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.

well we're not talking about fighting are we? he meant sitting around in a protest and just letting them beat the crap out of you. i'll only fight for freedom if i'm at least allowed to defend myself. otherwise it's suicide.
I think Buenaventura Durruti is a pretty cool guy. eh kills fascists and doesnt afraid of ruins.
The quickest way to kill a revolution is to wait for it.

They would have no right to beat the crap out of you if you were having a peaceful protest. We have a right to assemble.
They shouldn't kill us if we are doing what we are entitled to do...

they shouldn't, but that doesn't mean they won't. killing protestors isn't legal but it's still happened.

But the problem is THERE'S NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE to protest. We are invincible in the large population of school students. Like 0.00001% of them.
We are also from different countries making it almost impossible for us to unite.
First, we should HEAL THE BRAINWASHED YOUTHS in our community. Do everything you can - spread this website and our articles. Spread da magic words.
There's a lot of way to spread the words, but you got to be brave and smart enough :
- anonymously write it on the white board
- write it in toilet doors in your school
- put some copies of our articles at the bus stands, at attractive places in your school or outside
Make sure they receive our message. Remind them of homework and forced learning that they hate so much. Make them go wild. Only then we will have enough ppl to protest
I've spent 10 years in school. This is my last year

Whenever I take a crap at school I write all over the toilet stall. This one time I wrote an essay about age segregation on pieces of toilet paper and stuck it on the wall.
In other news...
Yeah, we need to get da magic words out. Some random thoughts I have: stickers, shirts, hats, posters, hijacking announcements/assembly, anti-school books left in library.

GREAT IDEA!!!
I highly suggest Mobb Deep's albums The Infamous and Hell on Earth, if you have not listened to it yet.

School is too well concreated to abolish it it's built on years and years of "Education"
So changing it seems to be the best option
The World seemed to all make sense but that sense seemed to slowly fade now in 11th grade

The government doesn't care about us,they just care about the money and not looking corrupt so not enough people can bring them down.
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. Maybe this is why dinosaurs are extinct, we sure aren't any better than the dirt you say we're created from. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pla...DvwSOFto#!
