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.

Speaking out againts the system
I got a freking detention. AGAIN! This time for 6! hours. After school thursday. The dumbass thinks I was playing on my ipod when I was just pulling iy out of up my shirt, where I was keeping it, and was about to put it in my pocket. A teacher reporyed me, and tge principle saw me. I will speak to the principle monday. I am going to speak up against the detention system instead of trying to get out of detention. I wanna make her look like an asshole. Once she starts to yell, I will say something like "I am fine with going to the detention, only 6 hours out of my life. I dont care. I wasnt accually using the ipod, but I guess there was no way of you knowing that. Thats okay, I understand. Everybody makes mistakes. And I know you hate me, and thst is perfectly fine. Everybody has people they hate for one reason or another, I
understand because I hate people too. But would you mind being more fair about detentions in the future. Like there are pleanty of kids who call me many bad words, and stuff me in trash cans, lockers, anything you can imagine. I have reported then to you, but you did nothing. And I get 6 hour detention because of unfair judgement? I know life isnt fair at all, thats just life. I know you favor those students way over me and that you hate me, but please keep those feelings to yourself, in the future. I am not trying to get out of detention, I mean its 6 house out of my life. I want you to learn a lesson for the future. I know you may not have realised this mistake you have been making, but now you do. Its never too late to change." Any suggestions on what else to say. I just want her to look like an ass, and maybe get her to understand her mistakes.

Don't say more; say less. You might get interrupted, after all.
Anyway, if there seriously is some favoritism here, you have a lot of people you need to threaten with legal action.

Say it in a high voice, you have just learned the cute little girl/Japanese girl tactic.
Congratulations humanity,because you refuse to let go of the old and evolve you actually make people believe in 2012. Not only that, but you're the only species on Earth that were able to make it possible, now we get to sit until we die because we couldn't get to Mars. We have failed as a society and don't deserve our gifts to survive for this long. Maybe this is why dinosaurs are extinct, we sure aren't any better than the dirt you say we're created from. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pla...DvwSOFto#!

What happens if you don't show up for the detention? 6 hours is WAY too long, especially for something you didn't do.

RE: Speaking out againts the system
The cute little girl tactic might just work. Because many people accually think I am 8! (I am 14) that may work. And why would I waste my $ on pop rocks? Those are so damn expensive!

after you say that, drop a manilla folder on her lap and when she asks what that is just tell her to open it, and when she does there will be a card in it that just says "my friends convinced me to do it" it'd be funny

Speaking out againts the system
If I could intrusively say what I would do. When someone gives you detention, which they actually can't. Just go home. School is finished. We don't have it in our school. Back to the point.
When they give you detention. Just form a very little smile in your face when the teacher looks at you and says you've got detention. Be completely quiet all day long, don't say a word. That way you can show the teacher two things:
- You have adjusted to the school rules your teacher has been able to break you. Which you just project, but you actually are not. Appear weaker.
- You will, by not showing response give her/him the impression of non-caring.
Smile, like you enjoy it. It could make the teacher more pissed because she can't make you angry, sad, depressed.

1. None that they know of
2. From the one episode I saw on TV where a person was suing another, the papers are put in one of the big manilla envelopes that has the little brass prongs on them (which i hate)
3. Because, you're an American citizen, and you live in the Land of the free and Home of the brave...and if they ask why you did it and threaten more detention (since your skool is fucked up i think that's a legitmate reaction to this scenario) just say "I'm sorry, I thought I was in America." and optionally, you can walk out of the office if you want, or just sit there for the response.
The less you try to control things, the less you need to.

Why? I would much rather bitch about detention then sit in a dumbass grammer class! And they make me stand the whole 6 hours of detention and because I have a ruptured achilles, broken ankle, broken wrist and the unharmed ankle gives out a lot and hurts like hell from carrying a lot of extra wieght, it sucks to stand for 6 hours

And the principle did make herself look like an ass. It was funny, there was a group of 10 6th graders who were secretly watching as she picked me up and threw me across the room. They are now all scared to death now of the office.

It is not halloween yet. But there was a HUGE crate of dynamite found in my buildings basement. And tons of matches, so I am now so scared! I am gonna take a trip on a bus (public transportation is cheap) and go to a rich part where there are no fires. Maybe throw together a cheap costume and get free candy! I will stay out alk night! FREE CANDY!

RE: Speaking out againts the system
No people usually get that confused when they read Facebook comments.
Congratulations humanity,because you refuse to let go of the old and evolve you actually make people believe in 2012. Not only that, but you're the only species on Earth that were able to make it possible, now we get to sit until we die because we couldn't get to Mars. We have failed as a society and don't deserve our gifts to survive for this long. Maybe this is why dinosaurs are extinct, we sure aren't any better than the dirt you say we're created from. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pla...DvwSOFto#!

I showed up because the last time I didnt show up I was tracked down and got a 7 hour saturday detention. I was bored as shit. And pissed as well.
