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.

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.

cops searched lockers for weed before winter break

the kid who got caught for weed a while back didn't get anything done to him, which i guess is good, but it says in our code of conduct or something that you'll get expelled. i don't even think he got an in school suspension.

Quote:Still do this shit in schools, I guess. What state do you live in, by the way? Even though they still do the search for drugs crap in California, I wonder how it'll be affected when weed is inevitably legalized here (probably by next November 2014 at the very earliest), though it'll probably be like alcohol.

i live in canada.

Quote:Pretty sure marijuana is not actually addictive. I can see if people (like the many weed-smokers I know) like its relaxing benefits a lot, but still.

Bringing weed to middle school sounds just dumb. But what's even more dumb is this War on Drugs shit. It's clogging up our justice system and fucking up our kids because the prison industry convinced the judicial system that people doing weed are on the same level as rapists and serial killers. There's a petition going around on change.com about a father who got a minimum sentence of around 55 years for being caught with weed. Jesus Christ.

Yeah, okay, crack and heroin and meth and such are pretty damn bad. But this is a bad way to fight them.

it's not, and i'm pretty sure they're worse on rapists and murderers than drug possession/dealership.
a father sentenced to 55 years? sheesh, what do they think is worse? a dad having drugs or a kid growing up without one?
those other drugs are just terrible.

Quote:Every week? That's an insane violation of privacy.

that's what i thought. they fuck up the lockers and everything.

anything that i didn't replied to i agree with
