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.

Is your school unfair?

Well I decided that I didn't want to bump a almost 3 year old topic, so, is your school unfair?

Well, of course my school is unfair. Why wouldn't it be?

Mine didn't really suck. They changed the requirements for certain things, which makes me wonder why they even had the fucking requirements in the first place (they made them easier) if they're going to change their minds so easily.

Possibly, but what infuriates me much more is how I had to get a specific math to get into a program one year, and yet a year after that it said you would only require the math that I took already; it was forcing me for absolutely no reason.

Eh, at least you got the credits. Although you probably could've gotten them easier than by doing math, it's still free credits.

It's fair to some degree, but not pleasant. 'Course, there are the occasional teachers, paraprofessionals, and such who favor the "popular crowd". Other than that, it's tolerable. None

I see nothing wrong with that, its just less age segregation. Well... the segregated ages aren't as segregated.




And other then the usual formal bullshit my middle school was pretty ok.

There was a guy in my middle school...at the time I was in 7th grade and he was in 8th, so this happened like three or four years ago. He was a nice kid, he fit into the goth "stereotype" if I had to describe him, and he had a lot of friends and got along with most teachers and stuff. Most of our school year is in winter, and sometimes it can get quite chilly and wet, so he bought a leather trench coat. It wasn't anything ridiculous; it was just a plain, warm, black trench coat.

The principal approached him in the hallway and asked him not to wear it anymore because "that's not the image we want to promote".

That principal is just like almost all principals. Stereotyping by thinking that all goths and trenchcoat wearers are going to "pull a Columbine".
