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.

Hello, I'm sorta new...
My name is Daniel, I am 15, live in Oklahoma (NOT A REDNECK) I value cleverness, intellectuality. I am new here I was referred here from a good friend with like-minded feelings towards school and the 'system' if you will.
First, I must tell you my stances on school, education, politics, etc... If I did not I would most surely feel hypocritical in the near future. As for school, I am not 'Anti-School' I am more 'Anti-Stop-Babying-Us-And-Treating-Us-Like-Were-Six-And-Sending-Us-To-The-Office-For-Every-Little-Thing'. If you can say that in one breath, please pat yourself on the back, you deserve it!
As for politics... I'm not fully anarchist, love the sign though, but I do support a sort of 'Anti-Government' feeling right now, due to the war, the Bush Administration, etc...
Oh, and I love to be a smart aleck lol... Tons of fun....
Anyway, thanks for letting me on the site!

This has been a test of the emergency pointless argument system. Had this been a real pointless argument, someone would have been called a facist.

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

Thank you all for the welcomes. I know this is off-topic but I do believe in God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. The only reason I say this is because I have seen a lot of 'Religious Bashings' which is your peragative, just letting you know my stances. Oh, and I'm not an extremist of anarchism, just think some things should change.
Thanks.

okeydokey. You shoulda been here a few years back, we had this whole totally civilized discussion with christians and satanists talking about their beliefs in the same thread. That was cool
I guess some people get touchy on the beliefs issue.
