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.

magic Wrote:FYI i think i have mental problems
I don't know. Though I do think you have anger issues, as well as problems with expressing yourself in intelligible ways, combined with a problem to back up your opinions with arguments, points and facts.

But I sorta support the anti-psychiatry movement, and I don't think that mental problems are nearly as prevalent as psychiatrists say there are. Most mental problems are a direct result of forced schooling, repressing individuality, social "expectations", or some other great idea of the government.
Also, any deviation from the norm is now considered to be a "disorder" or "syndrome". If you write messily, you're dyslexic.If you write neatly you're a perfectionist.
If you're energetic, you have ADHD. If you aren't energetic, you have passive defiance disorder.
If you prefer to be alone, you're asocial and have Asperger syndrome. If you like to be with others, you have low self-confidence and are too dependent.

If you don't like something you're doing (e.g. anger issues) change your behaviour. Don't just pop a couple of pills and expect all to be fine. Don't treat it as a "mental problem", simply think of it as something you don't like about yourself and would like to change.

In summary, rely on yourself to deal with "mental problems". Don't conform for the sake of conforming, think about the point of actions.

Don't take life so seriously, it isn't permanent.

Re: Standards my ASS

Yeah, i dont think there is such thing as a mental problem. Everything is considered a problems when things are normal. Basically society is being retarded because your are different. Also i get really pissed when my stuff gets moved, i used to wash my hands where they would bleed. Lets see, when i went crazy once i ran head first into a wall.
