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.

Well, I was in the band room during a free period. Some guy gave me oxy's which he said were 50 mg, and I said I'd pay him $20 later. So I went to the bathroom, and snorted one. Not much shit happened, so I looked online and these designs only had 5 mg of oxycodone. So I told him "fuck you" I'm not paying you, and then I chewed one, went to the band room, and crushed the other two with a trophy on a desk, and snorted them. There were many other people there, but I didn't think any of them would give a shit. Then this asshole anti-drug kid (who's the brother of a habitual pot smoker) comes and tells me to stop. I tell him "whatever, they were shitty pills", and blow the rest off the desk. I go to my US history class, and the shit starts kicking in. I feel GREAT. Not that I'm ever going to be able to do this shit in a long time. Then, I get a call from this school guy to come to the office, and bring my backpack. So I go. I sit for a while till the assistant principal is there, and he tells me that I apparently snorted oxy's in the band room. Still feeling good, I tell him it's a complete BS rumor because I assume there's no evidence at all.
Then he searches my shit, finds nothing, and takes me to the band room. I had some caffeine pills and benadryl in this other guy's locker, and I say that that might be the reason for the mistake. The nurse checks me out for heart rate and blood pressure, and then the counselor comes. I cry and give the counselor a BS story about how I keep getting calls to my parents worrying them about "rumors" (this happened for supposed (actual) alcohol possession too) and she does her job and comforts me. The assistant principal comes back and tells me that there were too many witnesses, and I either snorted oxy, or the caffeine pills. So I tell him I just crushed up the caffeine pills, and made a laughing comment about them being oxy's. Then, the guy calls my mom in, she agrees to have a 1 day suspension. Meanwhile, I talk to the counselor alone and tell her all the shit I want and that they were actually oxy's and whatever (I'm too fucked up to lie that much at this point). She then convinces me to tell my mom the truth, and then she does.
I just finished my day, my dad was completely messed up (he was almost going insane) and then it was complete shit. Unbelievable shit.
If only I snorted them all in the bathroom.
Because of my suspension, I cannot go to districts. Fuck me

A 1-day vacation suspension for doing drugs openly? Man, your school staff are bitches.

Dear Tumblrites:Despite your wrongly self-diagnosedPTSD, no line ofscientific evidencesuggests people can be triggered over theinternet. Triggering works through thesenses(i.e. smell, taste, touch, vision, hearing.) but it goes throughreal time; if you're not experiencing it in real life as it'sACTUALLY HAPPENINGin yourACTUALlife, youCANNOTbe triggered. The only exception to this is if you have aseizure, but then again, that's triggered byepilepsy(i.e. rapidly-changing flashing lights)NOT PTSD. Remembering a bad incident is NOT the same thing as having aflashback. When you remember, youthink; when youflashback,youfeel.

Wow dude..that sucks. I would be pissed off too if some faggot dobbed me in. I don't understand why people have the need to do that, does it make them feel better about themselves or something? Maybe they feel like a "good citizen" but in reality they're fucking ignorant, selfish faggots.
Well, hopefully your parents understand...but I doubt it, just be super nice to them or something idk. But you shouldn't have told the counselor anything. They're bullshit, especially the school ones, usually they aren't to be trusted. Also, what are districts?

A band program in which you go to a place with other good students- I auditioned and got in.
I can trust the counselors- here IMO they are really nice and actually want to help you (you can tell)
I have to talk to a substance abuse counselor, my parents are sending me to a doctor and shit and I'm probably gonna be put on anti-depressents and my dad won't FUCKING STOP talking to me he's there every second lecturing not even yelling it's a pain in the ass
I call bullshit. There is no way you snorted a class two controled substance in a room full of people and only landed a one day suspension. Even with only the witness reports, you would've been dragged out of the school in cuffs.
They claimed it was oxy, but I said it was caffeine, and I am such a good honors kid that they never would have believed it was actually oxy and there were caffeine pills in a band room locker anyway

YOU'RE DOING DRUGS? YOU MUST BE A DEPRESSED TORTURED SOUL, LET'S PUT YOU ON OTHER DRUGS SO YOU STOP TAKING THE DRUGS WE DON'T LIKE!
It doesn't matter. The suspicion alone of drug use would warrant a police visit, locker search and drug test. And even if they were just caffeine pills you still would've been in trouble not just for using them to mimic drug use, but for having them on campus in the first place. Schools have zero tolerance policies when it comes to pills of any kind. When I was in school girls were suspended for carrying Midol around in their purses.

No kidding, behavioral meds are a total joke. What's really bad is when a child Psych. finds symptoms of some small/miniscule diagnosis and gives some high-power mood-meds to treat it.
Also, moral of the story? When doing drugs in the band room, make sure you're alone.

I've seen so much shit done to youth and for some reason, this has made me angrier than I've felt in years. Abuse and oppression happens all over the world. It's a terrible reality of modern society, but we've all accepted that it happens and we're doing what we can to fight it and build a better world.
But this...this mindless, condescending disrespect toward people who have no legal voice with which to defend themselves, this reduction of parents' betrayal into a cheap crack about kids being computer-savvy...it's like watching a surgeon joke about life insurance while his patient bleeds to death on the operating table. The media's job is to protect society from oppression and they've drawn a clear line between the people worth protecting and the people that don't matter. How can they people sleep at night?
You're a journalist. DO. YOUR. FUCKING. JOB.

Lol anti-depressants are recreational drugs too... People are so goddamn retarded. I remember a couple years ago when my mom suggested I take anti-depressants instead of smoking weed because weed is bad or something.
Also, you took a couple oxy, and that automatically makes you a substance abuser, so now you have to go listen to some uptight person out of touch with reality that is going to destroy your self-esteem and make you feel like an idiot.
Ha, I wished my mom made "suggestions" about weed.
Fuck you comrade, I'm jealous. Still, that much oxy and I'd end up doing it every day = not good
I don't think it's possible to live in society with my parents and do drugs. It's impossible, and illegal, and with them around, I will be fucked. I'll wait till I'm in college or better yet when I live on my own

Just limit the drugs you do, go do some real stuff..take up a hobby, go camping, fishing for something..anything else that must interest you. Then when you're in a better mindset, take up some druggas.

Uh, sounds like you have some serious issues. I think you should undergo therapy.
