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.

Re: Today is back....
Okay. *Starts writing.*
Begin Chapter 1.
Chapter 1
The light soaked the hallway with all of the might of a flood. It never could be brighter, so much so that it was hard to even think of the joy that rushed to me after I learned the Head resigned over the sting op she did last year.
Bah, thank Jesus they invented sunglasses. I threw them on and left. The next day will be the day the next Head (Rod Johns is his name) will step up to the plate. I went outside where even the trees weren't able to stand the harsh torture of the blazing heat. I hopped on my bike, thinking about the next hours until that day. 9/1/08. What to say? What to do? My brain was filled up with so much it was hard as hell to contend and I just crashed. It wasn't all that bad, so I just went and rode on.
When I got home, I told my dad the news. He was also very joyous.
"'Bout time that scumbag child abuser got her butt out of Tarlow and into jail."
"Yeah, pretty much. Anyways, I heard that the new Head's going to be much nicer and caring. That's as much as I know."
"Ok."
I ran up to my room, opened the door and started to go to sleep.
But oops. Left the door ajar. So I closed and locked it.
Good night.

Re: Today is back....
New chapter.
Chapter 2
Next thing I knew it was 7:00 am and I rushing to school on my bike. The wind was gusting like a hurricane, and my bike was swerving; left, right, left, right. Luckily I was able to survive past the last turn to get to the bike rack; while there I saw that the gusts had tattered the flag.
When I reached the door, I wasn't able to open it; the wind proved too powerful. Jason, a football player, was able to open it though, proving that you don't always need to hate football players.
I walked in, slow as a snail-because I was tired as heck-and shook everyone's hands. When I reached the Head, and asked him about the old crap, he replied with this:
"There won't be any suppression of speech, as there must be a freeflow of ideas coming around the school."
He winked.
Hmmm.
