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.

Would you mind elaborating instead of just being negative?
Would you mind elaborating instead of just being negative about someone else not elaborating?

1. Life is not fair. Get used to it.
Bullshit, rather that taking it up to ass you should stand up against unfairness. Just whining... IMO... seems to be better than taking it up the ass. At least if you're whining about the right shit. Except it can get people to hate you and your point. Eh.

2. The real world won't care as much as your school does about your self-esteem. It'll expect you to accomplish something before you feel good about yourself.
Meh. THE REAL WORLD IS WATCHING YOU
I think it's fucking bullshit in so many levels, I see it as the opposite. School doesn't give a shit about your self-esteem or what you think of their bullshit, but self-esteem, meh. Is good for jobs and shit, but, just, meh.

3. Sorry, you won't make sixty thousand dollars a year right out of high school. And you won't be a vice president or have a company car. You may even have to wear a uniform that doesn't have a designer label
True, and cool story bro.

4. You are not entitled...
Lol wut? Neither are you. Entitled to what? Free speech? Money? Fucking bullshit, I'll do the best to get what I think I need without fucking other people over... too much?

5. No matter what your daddy says, you are not a princess...
lol

6. No, you cannot be everything you dream...
lol. Obvious, sadly, meh.

7. If you think our teacher is tough, wait until you get a boss. He won't have tenre, so he'll tend to be a bit edgier. When you screw up, he's not going to ask you how you FEEL about it.
Neither does a fucking teacher. What the fuck is tenre? And your teacher? Plural "you"? So more than one asshole is writing these rules?

8. Your navel is not that interesting. Don't spend your life gazing at it.
wuts a navel

9. Your school may have done away with winners and losers. Life hasn't.
Cool story bro.

10. Life is actually more like dodgeball than your gym teacher thinks.
Cool story bro. Though I kind of agree. Meh. Not that you should fuck other people over for your own gain when they're not trying to fuck you over.

11. After you graduate, you won't be competing against rivals who were raised to be wimps on the playground.
Cool story bro

12. Humiliation is a part of life. Deal with it.
Cool story bro

13. You're not going to the NBA, so hold off on the bling and spare us the attitude.
Glorious exposition, comrade!

14. Looking like a slut does not empower you.
Riveting tale, chap.

15. Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping. They called it opportunity.
...I actually quite agree with this. To a point. As long as it's temporary, and after all, SOMEONE has to flip burgers.

Anyway, I'm bored, and I have to do my English and US History homework.
