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.

Yeah well, as I turn around the cunt punches me in the back of the head and in the back, I turn around and guard my face and he's throwing all these punches. He punches like a bitch, he's a good kid but I don't know why he got so pissed off, he does more annoying shit to other people. Apparently he has anger issues but idk.
His lucky I didn't fight back.
EDIT: Well I guess I'm lucky too for blocking all his punches to my face lol

I know right!
And today he was bagging his friend for some reason, and his friend got pissed off and took his phone for a few minutes. Then he started throwing punches at him.
Now he says he's going to see a counsellor, I think it's all just bullshit and he's doing it as some sort of attention-seeking stunt for being a little weak bitch.

Who knows. That's just fucking weird, though. Doesn't seem like a legitimate reason to get angry at anyone. But then again he apparently has anger issues so who the hell knows what justifies him doing that crap in his mind. Why the fuck hasn't someone smashed his face into a locker?

RE: The school violence thread
i find it very sad that people think its kinda funny or awesome that theres school violence. im not saying those people care or dont care. im just saying its sad. i my self have been pushed so far to the point where i was thinking of suicide, walking into school with a bat and finding people i hate, ect. but i befriended my current gf and got some help from counselors and such. These kids get pushed to the edge of their mental ability and than branded psychopathic. its not video games, its not music, its not tv. its the people that pushed them to the edge. the teachers dont notice, and when they do notice its either warning them, or postponing the torment with a suspension. it never fair for the kids being tormented. for some unknown reason, the teacher doesnt, or rather ignores, the problem thinking it will go away in time. well that thinking backfires when the kid shows up, his mental mind stretched farther than anyone should ever endure and seeing no other option as help, with a weapon in hand hoping to end that torment. the very same kids that tormented them say to the interview people that that person was always kinda weird and a loner. they're that way because you made them that way... anyone ever read an old book, or watched as it is now adays, those old shows or books where the kids are all happily sitting in class trying to solve 9+9 or something. what ever happened to that?... it makes me sick that everyone segregates into different groups and picks on and bullies those that arent with them that are just trying to get by from day to day. im proud to say that i never have, and never will, bully someone in school. i cant see the point. their shoes are dirty... ever think that they only had 1 pair of shoes and work with the same shoes they walk around with, much like i do... rather they think just because their shoes are dirty their family is poor, and screwed up.... I dont want to know why the bully does it. rather what he gets from it... to cause someone pain and than laugh about it is inhuman and shouldnt be instigated by people who are only trying to not get bullied themselves.

RE: The school violence thread
I've allowed myself to try to make that text more readable ( changed some sentences, so they'd sound a bit better, but tried to keep the core of the sentence the same). Hope you don't mind:
Code:
I find it very sad that people think it's kind of funny or awesome that school violence exists.
I'm not saying that these people do or don't care. I'm just saying it's sad. I my self have been pushed as far to the point where I was thinking of suicide, walking into school with a bat and finding people I hate, etc.
But I befriended my current girlfriend and got some help from counselors and such. These kids get pushed to the edge or their mental ability and then are branded as "psychopathic". It's no the video games, it's not the music, it's not the television.
It's the people that pushed them to the edge. The teacher don't notice, and when they do, it's either warning them, or postponing the torment with a suspension. It's never fair for these kids being tormented. For some unknown reason, the teachers don't notice, or rather ignore, the problem, thinking it will go away in time.
Well, that thinking backfires when the kid show up, his mental health stretched farther than anyone should have to ever endure, seeing no other option as help than with a weapon in the hand hoping to end that torment.
The very same kids that tormented them say, to the interviewers, that this person was always kinda weird and a loner. They are like this because you made them this way...has anyone ever read an old book, or watched as it is nowadays, those old shows where the kids are all happily sitting in class, trying to solve 9+9 or something? What ever happened to that?
It makes me sick that everyone segregates into different groups and picks on and bullies those that aren't with them, who are just trying to get through from day to day. I am proud to say that I never have, and never will, bully somebody in school. I can't see the point. Their shoes are dirty...
Ever thought that they only had one pair of shoes and work with the same shoes they walk around with, much like I do...? Rather they think just because their shoes are dirty and their family is poor
and screwed up... I don't want to know why the bully does it, rather what he gets from it...
To cause someone pain and laugh about it is inhuman and shouldn't be instigated by people who are only trying not to get bullied themselves.

Congratulations humanity,because you refuse to let go of the old and evolve you actually make people believe in 2012. Not only that, but you're the only species on Earth that were able to make it possible, now we get to sit until we die because we couldn't get to Mars. We have failed as a society and don't deserve our gifts to survive for this long.

