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.

Hi

Soo...
Okay, so seeing as I'm bored as hell and can't bother doing homework and it's like midnight here, I decide to write this.
So mostly I'm a 12 year old boy, from Moldova (a country with quite rare chances of you to hear about) and as you might of understood I'm in 7th grade. Here the marks (british term?) are from 1 to 10 and my mother learned when they were from 1 to 5 (Communist system). Next I have been learning in a quite easy school from 1 to 4th grade and then i was moved to this awesome hard to keep on school that my parents paid 1000 Lei for me to enter, as they want me to learn REALLY good, thinking that grades are the most important thing now in life at least for me now. Now don't get me wrong or anything, I love my mother and all but sometimes (as usual) he just pisses me off.Once, not so much ago I skipped school for 2 days, and she beat me really good, it hurted a lot, a freaking lot. Next, I HATE doing homework, assisting at boring classes and so on, i have around 5-6 friends in my class and obiviously a lot of guys in the class are picking on me, but I try and ignore them. Every day of the week i wake up at 6:30 AM with the words "fuck... gotta go to school.... want... to ... sleep... " and i still go [brush my teeth rarely cause i lack time] I'm almost NEVER late for some reason too... I'm in school, next my best friend is almost forever late and yet he got those nice, good parents [sadly also thinking grades are crucial in this life] and I'm waiting for him in that crowd of colleges so close, yet so afar.. I'm feeling like an unwanted guest, a stranger but then the classes start and he's almost late with that "Sup? :3" attitude. I'm also concerned about life like a lot, future, philosophical shit. So I try and pass my lessons quiet and so the teachers wouldn't ask me and then instead of going and hanging out with friend I go straight home [as my mother teached me too...] and then usually do my homework [not THAT good, but decent enough for teachers to say i've not done anything]. Play computer for the rest of the evening and then go to sleep [also I ain't got a family that eats all together or at a certain time either... and my parents are a lot of time busy/at work]. That's what I do over and over and over again each day... Also I don't like most of the subjects in school, like a half of them and yet I'm really good at English, like really good sience here it's the 1st foreign language. Lately even as I strived to go to sleep at around 10 I still go to sleep really late. I'm also over thinking stuff a lot, I'm the person that thinks a lot and thinks deep into things... My dream career is to draw anime or anime inspired graphics or such or work at a online game company or do animations or make programs and work for companies. I did try to learn programming, I know some basics but that's just the beginning, I am quite good at drawing though and I'm trying to ignore sad things and focus on the hahppy part in life. I also dropped with my grades quite a bit from 5th to 7th either the lessons are harder and all either I've just gotten lazier and lazier.... So guys, what would you say about my life and would school matter that much in my life? And please, take that seriously. P.S. There might be some grammar fails here...

Also i have no idea and i'm searching help on if to do homework or not, hence going to University = HIGHER chance of getting a job here. So that's the dilema - I'm nearly 100% sure school is mostly a huge BS and waste of time YET not going to it, completing it and advancing to harder BS will make your life pointless... Halp? Also if I somehow will get flamed because of my age I can always lurk on these forums yah? Just sayin.. Shrug Yourock

I know, I know, just can't be arsed to edit it. ._.
I'm opting for meaning rather than how well it's written.

Oh and,

Let go of all desire for the common good, and the good becomes common as grass.
