how much do you really hate school?

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.

how much do you really hate school?

I really hate how I have to:

1. Be a mindless zombie
2. Shut up when the teacher's talking
3. Be forced to memorize things, answer questions, and write loads of crap on topics I don't care about
4. Treat it like it's actually important for me to be this mindless zombie
5. Bring home a whole boat load of homework and turn it in, completed, the next day
6. Accept anything I'm forced to memorize as truth
7. Regurgitate everything I had to memorize onto a test
8. ATTEND THIS PRISON IN THE FIRST PLACE

I really hate that I can't:
1. Rebel
2. Talk back to a teacher or administrator
3. Talk to my friends
4. Cheat on exams/tests
5. Pursue my own interests
6. Say that I'm bored
7. Disagree with the teacher
8. Think of new ways to do things
9. Get this time back
10. State any of school's problems

Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is.
