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.

They gonna have to wait 'til we get it right

"Want evidence of how deeply we've allowed the media to define our beauty? Look in the mirror. How many of you honestly believe in your own essential beauty? Isn't it wrong that we have let the bastards define human beauty for us, instead of encouraging us to look within each other for it?"

I don't trust those apples. They'll kill be faster than the cookies probably. Probably have tiny, tiny amounts of poison in them.

The Ranting thread!

Basically this is a place where you can bitch about what pisses you off in your day.
I made this place for people like rebelnerd who are looking for a place to talk about problems, thoughts and whatever.
I Have plenty to rant about but even though we have a voices section I don't want to waste posting repeatedly.
Ok I will start and when you write or list you complaints try to number them like....

1. Even though I talked to my mother and found out she was jealous of my dad and step mom and we got over that problem she still keeps her I'am the master and you are the slave attitude.

2. My teacher tries to milk money from us to feed the poor (Its bullshit and its for a grade). I refused to pay for it so I got an F and since this program can kick me out for no fucking reason whatsoever And I paid for my test I have to take to graduate already (50 dollars) I have to contend with her bullshit till I take this test.

3. A person bothers me because he said I potrayed him as an asshole when its just because I don 't
anything about him.

4. It seems like school survival is becoming like school because it has people constantly calling you idiot, homo or some other thing because of whatever and the veterens always seem to be right like the populars. (Don't kill me!!)

5. Everybody in my family wants somebody to lean on and they all want me to be there for them when I didn't ask for this!!

6. Because of my sleep apnea (I stop breathing while I sleep and it keeps me up all night) I feel more and more tired during the day. Normally I dellt with it because I had a nice bed but since my grandma Got sick she has taken my room and I have to sleep on this hard ass floor which now not only denies me sleep but my body feels twisted and in pain all the time.

7. My job is cutting the hell out of our hours and my mother keeps taking more and more money from me so I'am always broke. (I'am trying to get a second job and I will try taking money out of my check again)

8. My mom thinking I'am stinking up the room and is so dumb to not admiting that my grandma does it.

9. My dad for being manipulative. I know he is planning something for me and something in my gut doesn't like it..
No


I guess that is it for now...

I'm a very simple person. Thus, I have a very simple rant.

Restaurants with "cash only". What the fuck? People are less likely to come with cash than they are with their cards. IDIOTS.

1. my goddamn tech project is the most fucked up, unstable, unreliable, nonworking piece of shit ever created. and it was due yesterday. and it's half our quarter grade. why the fuck couldn't we use pieces not made by FisherTech? their building kids suck! and why can i always build sweet stuff EXCEPT when it actually counts? i mean i made a goddamn crossbow for fun but when a grade's involved i can't even get a fucking marble sorter to work.

2. an article about student rights got censored from the school newspaper by our dumbass principal. they may even censor my political cartoon (probably because it's too political). just fucking great.

3. they're making us do dancing in PE. i wish we were still doing archery so i could shoot myself in the foot and not have to dance. nothing's better than the partner-choosing ritual to let you know girls think you're a crazy loser. on girl told me to "loosen up." yeah, fucking easy for you to say. you don't have the word terrorist tatooed to your forehead.

4. my math grade this quarter sucks, not failing but the closest i've ever gotten for a class average. it will drag everything down, and i realized i was less worried about my academic career than about how my parents would react. great fucking incentive. i just don't care anymore.

5. i cannot for the life of me make a good parallel park. and my driver ed teacher got all pissed because i almost got bumped by another car while trying and my concentration got all fucked up for the rest of the lesson.

6. every time i pull out Dune to read in during my lunch period (because it's the best fucking scifi book EVER) the bell rings a minute later and i have to stop right in the middle of an awesome part. so much for escaping reality through reading.

7. got another psychiatrist appointment next thursay. they've gotta wave their school shooting gieger counter around my head and see how fast it clicks.

8. i hate people who put those buttons on their backpacks with the swastika in the red circle with the line through it and call themselves politically active. oooh, you hate Nazis! way to go out on a fucking limb there! be careful you may draw some heat for showing an opinion that controversial!

9. fatass teachers who walk really slowly through the halls, holding up everyone on their way to class. it's not just the lateness that bother me, its just the sheer, total ignorance towards the students. they're not trying to be mean, it's just that it never enters their minds that they should actually go out of their way to help us. since they don't have a deadline, they simply can't understand that we do. after all, we're just students. why should they bother speeding up for a bunch of subhuman cattle? sheer, complete apathy. and it drives me insane.

10. i'm visiting my dad's family in philadelphia this weekend, and i heard that my cousin who's in middle school was getting bullied by other kids. oh my fucking god, if they weren't girls i'd feed them through a goddamn wood chipper.

I think Buenaventura Durruti is a pretty cool guy. eh kills fascists and doesnt afraid of ruins.

People at my school do this all the time and it's annoying as hell. I have bought shirts from hot topic, but I bought them because I like them, not to fight corporations.

Mark that off your list of tick-offs bruthah. You just gotta learn to channel the stereotypes into funny jokes that hurt nobody's feelings except the nameless comedian you steal them from!

I was mostly talking about the people who think that just because I am a redneck, I live in a trailer park, am a racist, listen to nothing but really old country music, drink beer all the time ,and think bass pro shop is my home away from home.(some people actually do think that way about me)

Those "you might be a redneck" jokes are funny as hell

No zero I was refering to the kirby and well mostly other people but kirby kinda sums it up.


1. My sister's baby (My niece is sick and that pisses me off)
2. I think more and more about how the only way the world could be a better place is to kill all humans on earth and start over and thats when I realise that I'am going insane.
3. My step dad took my crowbar from me again telling me what would happen if my brother who sister got it and hurt themselves.
4. I took a magazine personality test and my results pissed me off.
On the surface you seem like an intelligent person with a kind heart but beneath that surface a sinister force is at work. You don't care who you have to use whether it be family, friend or lover to get your way but a terrible end awaits people like you.
