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.

Hey, the troll replied to our replies for the first time ever.
Not to argue his standpoint or anything like that, but a more troll-ish reply (not that that's a surprise, though).

You know, if you guys actually ignored this guy, he'd be much less annoying. Just don't even click on his threads; you already know they're gonna be stupid.

All of which (which is a small number in of itself) except maybe two were the same sort of troll-ish replies you gave us here, dodging the replies and throwing insults.

Re: OMG, people, school is NOT out to make you look stupid
Asder, i don't give a fuck if you're a troll or not, but what he's saying you're doing is that you make a thread, then we post insanely good arguments on it, and you reply to just one comment that had the word 'troll' in it. Are you not intelligent enough to keep defending your point? Or do you prefer to just insult back those who insulted you?
I'm so sick of all these people but I'm scared to be alone...

Dude, almost everything you've posted here seems rather pro-school, in my opinion. If you support it, what the hell are you doing on this site?
Speaking my opinion. Don't like it? Too bad!
Just pointing out that this site is for people who have problems with how completely flawed schools are. You seem to be one of those spoiled brats whose parents give him everything and a handjob for getting straight-A's in school. My point: if you're happy with mental corruption in children, kindly get off this site. Many of us are convinced that schools do not educate, they teach obedience, and you must feign respect for people who treat you like mildly-retarded animals.

I do not call memorising the textbook and spitting it out when it comes to test time 'thinking'. If it's trying to prepare me for the real world, it's failing miserably. I don't remember ever sitting with 20 others, all born within eleven months of me, at any place other than school and I went to college (U.K college). I don't remember any other place making me ask to go to the bathroom. Excuse myself, yes. There's a difference between 'May I go?' and 'Excuse me, be right back' though.
If I seem rude to you, please call me on it gently.

Flipping patty cakes at Mcdonalds beats spending years of your life hoping to get a job. It also comes with real life work experience and the possibility of advancement.

Sorry, but I'm only a slow worker because I value the sleep I've been getting since I got out of high school this year.
Oh, I understand completely. Now my mom is nagging me about getting a job, and losing benefits, yadda yadda. I really couldn't care less because my dad and her are like trying to "help me out", and where were they when I was against school and wanted homeschooling?
They put me throw a lot of shit, so I'm just going to ignore them and do whatever the fuck I want. I'm done listening to incompetency.

Man, if I'd been here earlier, I would have ripped Asder Miller's threads to shreds.
School's not there to make you think. Quite the opposite. One of the goals of school is to manipulate the minds of students and change what they think. I learned to think rationally by myself.
Honestly, when it comes to thinking emotionally about things, believe it or not, Grand Theft Auto V (alongside with many other things) has taught me far better about thinking about things emotionally than school has (but that's another thread for another day).
And how does school prepare you for the real world? Am I not living in the real world already? And why doesn't school teach cooking, paying bills, etc, things that are useful later in life?
