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.

Types of people I hate:
-Arrogant people. Arrogance is probably the one trait that I hate the most. Their only redeeming feature is that it is amazing to watch them fail, especially to one of their "lesser" peoples (non-friends and non-family).
-Mean people. The types that are just mad at you for no reason
-Sanctimonious people. Taking the worst traits from hypocrites, self-righteous people, and often religious people.
-Spoiled/bratty people. Just because your parents won't let you go to Gucci again after you've singlehandedly put them $75,000 in debt, that doesn't mean they hate you. Get over it. This is not your Earth.
* When assholes complain that people made them the way they are. Look, I didn't do shit to you, and a whole lot of people didn't do shit do shit to you too, so don't come to us saying that we're the cause of you're problems, cause we don't wanna fucking hear it.
Galan Wrote:My point in all of this is that I'm sick and fucking tired of lame ass fucking morons sitting around feeling sorry for themselves, blaming the world for their own personal misfortunes, and then acting like the whole fucking planet owes them something.
* When men keep staring at girls. I'm guilty of this too (Hypocrite). Its like we got nothing else to do. It seems to us that women are somehow prizes and eye-candy.
*When my dad makes me do stuff he can clearly do himself.
* Back to school commercials
* When people criticize how you dress or act. Look fucker, it ain't hurting you, so shut the fuck up and leave me alone. If you don't like how I dress don't say shit to me. I couldn't care less what you think of me.
And so on.....

Again, I agree with you. School does teach you things. And once again, you are missing the point entirely. It's not that I disagree with school's mission or the things it teaches. What I object to is that the students are deprived of any choice in the matter. As benign as the intentions may be, any system that forces people into an environment where they have no say in their lives is a situation ripe for abuse of power.

You'll end up like Prometheus, chained to a rock with a bird eating your internal organs.
Or as close as that can be recreated on an internet forum.

When my mother always chose to call me "SamANTHA" when shopping in the mens' section to make me feel sick and have store clerks give me weird looks.
When people turn other people against you for not agreeing with them.
People who say running away is the runners' complete fault instead of figuring out why they ran. If things were fine at home or school or anyplace then would they have a reason to run?
Bras, fuck.
Periods. Literally have a phobia.
Sunburns, either when they turn into blisters or when you really want to peel them but you CAN'T REACH FAR ENOUGH AAAAh. Such anger, makes me want to SMASH everything.

Zoidberg: What is it, already? What's the cause of your anger?
Leela: I guess I would have to say, I hate you!

Getting interrupted.
Movie ending/plots ruined. (Damn you Hannah)
When School Survival nukes my battery
Parents say things that aren't true
Getting a brand new computer thats a piece of shit.
Having my awesomesauce laptop taken away because I have this piece of shit i'm typing on.
"Ask them no more questions, never hear them lying"
People say the problem with me is I have psychotic tendencies and care not about other human beings I don't like and or know. So?
*Authoritarian assholes who can't see past "it's the rules/law" when arguing things. Especially infuriating when they make it seem like a person can't tell the difference between something serious "like murder" and something not so serious "parking violation".
*The macho military type who is always defending authority no matter how totalitarian they get. I've even heard one son of a bitch defend the teen boot camps (or as I like to call them "torture camps") believing that they "make a man" out of them. They brag about bullshit things like patriotism and honor yet have no respect or compassion for their fellow man. Fucking hypocrites.
*Judge Judy. God I hate that bitch.
*Fundamentalist Christians. Especially those who think that spreading their judgmental hatefilled message makes them some kind of martyr.
*Tiger mothers who push their kids beyond their limits to excell, not understanding or caring that they're making their kid miserable and unhappy.
*People who defend things just because "It's tradition" or "part of our culture".
*Anyone who can't take no for an answer.

Hollywood and their bullshit.
Myself sometimes along with other people.
Laws and rules that are made up and enforced to cater to people who made stupid mistakes or are stupid themselves(curfew laws or tougher driving regulations because some doofus was drunk driving and happen to fit some criteria).
People who act all self righteous over a person they didn't even know because that person was *human*.

*gasp!* Could it be? That it's true that they've all become whores? And that I was right and they we're wrong for telling me not to call them whores instead of getting off of their lazy asses and proving me wrong? HALELUGIAH!
"There's no 'I' in 'Team'." Yeah, but there is a "me" in "Team" spelled backwards!
