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.

why is FLE taught in school but not philosophy?
There's alot of crap that's taught in school that no one wants or needs to know. 6000 thousand years ago people didn't know how sex worked and they survived. But my question is why is crap and propaganda taught in school but not the most important thing: philosophy and wisedom. its probably the most important. it helps u mature as a person. it provides insight into the world and makes the planet a better place. if one, just one entire generation is taught wisedom and philosophy no matter wat their race, religion, or wealth, the world may forever be a better place. but no. its not important. wat is important is learning wat they want u to learn so you can become a mindless worker to benefit society. they dont care if ur happy or not. they dont care if u have an immature and stupid mind. all they care about is that u vote for them and make them money. that's the reason y the world is the way it is: incompetence, ignorance, and greed.

Hey, hello there fresh meat. Nothing of that all is new, but that's what we are here for, right? At least it's good to know there is someone with some common sense left.
Problem, officer?

What's FLE?
If you want to be a different fish, you've got to jump out of the school.

Family life education. Referred to as sex ed, and it's the ultimate guideline how to be a boring Mr. Smith next door.
edit: Also the cause of rising degeneration rates, and infantilizing teens so they feel 'free' to fuck each other like rabbits.

why should they not 'fuck each other like rabbits', excepting things like STDs and pregnancy, which are more practical considerations than moral ones?

Re: why is FLE taught in school but not philosophy?
Because it's pointless and morally degrading, succesfully lowering self-esteem and the will to do anything else. Also the main cause of retardation among this age group, as well as a serious threat to those who choose not to participate in this miserable excuse of a lifestyle.
Of course I don't mean only this age group either. But the sex ed is the cause.
It keeps people from maturing, as without it such immature fuckgroups would die out in a flash. More often than not, a 14 year old operating on feelings and common sense can feel more responsibility for such things than a 25yo drunkard who does it all 'legally' because education said so.

To me it seems like you hate the whole thing in school where people have sex all the time and brag about it thing in a way to make themselves feel great more then actual sex itself. Believe me I know how you feel when I had to listen to idiots brag about this in a effort to prove their sexuality like some medal when this is about as gay as you can be while being straight if any. also I when I stayed with my dad(good time to mention I'm from a black family) I had to deal with him and his families trying to get me laid 24 freaking seven.

How does sex keep people from maturing? if anything general society keeps people from maturing as they give sex that forbidden taboo label that makes teens so drawn to it and makes them feel special for doing it. as for the age thing I agree, My dad must have sex at least 20 times a week and all with different girls but he's aleast smart enough not to get women pregnant now.

It's only that. And you're not the only one who has a family expecting you to be a 'straight gay'.

I didn't say it does. If not forced, people are ready to do it at 13 earliest... but since the retarded peer influence and bullshit law, the only teen cases are those sick ones - as there's no way to have it the right way, AND there are almost no people who wouldn't submit to the bullshit herd.
Confession tiem - if the world allowed me to, and didn't kill off my future wife prematurely, I'd be ready to run a family when I was 14. I realized it back then as well, and it would be all the good way - no slutty 'experiences' on both sides, nobody forcing to do anything... seriously, if it weren't for the stupid system trying to teach people the obvious, just so they won't want to learn it.
You pretty much get all that I mean, thanks probably to having a bad example nearby in both cases.
Problem, officer?

Re: why is FLE taught in school but not philosophy?
Like random_name said, if sex ed wasn't so "ZOMG CONDOMZ HAV A 50% FAILIN R8 PLUS SECKS IZ FORBIDENN BY DA LORD" then maybe teenagers wouldn't see it as a "rebellious act" and "condoms will just fail anyway, who cares if I don't use one". Thus so, teenage preganancies would most likely lower.

It's almost exactly like dare but the results of rebelling are so much better.

Re: why is FLE taught in school but not philosophy?
I don't really know what the OP is about, but as far as teenage sex...I highly doubt that sex itself lowers IQ. In fact IQ in its very essence is the intrinsic amount of wisdom a person has. So technically it shouldn't raise or lower if one were to have a doctorate in philosophy vs. A GED.
