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 quickest way to kill a revolution is to wait for it.

Those fucking shitheads! Since when the FUCK does the the constitution not apply to minors? Besides I see conflicting data, last year in my health class they showed us the statistics of the percent of people who've used drugs at least once, in the US. And I think it was about nine percent. So FUCK THEM! Those ageist litttle fuckfaces!!!

...please note my information might be wrong. The reason they gave us the statistics were to show us that "Not 'everybody's doing drugs'" I dunno, I think those fascist little shits had it in their heads that "Kids only do drugs because the want to be 'in'"
Yeah fucking right, when I was 11, in 6th grade, my friend Shelby was being a dumbass (Pyro you know THIS rant) and bragging to the entire school me and her smoked..... then when these 7th grade little bitches started making fun of her. She'd start crying and go to the principal's office. (Why the fuck is 'pal' in principal?  ) So my point: drugs aren't 'in' you fucking retards....
...Well at my school.

yah i know remeber after our winter band concert she started crying because her parents found out she was taking pot, and claimed her dad beat her with a wire hanger.
we all dont do drugs, my borther smoked before we moved to calm himself of his extreme anger at my parents for separating him from his friends.
im not smoking because im in group who doesnt have to fit in to be in the group. i hang around a lot of smokers, but i never have been peer pressured. The first time i was at fons old house, she blew a huge smoke cloud by me, and i almost puked and went outside and grabbed a huge chunk of snow and ate it. She diodnt see me though.

Nobody, she was lying. Read my post to get the "who"

Peer presssure is a myth. Shut up. Sure there's the occasional idiot that will get a little angery or annoyed if you don't conform to their standards. And the only reason anyone would do drugs becuase some one threatened them with the "I won't be your friend any more" petty bullshit, are the ignorant, egoistic ones that need a little pot to chill out anyway.
And yes, I did see you. I WAS OUTSIDE TOO, DUMBASS! Jesus, your memory sucks.

17 percent of students have brought a weapon? BULLSHIT!
That's mostly because of the STUPID zero tolerance rules, so the weapons in questions could be squirt guns, airsoft guns or a friggin piece of paper folded in half!

Peer pressure isn't a myth it's just hard to see. People aren't actually coming up to you and saying "Hey buddy it's cool to take drugs, here have some." It's an invisible force shaped by advertising and fads. Most people consider themselves unique and individual but most aren't. "Non-conformity" is the new conformity. But not everything is due to peer pressure.

They are at my school. People come in to class talking about that awesome kegger they had on the weekend. It's a given that there's going to be pot there. That's I don't go to parties, all they do is binge drink and get high.

Welcome to America, land of the people who are ignorant, egotistical, and need a little pot to chill out anyway.
