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.

Re: I failed...7th grade

You have not failed.
Your life is not a failure.
You are not a failure.
You only failed 7th grade.

I don't know what your options are at this point, but just know that you're not a failure just because you failed 7th grade. Will your parents be willing to homeschool? Will they make you repeat the grade?

He did not say he failed @ life

Anyway take it easy, if you gonna repeat the year, it will be much easier since you already have an idea about what you took before >.>
that IMO, I never failed a year^^ (no yet...)

Re: I failed...7th grade

You never know, sometimes bad things can be good things in disguise. You might meet more interesting people or something. ... That's assuming you do 7th grade again next year?

Re: I failed...7th grade

Crap six. That's alot of grades. I suffice by making my teacher cower in fear at the very thought of me. She's tried to get me into a different class, but I pointed out to her that because she is too incompetent to teach me is not an adequate excuse. She never tried that again!

magic, don't be so pessimistic. Schools are different, just like people. Maybe this will work out for Inv3rt.

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

Re: I failed...7th grade

See if they have any other ways of compleating 7th grade without summer school. My school offers online classes over the summer. Do not give up

Whilst some work diligently there are those who ask why. I am one of them