Nope. No one forgot.
On Topic: There used to be quite a few fights at my high school, but I only saw maybe a few fights that ended almost as quickly as they started. There's one I remember witnessing back several years ago. I was on the bus home from Middle School and after 2 students came out of the bus, they started to fight outside. Bus driver didn't do shit about it.

Some dickhead broke my glasses when I was going to band class. He knew I was in band, but didn't realize I can remember music after playing it for a few days. Told my band director about it and he told me I didn't have to get my trumpet out. I got it out anyway and played without missing a note.

The school violence thread
I can't remember the last time I've gotten into a fight.
My friends and I would have frequent wrestling bouts, being safer than throwing punches at each other.
Maybe it has something to do with my philosophy in that area. I never purposefully put myself in a position to start a violent conflict, if I'm in a conflict I will try to peacefully resolve it, If peace fails I take care of the opposition quickly and painfully. Some people have that build up phase, with the curses,insults, pushing, shoving. I simply strike down and never fight fair.
(I consider myself reserved and calm, but when I get angry in those very rare periods, I turn into some bloodthirsty demon intent on tearing your head off with my bare hands)
A friend or two had gotten into some fights. I found them comical, in a sense. There was the typical testosterone filled pushing, the loudly shouted curses and taunts and threats, the grappling and a punch or two. I find them to be so unrefined

RE: The school violence thread
Heh, school violence? In my experience, fights are quite common!
My district has a campus for freshmen, and in its first year, a teacher of mine told me that every day, there was at least one fight. It died down the year I went, but there was at least one fight every one or 2 week(s). Perhaps the most infamous one was where one kid punched a kid so hard that his eyes started bleeding.
I was once in a fight in the PE locker room, some kid kept calling me a fag (I hate people who use that word and "that's so gay!", can't believe school is laden with them), so I did the right thing: I punched him in the face. I didn't get any sort of punishment, since no adult saw it.
When I went to the main campus, there are fewer fights, but fights nonetheless. I remember seeing these kids arguing and then they started fighting.
Not only that, I'm not sure about other schools, but in my experience, there was always at least one fight at the last day of school. I was in my history class, and the teacher and a few other kids in that class started seeing the fight. It attracted a herd of kids.

The school violence thread
I remember there was a huge fight at my school. Well, it was after school but it was in the area involving only my school's students. I ignored it and kept on walking to the subway station while everyone ran to the fight like moths. I remember it being over something really stupid too (you know how these pseudo-gangster kids are). I think one kid call the other a butterfly and he got real upset about it and started throwing punches.
Parents talk about keep their kids safe from violence (NO VIDEO GAMES, LITTLE JIMMY!) and sheltering them and all that bullshit, but personally, School can be one of the most violent/scariest places you can be. Kids can gang up so it's a 4 on 1 fight. It's fucking stupid.

The school violence thread
One must educate themselves in the art of "ass-kicking" to even the odds, like doing your best to keep the larger group scattered(or distanced from another by even a little). And there's no such thing as fighting cheap. Aim for the throat, the eyes, the groin and bite if you find the perfect opportunity to. The human jaw is powerful. Plus, it's like biological warfare as well, since if you puncture the skin, there's a chance you'll infect them with something from your mouth.
It'll serve them right for trying to gang up on you...

Those are some pretty good tips. I could of actually used that, thing is, it would of proven more useful back in my elementary days. I haven't gotten into a fight in a long time. Everyone else in my school seems to be fueled by fights. It's just the mindless "beat the shit out of" mentality. They do it for fun, to prove how "tough" they are or if you look at them funny.

The school violence thread
I've usually dissuaded any fights from occurring through demonstration, like lifting a kid messing with me over my head, or flipping someone who was mock-fighting(also called horseplay) with me. Obviously news spread of these deeds. There was also a friend of mine who is physically stronger than I, yet when we were mock-fighting, I easily dazed him, which also spread.
I believe in the use of form and agility to be better in fights than brute force.

I usually stay away from the people who are most likely to start fights in the first place. I don't talk to that many people anyway. I couldn't be bothered and I think it's better this way.
That makes sense. It's better using your head rather than using brute force and exposing your weak points.

Need I remind how violent my school district is?
My friend told me (he's older, and he's graduated) that there was once a riot when he was in high school (I was in middle school at that time dealing with my own problems). There was a group of "psuedo-gangster" kids getting into a fight with another. One of them of group 1 played football, while another kid, shorter and weaker, basically, I'll say: kicked his (the football player) ass. The whole group started fighting, and friends of those gangster kids came in. Kids who had nothing to do with it all started fighting each other, it was a mess. Basically, it was my high school's version of say, the Los Angeles, London, or Paris riots.
Man, my high school is fucked up.

