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 sheer stupidity of ID's

I hate my school so much, with it's authoritarian teachers and flat out ridiculous rules. Every day when my science class starts my science teacher (who is such a bitch!) makes sure we all have our ID's on, even once we're inside the fucking classroom, like she doesn't know our faces or something. I can understand wearing ID's outside of class, or keeping them on you in case you need them, but this is just fucking stupid...I honestly can't see any reason making us wear ID's INSIDE the classroom (are the teachers so crappy that they couldn't tell if someone that doesn't belong is in the classroom? And who the hell would sneak into a school to go to class???) The only conclusion I can draw is that the administration is a bunch of authoritative pricks, hell bent on making us suffer...I once refused to put my ID on in my science class, telling her she knows who I am and that I'm not a threat to security, and that I was keeping my ID in my pocket where it belongs. So she called the office and they sent the school cop, the ninth grade principal, and two other cunts I don't know by name to escort me to the office. I then got in school suspension for three days, and they called my parents, which didn't help matters. These rules are just idiotic...don't even get me started on the uniform rules....if your shirt isn't tucked in they bitch you out like...I don't even know what it's like, it's stupidity/power tripping at it's finest...

And we have to wear a belt...what the fuck? I don't wear fucking belts! If they don't want us to sag, THEN TELL US NOT TO SAG, DON'T MAKE UP SOME STUPID RULE TO MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER ABOUT YOURSELF WHEN YOU YELL AT THE STUDENTS YOU SHOULD BE TEACHING!!

Whatever, none of these rules apply to me because most days I wear a jacket and they're too stupid to check under it...I had to get this out because no one else at my school gives a fuck that they abuse the hell out of their power, all they care about is their grades and their popularity...

No, this is Patrick.

RE: The sheer stupidity of ID's

Fuck they need IDs to know who the hell you are?

Oh my god..... this is beyond stupidy. Well if the students numbers are like 40, 50, maybe IDs would be necessary, a least for the most forgetful teachers. But if it's like 20, 15, then your teachers are fuckin stupid.

How many students are on your classes?

RE: The sheer stupidity of ID's

My high school started saying you had to display your id all the time the last month that I was there. People usually didn't follow that rule because they just weren't used to it and god it's so invasive, just like people who work in wal-mart don't want to wear their name tags, because then the customers are more likely to harrass you.

The idea, I guess, is that it's to make sure there aren't any strangers in the school? I don't know why they give a shit about that, though. I really don't. But anyway, that's the idea, and then they just go fucking crazy overboard with it. But that's how they do everything.

Welcome to the club. I had the exact same problem at my school. So I cut my ties with the system.

http://www.lpssonline.com/site48.php Maybe you can find something about the uniforms on there. If not just google public school uniforms because I assure you many public schools make the students wear uniforms.

My school was a government school too, and they did the shit with ID's. My brother's elementary school was a gubment school and they had to wear uniforms. Whether to impose uniforms is decided by the PTA or some shit of each school.

RE: The sheer stupidity of ID's

Whoever said wearing IDs keeps you safe is a fucking moron and any parents who believed that shit is even dumber. I was lucky to only wear them during high school but I also had a few fakes too(joys of knowing the right people).

Same in england. I think there might be about 2 schools in the uk where you can wear jeans with a white shirt. But every school has a uniform- it is really annoying.

But ID's?? I have never heard of a school having ID's.

RE: The sheer stupidity of ID's

Our school is considering uniforms. I will crap a castle if they do this and refuse to go. I've had to put up with enough bullshit as it is. I don't need this shit, what's worse, is that my dad whole-heartedly supports this. Fuck this. Fuck school.

People say the problem with me is I have psychotic tendencies and care not about other human beings I don't like and or know. So?

Not as bad as my school. They've forbidden anything with any holes in it, and won't admitt to what it includes (ex: pants, worth the detentions to say it though).
No uniform though, because we have a "right to express ourselves".

Freedom is never given; it is always taken. So for the fact that you're not a slave, don't thank those in authority. Thank someone with a "bad attitude."

Go to work. Send your kids to school. Follow fashion. Act normal. Walk on the pavement. Watch TV. Save for your old age. Obey the law. Repeat after me: "I am free."
