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.

...It has begun
So, I'm back in school again for another year of hell. Started on Tuesday. The second half of my day actually isnt that bad, it's the first half that I can't stand. I don't know anybody in my 1st and 2nd hour, one the classes seems like it's going to be really, really unenjoyable (Marketing - I have to do some stuff I really don't want to do like stay after school some day to work in the school store. Ugh). Anyway, like I said, I don't know anybody and everyone in there is a grade above me and all of them, and I mean all of them, are the kind of people I have no interest in whatsoever. Their all joking with eachother and stuff too, and I'm just kinda sitting there going "Uhh, I don't feel right here". It just sucks, the class, the people in it, everything. Then my next class is a boring literature class (I enjoy reading and writing though so maybe something good will come of it). Any tips on how to get through these hours faster and easier? How I can just be confident with everything and not care about these people and just get through it.
Is there anyone else who can just tell the year is going to suck?
Sometimes I feel I'm getting stuck. Between the handshake, and the fuck!

my teacher is a total whore...
math...SUCKS ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!
some pregnant black bitch for a student teacher harrasses me all the fucking time...
ill be sitting there doing work and shell come up and say "do I need to call you mom for not doing work?!"
and I looked down and my math teacher was like "MAXX NO SLEEPING!" and she said it really loud in that tone of voice that demeans you in every way...i think thats one of the courses they take becoming a teacher "how to make students embarrassed"

You know what really fucking pisses me off? When in my classes I don't know anybody, and in the classes I do have friends (which amazingly campared to last year is a lot) but then teachers sit you on the opposite fucking side then your friend. And they sit you next to people you can't fucking stand, all because some people like to talk.

my teachers gave homework on the first day, and the school is so fucked up with contruction that you can't find you way around and teachers all give you different directons, and you can get in huge trouble for wearing a hat or using electronics during lunch. enough said.

BigWolf Wrote:I overstand everything ya'll are going through.
I'm in advanced classes, so I'm stuck with people in upper classes. i.e. I don't know anyone.
Teachers are bitches, but that's because they're human. How retarded they may be, overstand that they're only human and that they are very capable of unjust punishments, and maybe even change. What I can say is, don't give them a reason to yell at you, and when you KNOW they are punishing you unjustly, point it out, ask very specific questions concerning your nice, yell in the face. Outsmart them at their own game, just don't curse and whatnot, eventhough I'm sure you all know that, you all read the Guide.
And how accurate I think your descriptions are, I can't help but think your descriptions are biased, in fact I'm pretty sure they are. You must've done something to provoke them, probably not something to receive the punishment that you did receive, but that's all the teachers really need.
And I'm NOT saying conform, just don't rebel senselessly.
Peace,
Wolf
P.S. I know I'm a n00b here, and I probably shouldn't be giving you advice on rebelling against your school and teachers, but I have lived it, so I'll try to help as much as I can without sacrificing my humility. If I sound like a jackass n00b, please tell me, I don't want to be a hypocrite, I've recently become VERY annoyed at n00bs on another forum that I've been going to for a few years, so I don't want to turn around and do the same thing.