That's fucked up, dude! You almost make me glad to be attending my school (in terms of violence and whatnot). Lemme guess, do the teachers just brush it off and act like nothing happened or do they do something so entirely stupid that it's unheard of?

The school violence thread
Well, it happened during lunch. All the school's security guards had to deal with the overwhelming number of participants. I believed the police were called in to deal with it. I would believe some kids (assuming the guys that started it) were arrested, and the teachers probably had to talk about it during class, and moved on. People know about it, and it's a frequently talked about outside of school, but there's an unwritten rule that you don't talk about it.
Since then, no such incident that big has taken place. There's the usual "fight between 2 dumb kids" which attracts a herd of students, but no, a school riot has not happened since then, though I fear it may be inevitable.

RE: The school violence thread
If anyone needs to here more of the experiences I had to go through, then, I'm proud to share them.
At the middle school I used to go to, a bunch of boys once set the whole boys bathroom on fire. There was a big evacuation, and the firefighters came and had to extinguish the fire. One of the teachers was also helping the firefighters. The kids that did it were expelled. No way they could not get expelled with a prank like that. Another time, a bunch of other kids lit up a trash can. Also expelled.
And though not violence, it seemed every month or so someone would unleash stink bombs on the hallways. Everyone would go a bit mad when it happened.
And believe it or not, at one point, that middle school had a partial power failure (it only affected the school). The hallways were dark and so were the classrooms. Everyone was bumping into each other. I don't remember any violence, but kids would also go a bit crazy during that time. It was kinda like the 1977 New York blackout, just not really violent.
EDIT: I should also tell about the time at my freshman campus, just 5 minutes after I left school, apparently some guy crashed his car into 2 students. It was a shitstorm. The students were all right and only suffered minor injuries, but oh boy, were there rumors. There was talk that they were in "critical condition". Regardless, it also reminds me how messed up schools are where I live.

The school violence thread
In 2011, 20 percent of high school students were bullied at school, and 33 percent reported being involved in a physical fight in the last year.
In one month, nearly 6 percent of high schoolers stayed home because they felt unsafe at or on their way to school.
More than 7 percent of 9th through 12th graders reported being threatened or injured with a weapon on school property at least once in the last year. An additional 6 percent admitted to bringing a weapon to school for protection.
In 2010 there were more than 800,000 nonfatal school victimizations of children and teens ages 12 to 18. Almost 500,000 of these occurrences were thefts.
Risk factors for youth violence include violent histories, drug or alcohol use, poverty in the community, poor grades, association with troubled peers, and troublesome homelife.
Students aren’t the only ones in danger of school violence. Almost 7 percent of teachers reported being threatened or physically injured by a student from their school.
Only 39 percent of schools in the 2009-2010 school year took serious disciplinary action against a student for special offenses. Actions included out-of-school suspension, expulsion, or transfer to a specialty school.
In the U.S., 33 school-associated violent deaths occurred in the 2009-2010 school year including homicides, suicides, and legal interventions. 18 of these occurred on school property.
Youth and school violence can lead to depression, alcohol and drug use, suicide, anxiety, and fear.
In recent years, assault by weapon, cases of intimidation and bullying, and alcohol possession have all more than doubled on school properties.
Drug possessions at school more than doubled from 2005 to 2011. Teachers confirm that violence may not be spiking, but records are being kept much more accurately than in the past.

RE: The school violence thread
Not really violence, but worth posting.
Today, the school's internet, phone lines, and I believe possibly the security cameras all got hacked. The school kept trying to get it up and going, but each time they did it was once again hacked. A lot of paranoia was going on.

The school violence thread
What is school violence? School violence is any form of violent activity or activities inside the school premises. It includes bullying, physical abuses, verbal abuses, brawl, shooting etc. Bullying and physical abuses are the most common forms of violence that is associated with school violence. However extreme cases such as shooting and murder have also been listed as school violence. If you find it hard to believe then refer the examples of Columbine High School massacre in Colorado in 1999, Virginia Tech Massacre in 2007 etc. You will be stunned to find out that young students could go to such extremities.
There are many reasons for school violence. It is mainly because of bullies inside the school premises. These bullies try to dominate and tame other students which could end up in a fight that could go overboard. However bullies and arrogant children are not the only reasons for school violence to happen. Parents, teachers, school authorities and friends have their share in influencing school violence.

Yesterday, some kid actually lit up fireworks in the gym. I'm not even joking. I gotta admit it, that kid had some balls to actually even consider doing that.
