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.

Reasons why School is Prison.
1.) School and Prison are both mandatory.
2.) School and Prison both strip away the freedom of their inmates.
3.) School and Prison both strip away the dignity of their inmates.
4.) School and Prison both force inmates to do as the establishment dictates under threat of punishment.
5.) School and Prison both get their power from the government.
6.) School and Prison both use guards to prevent escape.
7.) School and Prison both have similar facilities.
8.) School and Prison both require uniforms.
9.) School and Prison both use surveillance cameras.
10.) School and prison both have a warden. (Principle.)
The amount of similarities between school and prison is scary.

Re: Reasons why School is Prison.
You aren't allowed to leave. That's enough to make it a prison.
I left school once. Then I went back because my dad told me to. I didn't get in trouble. The wardens don't really pay that much attention.

I'd rather be in prison than school. At least they have a cooler bus that isn't bright yellow... XD
