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 forums are mostly read-only and are in a maintenance/testing phase, before being permanently archived. Please use this time to get the contact details of people you'd like to keep in touch with. My contact details are here.

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.

Christian schools

This is a thread for everyone who attends (or attended) a Christian school to vent, share experiences and support each other. Go.

P.S. People who attend (-ed) other religious schools are also welcomed.

RE: Christian schools

I might be attending a Catholic school once I get out of middle school. Does that count?

RE: Christian schools

I don't attend a religion school, but I had some religion classes (forced ofc). It sucked copious amount of dick. Teacher was always telling how we should "pray" to "god" and how we will be rewarded if we do and also how much we will suffer if we don't.

RE: Christian schools

WTF

Forced religion in class is stupid, since NO ONE will listen to the teacher. It can only make religion look stupid.

But I do agree Morality has place in schools.

RE: Christian schools

HELL NO! It will be a waste of thousands of my parents' dollars! After my junior year ill he 18 so ill definitely drop out cuz they'll never let me at 16, so that'll sure waste their money! Only the teacher's pets and the dumbasses are going there! Ive ranted about school many times to my parents and I don't get good grades so they think a Catholic school will "discipline" me. I EVER SO HOPE I DONT GO!

But if I do, I will be messing their shit up SO BAD until they're entirely useless. I remember last year some kid wiped our teacher's hard drive, and she didn't teach us shit for the rest of the year! Very funny, ill have to do it at the Catholic school.

RE: Christian schools

I go to a Catholic school, and let me tell you, it's Hades incarnate. We all have to wear the same uniform, your hair must be the colour brown (something about it being non-distractive), you have to pray to GodJesus for thirty minutes in the morning, and the only songs the school band and choir perform are the same as the shit you hear in WBC sermons. In the essence of whining, I'll list the more intense negative aspects: I was suspended for being bisexual, and was given detentions for being an atheist. I didn't even choose to go there in the first place.....

If you're reading this, I killed myself.

Are you trolling or an asshole?
Being forced to dye hair brown, detentions for being atheist and bisexual, forced prayer every morning. Maybe you're right, that doesn't sound bad. It sounds fucking HORRIBLE.

It's religious school for a reason. Although, the thirty minutes prayer is a bit useless

No, I just hate how it takes away our individualism. I don't know how the schooling system works in Bulgaria, but the way my school runs is almost unheard of in Canada.

Yeah, my hair was auburn beforehand. I think it's to look like the stereotypical Catholic person (i.e. Italian, Irish), though most kids who go there are either German or Somalian.

RE: Christian schools

There's a lot of hypocrisy going on in my Catholic school. They go on and on about Ecumenism but won't let kids that aren't Catholic to get a scholarship so my friend is forced to pretend that she's a Catholic and do everything we do even if her religion is against it so she could afford to go to our school.

But Stalin's killing of the millions was moral. Cool.
There is nothing wrong with sex in public. The best sex is done at the beach, or in the forest.
But public sex is good for the thrill, especially the gay sex because people get shocked by it. haha

Well, it's only good if you find a REALLY scary looking cemetary. And it's like 2am in the night.
And the soil has to be nice and soft for the knees.
And sometimes the receiver likes to kneel over the gravestones.

RE: Christian schools

Anyways, my experience. We had some awful Nazi terrorist sister who was frighting us with stories about hell, Satan, egzorcism, God's punishment, satanism in music etc. She dictate us what we have to know and then we had to repeat literally word by word what she said. We had to know by heart all the books in the Bible and their abbrevations. There were no discussions. You couldn't state your opinion or be different. Critical and creative thinking were not encouraged. The peer pressure was huge, I had fights all the time with my peers about religion. I just couldn't stomach their naive acceptance on every stupid dogma there is. But, eventually, they managed to break me down. I still have trauma from that school.
