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.

Boys wouldn't exist without Girls -.-. If you don't understand that, it means, YOUR MAMA IS A WOMAN WHICH EQUALS GIRL. GIRL = PREGNANT = YOU.

Without woman, humankind wouldn't exist.

So...how am I useless and retarded? After all, I found my way over here, and plainly I haven't just been blabbering on and on about fashion and dating and such. Was it you or someone else who I was having a debate with? I forget. But I did have some good arguments.

I'd put a pithy quote here, but I'd rather speak for myself.

I realize The is being a troll, but there's no activity on any of my other threads so I thought I might continue this little argument.

"It was you! You did it!"
No I didn't I wasn't here when it happened.
"You're defending yourself, it was probably you!"

The last line. You can't use logic and reasoning with people like that.

RE: Things people say that make you want to punch them

STOP WITH THE GIRLS VS. BOYS STUFF! PATHETIC TROLLS!
You're all human, that is what matters. And there is other stuff that matters more then a bitch fight about small differences. Such as if somebody like The has a small penis or NightThoughts having no breast. (CONCLUSIONS! w/o evidence, but from how they behave...)

@Topic:
"You'll eventually need that"
"Without school you'd be fucked"
"That teacher isn't that bad"
"You're crazy"
"Some things you can't change, you have to comply with them" <--- One of my personal most hated, from the people I've dealt with, I've learned that you can change every parameter you don't like - the question is ... how?
"You need good grades to get a good job"
"Your reward will be your graduation tissue paper." <---- I doubt that thing will be a reward to me.
"Freedom means responsibility" <--- Only if it's in favor of whomever saying this
"Maturity means responsibility" <--- See above
"You are a roll model for the younger, so act responsible. Also, the same rules apply to you as the apply to them" <---- However, they don't apply to the teacher, who clearly is no roll model to the 5th graders. Every class after that should already noticed they are lying hypocrites. If not, there idiots.
"School can never be democratic. Because if they'd be able to vote, they'd make that they only have to attend school until 12, then 10 etc, etc. " <--- Somebody really told me that, you'll find out who soon enough.
"The best time of the school year is before the summer break, because without grade pressure, the students are more motivated to learn" <--- A worker of the ministry of cultus (school ministry) said that. There might be some truth in it. Why don't just take away the grades in the first place?
"You cannot take away grades, because then you wouldn't be able to compare with others" <--- WHO THE ACTUAL FUCK SAID WE NEED TO COMPARE IN THE FIRST PLACE?


These are just a few, and some of them are so stupid, I don't even know a proper sarcastic response.

I hate when people say grades are a good thing, act like it means you're intelligent, or compare them between kids. I hear "You got an E!? You're so stupid!" (our school calls them Es instead of Fs because apparently an F fucks with a child's brain more than an E)

Or I'm trying to have a topic involving something that many people don't understand, and when they challenge what I'm saying they say "Hold on, hold on, what are your grades? Yeah, I have higher grades than that so I'm most likely full of shit right."

RE: Things people say that make you want to punch them

“If you’re feeling depressed, well, you’ve bought it on yourself,”
“All you have to do is pretend and sooner or later you’ll get over it,”
“There’s always someone worse off than you,"

And any other words like that drive me insane. Also if there's always someone worse off then you, then who's at the end of the chain of the worse-off-than-you's? Are they still alive from all that misfortune?

I'd LOVE to meet them, and introduce them to the people that say, "I've been through worse than you."

There's different types of tea in the world: There's tranquility, nobility, specialty, creativity ... and then there's BRUTALITY!
