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.

I get to graduate a half-year early.
My friend and I went down to guidence yesterday and they told us we had enough credits to graduate halfway through senior year if we wanted. We obviously jumped at the chance and everything is in motion. We're setting up our schedules for next year and the following half, which will mostly consist of electives and maybe one or two required classes. I'm so happy.
I'm back~

Congrats girl.
Try to not look at the diploma when they give it to you with contempt like I did though.

RE: I get to graduate a half-year early.
Congratulations Thade, you received a get out of jail card early. I could graduate at the end of this year if I wanted to. I'll be staying for my senior year though so I can knock out some courses I'd have to take eventually in community college anyway through dual enrolment for free and to continue strengthening my improving yet still dismal social skills. Save up all the work from now until graduation, and then set up a massive bonfire. 
Who am I? Who are YOU?
