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.

stupid cafeteria rules

we have to wait for separate groups to be called by the principal. sometimes she would call us by shirt type; by table; by rows; even by gender (allowing girls to go first), which i successfully disobeyed with a part of the code of conduct article i found in my agenda stating that there is no discrimination on the basis of sex, and banned the principal from using that one Mwahaha. i would sometimes have to "blow my nose" before lunch because the lunch line is right by it.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, if they catch you playing gameboys during lunchtime, they take it away, just to "prevent it from getting stolen or lost" Wtf even worse, to get it back, your parents have to pick it up for you, is that worse than to risk losing the game?
EDIT 2: the "Ass"istant principal gave me a detention forwalking to the drinking fountain; apparently, I went during the last 5 minutes of lunch, and Big Brother doesnt like that. But, He also breaks his own rule AGAIN Wtf Same thing, Ladies, go first. I guess this is the reason for the no knifes rules Evil.

That, is because they want you to be habituated to obey them and herd you like little sheep.

Oh, and Welcome

I highly suggest Mobb Deep's albums The Infamous and Hell on Earth, if you have not listened to it yet.

I remember having to put up with that shit in junior high. We had to sit with our hands raised and wait to be dismissed. It was ridiculous because when I was in grade school, we didn't get dismissed, we just threw our lunch away and went back outside.

Me too. I should've just gone before everyone else and left immediately. Why I didn't, I have no idea.

It's your life and he shouldn't discriminate anyone and if he does, he should be reported.
He's breaking his own rules, what an arse. Biggrin

School is practice for the future, practice makes perfect. Nobody’s perfect so why practice?

when i told her that what she did was bad, she said "this is just separating you kids, like choosing by clothes or something, but tomorrow, boys go first." this isn't what i wanted, it only furthers the damage

at my school they call us by homeroom and we have to sit with our homerooms.the boys and girls are seperated
the boys will eat while the girls are in the gym then we switch half way through lunch.i wish the boys weren't seperated
from the girls,cause u would really like to sit with my gf at lunch.

Telling people to do something without giving a reason compels them to rebel not to obey-Avenger

We need to learn not to be afraid of making mistakes all the time-Avenger

FACTS OF LIFE:
1.life sucks most of the time
2.sex is natural and it feels good
3.everybody can be an asshole
4.most people are idiots

well, maybe if the boys sat with the girls, the schools would lose control of your happiness level

Re: stupid cafeteria rules

Sorting by gender should be just as controversial as separating by skin color. Why it isn't, I don't know. But what I do know is gender is actually more different than ethnicity.
why didn't we enslave women for being only part human?

Maybe if they're forced to go to your school for something trivial like this they'll realize how moronic and oppressive school is?
Or at least bitch at them. Evillaugh

Re: stupid cafeteria rules

wait, so they steal your own personal ppropety, because they dont want other people to steal it o_0.

Man, schools all around the world must have some secret black market bat cave where they sell these products of ours, because, surely, there has to be some logical reasoning to it!
