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.

My therapy session
Of course I need fucking pills. I don't even know where to start with this.
Today I went to my second therapy session...I got there, and I had to talk to her alone (last time it was me and my mom). The whole time she implied that something was wrong with me, "But you don't have to feel that way anymore, there are miracle pills you can take"
I kept on asking, feel like what?? She accused me of all sorts of things, depression, anxiety, other shit I can't remember. Yeah, I'm socially awkward but it doesn't mean I have something wrong with me that can only be cured by unnatural pills that have a long list of side effects. Apparrently, because I find it uncomfortable to maintain eye contact and (SURPRISE) didn't like school, I have all sorts of mental problems.
Towards the end she called my mom in, and this is what really pissed me off. Because I'm only 14, I don't have the choice of refusing to take any pills that they give me. If my mom wanted to, she could put me in the hospital and they could force feed me the pills that I 'need'. The therapist told my mom that she should make a deal with me, if she caught me smoking weed she would put me in the hospital and force feed me the pills that I 'actually need'. Because apparently, me smoking weed is just my attempt to self medicate all these horrible things I didn't even know I had until you told me I had them.
This situation is so fucking stupid. You don't conform to everyone else, TAKE THESE PILLS HERP DERP THEY'LL MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER EVEN THOUGH YOU DON'T FEEL BAD.
No, this is Patrick.

RE: My therapy session
Fuck, that just pisses me off. Not only is it a way for them to steal money from you, but who knows how bad the pills they give you could be after a few years. Some of these therapists will attempt to diagnose you with anything in order to get you hooked on some 'special' drug. And then when you actually start to feel like shit because of those pills, they just prescribe different pills on top of those.
Its fucked up how these people working with pharmaceutical drugs no longer care about really helping their patients, but rather taking their money and drugging them for the rest of their lives. It sucks even more that you don't have a say in the matter. If I was in that position, I'd be damn well sure to make it as hard as possible for them to force feed me their shit.

They cannot hold him down and make him take the pills. If I were you I would refuse to take any pills. Fight to then end.

Trust me that's what I'm planning on doing. If they try force feeding me anything someone is getting punched in the face as painfully as I can make it happen.

Therapists are suppose to help you, not diagnose you with problems you don't have and force you to take pills you don't need. She needs to be fired.

I'm not going to sell pills that don't get you high...I have a good reputation among the people I sell shit to, I don't want them to not buy from me again.

As someone diagnosed with high functioning autism I am extremely against pills that "cure" autism. I'd rather be a bored, socially awkward, school hating pessimist than someone walking around the room smiling stupidly going "WEEEEW PWETTY KOLORZ" or a mindless zombie staring into space with no thoughts.

Exactly. Autism has no "cure". Early Intervention Programs can help and currently help the best. Other than that and just general helpfulness NO PILLS will do ANYTHING.

RE: My therapy session
If anyone tries, do anything in your power. The one time I got strong medication I felt like I'd go crazy any second. And it wasn't even supposed to alter my behavior. Bite, scream, throw stuff. Anything.
I'd put a pithy quote here, but I'd rather speak for myself.
Superpowers aren't just flying and lifting several tons. Whatever you're good at, that's your superpower. Learn to deal with it.

RE: My therapy session
That therapist is made of pure and utter fail and should not be a therapist... she should be a pharmacist. In fact she probably already is, and is just using the therapy thing as an excuse to drug people.
And yeah, fight that shit. Refuse to take them, hide under the table screaming, whatever it takes. Although that might make them think you're even crazier...

RE: My therapy session
My dad was right about my mom, because she's crazy she assumes everyone else around her is...
But as soon as we got in the car, I told her I still smoke and ask if she was going to put me in the hospital. She said if I was smoking so much that I failed out of school (even though that WAS NOT the reason I was failing) and I told her I had already failed all my classes. But she said she met at my new school...so if for some reason I start failing charter I may stop posting here a while...but I don't think anything will actually happen.
But if it does...I'll show them how crazy I am...I have more than a few weapons in my room, and I'm going to make sure I always have a knife whenever I leave the house now.
