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.

Fuck that. I have a right to not get my ass kicked by retarded parents who think they know better, and I certainly should have a right to refuse to go to school. Weather the government enforces these "rights" or not doesn't make a goddamn difference to me. Either way I'm going to fight for that right...

Also, we do have certain rights protected by the government. Yes, that means the government can take them away and that the rights aren't "inalienable" but they fucking should be and I'll fight for them... So in that regard, yes, yes we do have rights.

And you're "Tired of people claiming they have rights"? You sound like a dictator or something.

Oppressive tyrant, I'll say. Everyone has liberty which ends there where the other's liberty begins. Liberty of parents, teachers and others involved in the vast anti-youth conspiracy™ have not just limited our liberty, but completely abolished it.

I'm saying nothing is guaranteed, not that we should be controlled. We are not entitled to anything; you either take it or do something about it, or you sit there and let people control you. Either way, you have to be realistic about it or you'll just sound like a brat that really doesn't know any better.

If there are no rights, I don't think it can have to do with earning anything.

It's like, a person wouldn't often say they'd earned stolen money; they'd have the money itself, but not the right to it. For the concept of earning things to even make sense, you have to also have the concept of rights, of who deserves what, I think. So without that, having something doesn't mean anything else. You might have gotten some thing through means that would ordinarily be considered 'earning' it, you might have gotten it some other way. You might have been given it even--the agency isn't necessarily yours.

So under that line of reasoning, you just have something or you don't have it. There's no moral or quasi-moral value to it.

True, that was bad wording. Earning something generally assumes doing it in a moral fashion. I was just getting out my view on their being a lack of real morality and how easily "rights" can be taken away, defeating their whole purpose.

I'm sure this has already been said before, but seriously, I don't care about age. Kids are still people. They deserve the same rights, even if they aren't quite the same age as you.

Privacy is an outdated concept. In Great Nation, Dear Leader has the ability to see all of his loyal subjects at any given time. Once I observed guy masturbating on Toilet. I've has never been able to get that hideous, almost western-like image out of his head, even after I had the man killed.

Ok i'm back.

Maybe if he didn't alienate his kids and totally break the bond of trust that is so uncommon in a adult-child relationship, he would realize his own hypocrisy. It's funny, I checked his site out, and he's talking like he know's kids but I know for a fact he doesn't.

As benign as the intentions may be, any system that forces people into an environment where they have no say in their lives is a situation ripe for abuse of power.

This. Why should age matter? If there are 12 year olds with more sense than 40 year olds that still act like irresponsible children, why shouldn't they get respect or more of a say in their own lives?

Now, I am for privacy. If this person thinks that you have to watch a child every moment of their life to make sure they're good works, then he's obviously never heard that true morality means doing good even when no one's watching.

Also, I'm glad my dad was never like this. When I asked him why he didn't seem to care, he said, "Soon, you'll be on your own. You're going to control your own life. What good will me taking away your private accounts do; you'll just resent me and I still wouldn't be able to control everything you do because I don't see you most of the time and you have friends I've never even heard of. All I can do is trust that I raised you right and that you'll make the right decisions for yourself and be responsible about it."

Best parenting ever, at least for me.

Re: Kids Shouldn't have the right to privacy?

Quote:I don’t mean to be melodramatic but the Columbine killers planned, plotted and even armed themselves right underneath the parents’ noses because said parents were more concerned about the privacy of their kids than parenting.

I stopped reading there. I have read some ridiculous explanations for why the columbine kids shot up the school but this is one of the worst. He only says this to scare parents into following his viewpoint and to make his viewpoint seem valid. His opinion is equivalent to a piece dog shit on the sidewalk... at least regarding youth privacy.

Hey, better safe than sorry.

...is something my dad would say to that. He's willing to give up all of his "freedom" in exchange for a little "security" and is training me to do the same. Except it's not security he offers, it's, um, "keeping me out of trouble." (Good luck with that.)

I'm sick of people saying kids shouldn't have the right to privacy because if they have a lock on their door they'll set up a meth lab in their bedroom. Fuck you, I like my meth lab.

My door is locked at all times. Of course they have a key but they don't usually use it, and I'll have some time while they're unlocking the door to hide anything I may or may not need to.

No, this is Patrick.

Well, I used to play with fire... (thank the invisible deity, or the commie bastards who don't make everything out of wood that the building wasn't made of flammable materials), I once stuck a paper clip in a power socket. But still, I don't think that makes it right for parents to not give their kids any privacy, especially adolescents. And then my username...

RE: Kids Shouldn't have the right to privacy?

Does this father/mother want to prepare the kids for 1984? Damn, its a film, not a guide. It was never ment to be a guide either.

It seems to me that either the writer of the article is a dictator, who doesn't like loosing power, or one of those "short caring" parents, that only think about the moment, not about the future.
In future, the kids will need privacy. People like these support Facebook, hence the kid says "I don't have any privacy at all". Their kids are those who need somebody to care for them as adults, because they can't live on their own, they never learned to deal with stuff. Those are the kids that don't know how to control fire (yes, I've learned this hybrid, by trying and together with my parents at newyear). I guess those are the same parents whoms kids can't cook, wash or anything else for that matter. Pure Over-Protection.

The author expects the kids to whore themselves to their parents and advises other parents to overtake this habit. Its bullshit. Has he heared of human rights? Why should rights generally only count for adults? In law, a kid is a kid until it is either 18 or 21 in most countrys. They expect them to whore themselves until this barrier is broken? Bullshit. Everybody deserves the same rights - unbound from age, origin, religion or whatever. And everybody includes kids.

I understand that nobody wants to sell kids alcohol or tobacco. I understand THAT decision. But I can't understand why kids shouldn't have their freedom - they will never learn how to deal with it. They will never know responsiblity for themselves or others. Is that what the author wants? Is it?

He already failed as a parent.
