of work every fucking day, wasting my life on worthless projects and assignments without any motivating factor-such as money and some respect as a person. As it is I'd rather waste my life on my own terms.
Issue no. 2 is about me ditching 3 days of school and around a month of tution classes. I couldn't tell momster that i needed a break from seeing her or the teachers' mugs every fucking day; she would have forced me to drop out. The system in India is really fucked up- to the point that i need to pass my senior year with good grades just to get into a good uni of my choice. What makes it worse is this- we do not have legal means of emancipation for minors; we have to put up with whatever luck or the government tries to pass off as an 'acceptable' guardian.
I am basically stuck here till i hit 18 and even then i doubt my parents will leave me alone. Ugh.
P.S My phone somehow only posted half the stuff yesterday. I'm sorry if it confused someone.

RE: How stupid can you get??
Welcome to the world of absolute unchecked authority. Even their stupidity and illogic is more logical than your own logical(which is actually the logic of reality). Thus they deny your rightness and thus the rihtness of the laws of nature for their own wrongness and whatever damn universe they think they live in.
Generally also a sign of ignorance,narow-mindedness and overall stupidity. Unfortunately not as publicized by the psychiatric community...

Except school has a higher percentage of narcissists(aka the admins).

Pretty sure there aren't that many psychopaths/narcissists in general society. Or at least some people overestimate the amount.

I agree. Most of them are faux narcissists.
