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.

...We ALL have to play by the rules...

The whole quote:

Quote:Why do some parents feel that have to support EVERY decision their child makes even if it's the wrong one. Parents need to teach their children that we ALL have to play by the rules and sure helps them to learn self-discipline.

It was in response to this article:

Quote:http://gma.yahoo.com/blogs/abc-blogs/col...-news.html

I'd totally support my daughter. It is tasteful, unique, beautiful. People get jealous and then want to take some ridiculous moral stance.

As for the quote: Bullshit. You choose to follow silly inane rules. That is your issue not mine. Forcing children (though the girl is not a child but an adult) to follow arbitrary rules prepares them to be ruled.

*opens link
thank you for lowering my faith in humanity even more

It seems like all the comments are full of bullshit. I could rage so badly and this and rant like a madman but... I'll just try to take my mind off it

Skimming through I read a comment: "HURR IF ERRYONE WAS ALOW TO EXPRESS THEMELF THEN ALL THE MALES WOULD FLIP OF THE CAMERA"
If they did, they obviously would have a reason for it, dumbass

Not like I'd give a shit about the stupid yearbook if I was her, though

Its sad that most comments i saw are supporting the principle and the others who didn't allow her to have the photo in the yearbook.Its shows that people are brainwashed.

Put me in a room full of people, how the fuck can I be lonely ?

RE: ...We ALL have to play by the rules...

Are you serious? Damn it, it is her decision, not one of that damn principal or the editor team. Also, 3/4 of the comments I read where really stupid. "oh my gawsh my mom wouldn't allow that..." etc, as THE FUCK I WOULD CARE. Also, I don't care if a scarf is to cover the body or keep "a female warm" (you know, also males wear scarfs)...

Damn, this really makes me want to resolve in violence.

RE: ...We ALL have to play by the rules...

I opened that link and my IQ dropped by about 20.

If I had a daughter I'd support her in every decision, a parent can be both a parent and a friend. I came home with a green fringe late at night and they say it looks nice. My parents don't take control of my life like some of the people I know... my philosophy is my actions my consequences.

The more parents that act like robotic parental units then god help the next few generations.

RE: ...We ALL have to play by the rules...

HERE COMES THE MORALFAG!

She wants to dress like a tramp that's her prerogative. Ditto with taking photos. But it's not just her personal yearbook that those photos will show up in. It's everyones, and some people aren't going to want that as a memory of their days in school. This is evidenced by the fact that the people who rejected her photo in the first place were not the school admins but the student editors.

She's trying to use the threat of a lawsuit to push her definition 'racy' and 'appropriate' on her classmates. If I were a student in her school I would stage a boycott just for that.

And yes, everyone in life has to follow some rules. Don't like that? Then take a page from shotgun's book and run away to the wilderness.

RE: ...We ALL have to play by the rules...

The lawsuit is stupid. I agree there.

Tramp? I mean, none of use can really say what she is thinking. Maybe she was raised in a household that celebrates the human form. I doubt it and she is probably just trying to get attention but do we know? Nah.

Wasn't this just for her own photo? The one everyone gets? If so then I think it is fine. If she was trying to get her own pages then yes I agree with you.

RE: ...We ALL have to play by the rules...

It doesn't matter if it's her own personal photo. She's still trying to force it into a book that everyone is going to have to pay $50 - $75 for. Unless you're going to do a specialized yearbook for each student, they should be able to decide whats in it.

And yes unless shes wearing that outfit to the beach, she's dressed like a tramp.

So, since it's her yearbook also, she gets a say in what goes in it. And that say is her picture.

It's totally fuck unfair that she can get kicked out of the yearbook that's just as much hers as anyone else's. If other people don't like her picture, they can cover it up or tear out that page after they get their copy.

Desecrate is clearly an opinion based on prudes. Thing is is Rillian no one else is allowed to do different photos. I think a yearbook should allow it that'd be cool. Different poses and shit.
