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.

"The No Self-Defense Policy" is BULL.
*Excuse my anger*
I have been waiting to rage out about this ever since I've first seen the policy. At my school, there's a policy that says that you CANNOT defend yourself under ANY circumstances...
Okay, first of all, who the fuck thought it was okay for students to NOT be able to defend themselves? If some snotty, A-hole "bully" came up to me and socked me in the face, I should have the RIGHT to hit him back out of self defense! But no! There is no "victim". We'd both get the SAME punishment. What am I supposed to do? Stand there and get my ass kicked? NO. My instincts would kick in and beat the crap out of the person. EVEN A SIMPLE PUSH is called "fighting" and at my school, you get a fucking POLICE CITATION! 400 USD to be exact.
