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.

My back to school

I am going back to school now so I don't have as much free time as I did before. As soon as I got in the building I noticed the normal things such as administrators yelling and herding us like we were cattle or something. On my bus my bus driver who I was cool with got his route changed so I don't see him but my sister does which sucks. I only got one class but the lady is a crazy black kind of lady who yells at everybody but likes me because I'am quiet. We get out at 9.21 AM which is cool but they pretty much chase us out the school and I got no car so I walk home. Its just I feel the supression in the air around us. The teachers yelling and threatening us are apparent. Thanks to my stupid job I don't feel like rebeling anymore I mean I think the same way I normally do its just I feel like this is the way things are get used to it get used to it. Well at least I'am not there till 2.15 like everybody else. Heh I find it kinda funny That I wanted to leave school all last year and now they pretty much rush us out now. It sucks that until my mom goes back to work in 2 weeks I cannot get on here that much anymore because I planned to sneak to the school librairy.

I'am in a program and since I passed some bullshit tests I get out at 9.21 am So I can laugh at the others in the program who get out at 11:30 (normal outtime is 2:15). My stupid job is winndixie. Eh could be worst I could be working for free at a camp with people who haze me and treat me like a pack mule.
