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.

However, the schedule is to prepare kids for the regiment of real-world everyday life (breaks at work, punch in times at work, etc.). It's boring, but it pays to have the experience with a regimented schedule.

Kids have no opinion....well that is completely true, in and out of school (Dulce_Maya's problem). But once you hit high school, you end up picking your classes. So at least some choice is given.

Homework is not bull. It prepares you with knowledge you'll need in the real world, college or otherwise. It may seem boring now; but when it comes up on a college exam, one that let's you save money or gets you into something interesting/useful, you'll be happy you paid attention in school.

First off, Soul, you probably just invited a shitflood of problems. Remember to either use a referrer stripper or to make sure it's not a hyperlink. It's a moot point now, though. Nobody sign up to debate them because it'll only start trouble now.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry...or do both. So brainwashed, the poor chillun.

Quote:I agree, I liked high school. I got good grades, had good friends, and had a good time. I'm not sure why people don't like school, probably unpopularity or sheer stupidity lol

I would enjoy walloping this schmuck with a mace. "lol unpopularity iz teh reason lol". Piss off, twit. Maybe the reason isn't fucking unpopularity. Maybe the reason is because they hate forced education, & they hate being forced to go someplace they hate about 10 months a year. What a donut.

Re: Oh, look - retards!

I hate to say this, but they're kinda right in saying that school prepares us for life. Not that they're teaching us anything useful, they're just trying to accustom us to kissing our boss's ass to manage in life. If one fails at kissing one's boss's ass, one is labelled as deviant, unlikely to manage in life. Rolleyes

I doubt they'd do anything besides come here and argue with us. Who cares?

You are right man. School does try to prepare us for having a job. But thats probably as far it goes. It fails for everything else. When I quit school, I had to find a full-time job. I was always late to school (because I didn't care) and I used to be late to work all the time. There's not much pressure from my work to be there on time, and lately I've found myself showing up early...

Re: Oh, look - retards!

I've stopped caring when I see stuff like this. i know it's there, and I know that ignorant people think it. I won't change them, and neither will others. Getting my panties bunched up every time I read/heard something like this would make me very stressed out and angry.

I highly suggest Mobb Deep's albums The Infamous and Hell on Earth, if you have not listened to it yet.

Wow, you're really fucking retarded.
There's nothing wrong with being a nerd; it's nerds that rule the world.

I'd much rather learn than spend my time playing basketball or tag. Not that I'm saying I actually learn things at school, though.

That statement was obviously directed on a high school level. It doesn't work that way in real life.
The good-looking jocks usually end up working for the nerds they beat up during their middle and high school years. Who wins in that situation?
