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.

1. If she doesn't know the people, how does she know they will harm you? Completely unfounded argument.
2. So, she can now predict the future, due to a show she watched on TV! Amazing. Get her to use her amazing powers to win the lottery!

All logic and sarcasm aside...I don't really know how to help you. D:

If don't mind starting a small war, you could just disobey her and do a walk-out. She has no real authority over you.

Re: Hi SS, im having a couple, minor problems.

Just go to the concerts anyway. Bring enough money to pay for a ticket if you're caught. You did not get this advice from me.

Alternatively, STOP STANDING UPSIDE-DOWN ALL THE TIME and almost FALLING OFF THE PLANET! Razz

Carla Franklin has never denied that on the afternoon of the third of August 2006 she raped and killed sixteen children celebrating their friend's fifth birthday and forced their parents to share a dinner of their remains.


If a teacher you don't know tries to bust you for something, just tell them "Jsem výměnný student, nemluvím anglicky. Tak jdi do prdele ty posranej hajzle, tvoje matka je kurva!", then send me money.

Re: Hi SS, im having a couple, minor problems.

i dont really know what to suggest to you, if it were me i would just find some other concerts i wanted to go to. i usually end up doing that. as for the party, no idea.

Re: Hi SS, im having a couple, minor problems.

most of the shows probably wont card so just go with a group of people with the majority of whom are 18 and you'll most likely get in.
as for the party just go anyways....

Maxwell pretty much spoke all there is to say about the concert. they never card you at those things.

As for the party just hook up with a friend that can drive and ditch the Hitler in stilettos she has no fucking right to tell you what to do

Re: Hi SS, im having a couple, minor problems.

hey guys, i think i might buy those tickets to the 18+ show =] i could pass for an over 18 year old probably.


And yeah, i wont be going to that party =[ Parentals are being complete fucktards. I asked my dad about it, and well, he started giving me this somewhat sexist lecture. Telling me that im only a 17 year old girl, im not old, im only a child.

'you are my little girl, and your only a child, i know you dont understand' Fucking Bullshit. I find this rather sexist. he didnt treat my brother like this at all. So, basically, i cant go to the party because im a girl, and i cant think for myself? It goes in deeper.......i wont explain it.....

also, this morning, i went to see my boyfriend, i told my dad, so he knew that i wasn't going to be at home. He started throwing another hissy fit.
He started changing subjects aswell! He started talking about school!

'I havent even seen your report!'
me, 'why not?'
'because you havent showed me'
me, 'it was on the bench'
'yeah, i didnt see it'
me, 'not my problem, go find it, mum has it probably'
'yeah, well, how do i know if you did good?'
me,'what do you mean 'good'?'
....moments later...


RAAA! YOU GO TO A NEW SCHOOL AND THIS IS WHAT YOU DO.. (reffering to having a boyfriend)

I wouldve knocked him out of i had the appropriate utensils..... -_-

He doesnt even want to meet my boyfriend...ooh, he doesnt like me referring to him as 'my boyfriend' either. -_-

And then, he started asking me what i was going to do with him today in the city. -_-. i told him, i dont know, were just gonna hang out. But then he kept asking me again...


More emotive things were said, and more ignorant things on his behalf was spat in my face, i was really really really angry already due to his actions the night before.......

I ended up walking to the busstop; crying.
Getting on the bus and enduring a somewhat pleasant bus ride; crying
Waiting at the station; crying
On the train; crying
At a melbourne station; crying.

I started reading a comic book i brought along while i waited for my boyfriend, so that made me feel better, and i eventually stopped crying.

But still, im sick of being treated like this from my dad. I got it when i was a child, although, when i was a child, i didnt know better.

but yeah, im really bitter towards my dad atm. I dont want to treat him with any respect. I have the least bit of respect for him at this current state.

Re: Hi SS, im having a couple, minor problems.

Sadhug simply pretending he doesn't exist works really well, and I would suggest going to your mom and talking to her about what an ass your dad is being. If you can get her on your side he will most likely back down.
If you don't think that would work or if the issues are a bit deeper than that you could always try to take legal action and just move out. Though that may not be possible where you live. You live in Australia right?
