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.

That's what I used to do sometimes.
Someone dear to me once said "We are the light." But, if that's true, then why am I still searching?

I have a great source of knowledge which keeps me actively learning and sane in such environment. Without, yes it would be depressing.

I admit, I consider it from time to time. Fortunately for me, I know better. 4 months left is not something worth killing yourself over.

Sad but true. They don't do any crap maybe except proving depressed people right even more.

They basically tell you to go kill yourself, so they don't have to listen to you anymore.

No, you clearly haven't met one. They tell you to literally keep on living only because 'your life is valuable', it doesn't matter if ninjas killed your family or whatever.

I wish I also could. Psychiatrists are the people I lack respect for to the point of dehumanizing, so I can harass and mock them with no regrets whatsoever.

Lol My mom would kill me. I would rather prefer myself alive, unless it's at my own expense.

It's fun how I can screw with people better than psychologists.
