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.

Wait a minute..what the hell just happened?

So we have people ranting and raving about how school is so bad. We have stories of protest. How about hearing some stories of specific bad events? Don't limit it to school. I have parents who are assholes too.

To start it off:
Last year there was an LA teacher who joked around with her students and almost everybody liked her. Almost. For some unfathomable reason, she decided to pick on a select group of students, one of which was me. Anyway, one day I was waiting in the lunch line for my serving of glop. The aforementioned teacher decided to have lunch from the lunch line too. She muscled her way into line directly in front of me. I knew her as a joker, but was unsure if she was joking or not, so I resisted her shoving. She left abruptly, and I didn't know what to think. I finished getting my lunch. As I was walking to a table, the vice principle motioned for me to come talk to him. He then proceeded to lecture me on how my behavior was considered "assualt" and how that kind of behavior could be reported the police. He left me standing there confused. I walked back to my table and ate my lunch. I looked over a few muntes later and saw the vp and the teacher looking at me and laughing. For the rest of that year, the same teacher picked on me, called my parents and reported that I was being "lethargic" in class whenever I wasn't looking at her, and basically was an asshole to me for the whole year. She SCREAMED at me on several occasions, although she never told me what she was specifically screaming about. Just what the hell is going on? School in general is pretty bad, and now we have teachers holding grudges on students for no apparent reason.

Sorry if this was a little long.

"Lethargic" huh :biggrin: two years ago I had a teacher who called me "lethargic boy" as a nickname, I hated it. You know what would be weird? If it was the same teacher! She is somewhere in California right?

Actually, I like all cheese except string cheese. And, the evil teacher was in Colorado. I won't mention her name, she might hunt me down and kill me. I know too many James's.
