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.

Dead's dream log

Had another dream last night.

I was in a school's gymnasium with some of my friends. One of my friends (P) was angry over his ex-girlfriend so he made a fire.

There was a group of teachers sitting in a circle in the middle of the gym. I didn't recognize any of them. I forgot if they reacted to the fire or not.

After that, my friends started to mess around with me and jokingly beat me up. I started to panic a little because P started punching me in the face. The teachers saw this and told them to leave and that they'd get punished.

I tried to tell the teachers that we were just messing around, but they made me do this thing. They started to show me my friends' profiles on a laptop. The profiles were apparently made by the school. It had a bunch of wrong information on it (for example, one of them said my friend M was from Rhode Island, even though she isn't).

I woke up as they were going to show me the other profiles.

Also, there was this other part where I was watching a movie in one of the classes with M, I think it was supposed to be about math or something.
