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.

-SoulRiser

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.

You know what I hate?!?!

When my teachers tell my parents that "She's a smart girl, but she doesn't apply herself. Thats why she's failing".

T~T Even though I'm failing because the teachers don't know what the hell they are doing. So now its /all/ my fault that im failing. All my fault.

I used to /try/ to apply myself. I really did. But you know what? It didn't work because I had a lot of home work to "apply myself to" all at once. I had all the shit that my parents told me to do to deal with, and all of the crap that comes with being a struggling teenage in highschool.

!!!!!!!!!!

You're not.
I get the same kinda shit from my family. It goes a little something like "Eden, you're a very smart girl but you need to stay focused during class. Just try harder."
I'VE BEEN GETTING A's AND B's SINCE PREP!! WHAT THE FUCK ELSE DO YOU WANT FROM ME!?!

Jesus fuck, I try, but it's a struggle when the way the school attempts to teach me bores me to tears.

It's not so much "teaching", as it is raping your brain by forcing you memorize the same crap over and over again.

And the only thing their tests are really based on is how much of said crap you can remember, and how long you can remember it.

Unfortunately for me, if I really don't care about it, I usually don't remember it.

Just a term I use.

Ya can't call it brainwashing, cause with brainwashing, they disguise everything as useful information.

With brain-raping, they just tell you the same thing over and over again until you accept it.

.. yeah, my teachers also often told me that I'm smart and therefore should do well in school if I just put in some effort. Yeah. I'd prefer to use my brainpower on stuff that actually means something to me though, and didn't want to waste my energy on schoolwork. So I did the bare minimum Biggrin (2000 was my last year of hell, er I mean school. Lucky me Biggrin )

he means he'd accept I'm but not i'm since the letter I (i) should always be capitalized when it defines yourself, thus 'imagine' wouldn't be capitalized, except that's the name of a lennon song, so perhaps...

you get the idea.
