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.

Now it's the place where Americans imprison each other.
Still not much of an improvement.

Re: Walkouts are illegal?

Gold is overrated, besides being rustproof and easy to melt. So 'civilization' has found a stupid use for a stupid material.
I shall remind you that natives didn't even think of gold as of anything valuable, they were like 'whatever, just some shiny plastic crap'.

Re: Walkouts are illegal?

I was just quoting a funny Onion news network report on the fake "MacBook Wheel", just seeing if anyone would catch onto it. I think macs are alright, really, but they don't support the programs I use as extensively.

Anyways, so we're not totally off topic, I'll just say Walkouts shouldn't be illegal at all.

Re: Walkouts are illegal?

Sup guise. I didn't read the thread, just the OP.

If all you do is legal things, you're never going to make any freaking progress.

I'd guess that the reason walk-outs would be against the rules is that the athortahs at the school are supposed to know where you are at every moment, so you aint spozeda leave bitch brat.

I think. I think that. I think that everyone should just not go to school. Just stop going. Shit might happen. Oh well.

Re: Walkouts are illegal?

yep i think i heard they were illegal somewhere. i know someone who walked out of school during lunch (Denny's had this free grand slam thing during school hours) and she got 3 days AC [had to stay after for 3 extra hours] because the security camera's caught her leaving the building.

Re: Walkouts are illegal?

Wow. It's insane that some kid shot himself over the consequences. That's strange, because in my school your allowed to walk out without even telling anybody. And you don't get in trouble.
But like all control, fuck this. Theres a bigger picture at hand. We can focus on details, but we really aren't getting the root of the problems. Things are only going to get worse, things have gotten worse.

To be an anarchist, is to suffer greatly. To be a black woman is to suffer secretly. To be the earth, is to suffer silently.

I wish no harm on anyone, but those whose harmful ways will not stop without the same harm.

It's time we kill this cancerous system, before it kills us and everything left of gaia. Rise from our immaturity and take back our autonomy!

Re: Walkouts are illegal?

I had about 9 unexcused absences and I got a letter from a truancy officer threatening to send me to juvie. If you plan a walkout, you will definately need lots of kids to agree. The government can easily take away one, but if you had a large group of rebellious kids, the government school system will have a major problem on it's hands. All I'm saying is don't do it alone.

VIVA LA REVOLUTION BITCHES!!!!!!

Now, that's a bump there.

But imagine how adults would complain about that "chaos" if everybody, I mean it, every student out there would simply walk out on the same day. I can see press titles already: "Mass rebelion or a Coincidence?". Lol

I fucking dream of a day when we're ready for that to happen. It would be fucking awesome, and they would fucking have to do something. Strangely enough, this just inspired me to write.

Also, how the fuck do you bump a sticky? That's impossible. The point of a sticky is to ensure that it isn't buried and is perma-bumped.

Re: Walkouts are illegal?

If thousands upon thousands of children were to walkout of public school, the government is going to show constant tv commercials using crying children as props so they can get more tax money(or stolen money depends on how you want to word it) to pay for schools. However, I believe if today's government education system was to collapse for good, our government would be overthrown within a generation. Children will start thinking again and they won't tolerate the system we have today. If our education system was to still exist in about 50 years. America will be a combination of Nazi Germany and the U.S.S.R. Don't worry though, people and especially children are waking up. The shit will hit the fan soon.

Re: Walkouts are illegal?

I'm pretty sure the american public, as stupid as everyone thinks they are, are smart enough to know a strike when they see one. If we do a mass walkout and state, on the record, to the news interviewers that we want change and explain our point of view, everyone would realize that funding isn't the issue.
