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.

School rant. (Which I'm thinking I'll let a teacher read.)
Ok.
So.
I found out I have 2 cerdits.
In order to graduate senior year you need 20+, so I'm a freshman after their first quarter.
And I threw away all my paperwork from the school cause I figure, Hey, everyone else has their credit, so I should to.
But no, I don't.
And then I tell my teacher about it and she says I got those 2 credits my first year at PLI.
GREAT the year I TRIED to do things I get 1/4 of the already cut in 1/2 credit.
And the year I took street law and went to that class EVERYDAY to get a credit, I got NOTHING!
It's BULL SHIT!
then Theresa blames it cause I had "a teacher new to the program" even though everyone else who was in his advisory got credit.
Then Dave tells me "You're smart, you can make that up easily."
I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO! IT'S 2 YEAR'S WORTH OF WORK I ALREADY DID!
So now I'm just like "Fuck this shit, I'm not gonna do anything unless I want to and I'll do it my way."
So I sit there and talk with my friends and read books.
Theresa even yelled at me saying I should stop hanging out with people who, "clearly, have no interest in doing work. (Nick, my best friend)"
Then Nick doesn't get in trouble, he just gets ignored when he talks to Jake.
What do I get?
I get yelled at cause they "know I can do better(dave/theresa)" and they "want me to graduate (theresa)" and even because "I'mma bitch. (Nancy)"
Fuckin' A. You want me to pass and yet you failed me when I did the work your way!?
Why the fuck can't they just leave me alone like everyone else I hang out with?
AND they should give me my fuckin' credit too.
Theresa told me "school's like a job"... "you get paid in credit"
Lmfao. If I didn't get a check from my work I'd not go. I wouldn't quit, I'd just stop going.
:-P
That is all.

That's fucking bullshit, sorry to hear that. I hate how they tell us to work, then we do work, and it doesn't count. In order to do good, you have to pay attention to everything said everyday, do all the work everyday, stay after school for extra help, and top of all that smile at the teacher.
I'm sorry, I can't do that. Not 5 days a week, seven hours straight every day.

Fixed.
In all seriousness, that's completely ridiculous. It's so utterly like the schooling system that I can't bring myself to fully comprehend it. All this nonsense about getting paid in credit (which is not exchangable for the US dollar?!) and not even getting the credit you're due and calling it your payment. The payment you're not getting? And so, compulsory education continues to shock and amaze.
(I would sue them. Seriously. If credit is your payment, and you're not being given it, that's just slave labor, which is unconstitutional and therefore persecutable by law.)
(Well, it should be, anyway.)
Yum.

I'd be like "Shit fuck!" and go to the principal (or whoever), flip him off and yell "GED MUTHAFUKA!" and walk-out all calm. Well, that,d be awesome anyway.

I hate when they pull that you get paid in education card from out of their asses (I told a teacher that before)
They try to justify the way they treat us, the way they dog us on the work and the way we have to suffer at the hands of people we would in our right minds never associate ourselfs with.

I've tried to fight back and get credit.
all the teachers just gimme a blank look and say "idk what happened to it." and "I don't have any record of you or the work you did" (which is BS cause that teacher bugged me all year)
And AirMax... I've thought of doing that.
But I'd get in trouble with my mom (which I don't wanna do right now cause family problems stressing her enough)
and also my school doesn't have a principle.
it's dumb.
:-P
That is all.
