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.

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.

I might be going to independent study soon, and i'm counting on it so much that I haven't been doing anything for the past week. And every single day last week, people would not shut the fuck up.
Apparently, someone decided it'd be fun to play 20 questions with me. In fact, everyone did.
"Where's your shit Steven? Why don't you do anything Steven? You're still here Steven. Are you going to that independent study thing soon Steven?"
I can't take it anymore. And it takes alot to get me to say that. I hate that place. And I don't want to go, obviously.
I keep thinking of doing something drastic. Like, burning down the school, or hiding my parent's car keys so I don't have to go.
Fuck this. Worst times ever right now.

feign running away, stay at a friends house, when u come back, if they're angry, u know they don't care about you, if they're sorry and blame themselves, u know they care, and u could make them not send you to that place
my friend did it to get out of detention, and it worked

TRIGGER WARNING: THIS TRIGGER WARNING CONTAINS TRIGGER WARNINGS!
Dear Tumblrites:Despite your wrongly self-diagnosedPTSD, no line ofscientific evidencesuggests people can be triggered over theinternet. Triggering works through thesenses(i.e. smell, taste, touch, vision, hearing.) but it goes throughreal time; if you're not experiencing it in real life as it'sACTUALLY HAPPENINGin yourACTUALlife, youCANNOTbe triggered. The only exception to this is if you have aseizure, but then again, that's triggered byepilepsy(i.e. rapidly-changing flashing lights)NOT PTSD. Remembering a bad incident is NOT the same thing as having aflashback. When you remember, youthink; when youflashback,youfeel.

Not if I didn't get caught, but it's way too risky, haha.
Naw, you're right, i'm just thinking aloud.
Independent study is a homeschool type thing where you go to a certain school once every week or so, and get a bunch of homework to do. You don't have to go to school, and you have to finish the work before you go back in the following week.
Today sucked. I realized independent study isn't guarenteed. I doubt i'm getting in.
I think i'm just not going to do anything until i'm 18, and then drop out legally. Yeah, in California, it's illegal to drop out before the age of 18. I fucking hate these people.
Me, getting threated with juvie for not wanting to be forced to go to that place. I wasn't aware that a crime was being committed. Especially if it's just me wanting to be left alone.
I hate people.

Yeah, and the school locked down, covince them to waste money on "security upgrades" such as shoving students through metal dectors, and get sent to gitmo as a potential terrorist.
