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.

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.

Friend is being punished

About two months earlier we had a show in our auditorium.
Every group from Secondary5 or 11th grade( I think ?) was there.

The show was delayed for about 10-15 minutes because of some difficulties.

So eventually, they offered some of us the chance to come on stage to perform anything just for fun.

This guy and my other friend had the guts to do it. ( My friend is not a douche-bag who wants to show off, he just likes fooling around a lot. )

So he comes on stage, makes sure the DIRECTOR OF THE SCHOOL ALLOWS HIM TO. ( Caps are very important there. )

He tells this joke that is quite funny. But a bit sexual. ( Oh the sin! He must be punished! * Sarcasm * )

TWO MONTHS LATER. He gets called in and is being BANNED FROM EVER ENTERING THE AUDITORIUM. He has to do COMMUNITY SERVICE AND WRITE A LETTER OF APOLOGY SIGNED BY HIS PARENTS.

Are you Kidding me? TWO MONTHS LATER? If you wanted to punish him, YOU'D HAVE DONE IT EARLIER!

Dumb school just looking for problems. Everyone was laughing at the joke! But apparently is " too vulgar "
Even the principal was laughing !

Another example of school trying to suppress our right to speak!

All men who have achieved great things have been great dreamers.

Schools have to make it seem as if they're doing something, or NCLB rapes them with a cactus

It was in french, so the joke can't really be as funny translated into English. But it involved sexual things.

Well at least he doesn't have to enter that place anymore...

But that's pretty dumb

War is stupid.
