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.

itt we talk about presents and wish each other a merry christmas even though christmas is statistically the worst time of year for family relationships and shit

Celebrating christmas a day late? I *SERIOUSLY* hope you guys don't do this.
Also haul this year
-PC bits (new PSU, RAM, GFX)
-Skyrim and various other games
-fucktons of chocolate holy dicks i'm going to be sick
-monies (from £35 up to £120)
Verdict:
Better day than I thought. I was worried in the middle because my mum looked like she was going to cry. She's going through a hard time. But she didn't, she was happy. And it was a great day! Everyone in family was happy!

Why Baron did you happen to get your hands on Total War: Shogun 2 did you?
Funnily enough there was meant to be a code for it inside the GFX Card I ordered which didn't materialize and alongside the fact the card DOESNT FUCKING WORK GRRRRR
A bit of DOSH (about $60)
Some ugly, expensive clothes from LL Bean and American Eagle that I'm just gonna return and get moar DOSH (these were from my dad, not a surprise that he got 'em)
A fuckload of candy and snack foods.
More WWII books than I think I'll be able to read through the entirety of 2012, lol.
Socks (although they were the cool kind).
Some other pretty cool stuff that I don't really remember from my dad.
Pretty good, pretty good. I don't mind that all I got from my mom is books and food because A: I like the books a lot and B: I know she can't toss money around left and right like my dad can, and she does quite a bit for us anyway. If I return the clothing I don't like from my dad, I should get about $200 from it, which is more than enough to get loadsaevenmorebundeswehrgear, and some nice stuff from the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. shop to boot.

Again, I agree with you. School does teach you things. And once again, you are missing the point entirely. It's not that I disagree with school's mission or the things it teaches. What I object to is that the students are deprived of any choice in the matter. As benign as the intentions may be, any system that forces people into an environment where they have no say in their lives is a situation ripe for abuse of power.

This has been a test of the emergency pointless argument system. Had this been a real pointless argument, someone would have been called a facist.

Both of my parents are teachers. My body is bound, but my mind is free.
My dad bought his workers more shit for christmas than his own sons. Not that I am being bratty or spoiled. I literally expected nothing but when you buy your workers (one an illegal immigrant and two bums off the streets) more shit than your own sons... I don't know man lol

Lol Seems like suicide is a pretty good option for you. Chug bleach or anti-freeze. Too bad you're too much of a pussy to go through with it so you come here and we have to listen to you bitch and whine. Fucking attention whore.

I... are you telling me to commit suicide, and calling me an attention whore? That's not very nice. All I asked was whether or not you'd like me to share one of my Christmas gifts with you.

He's trolling, though Unschool usually isn't one to talk like that. Don't worry about it. I wouldn't report posts like it in the future either lol, simply because 99.9% of the time they're gonna be trolling.

Okay.... I am really fucking sorry. I feel like a complete dick head. I thought you were being sarcastic. I seriously deeply apologize.
