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.

RE: Computer Teacher is a complete retard.

That's part of why I liked ISS. You just did all the class work in 15 minutes and then you had the rest of the day to do whatever you wanted, within your little cubicle.

RE: Computer Teacher is a complete retard.

Gah fuck everyone except the OP.


You have a week or so to get a certain project done, whether it be Photoshop, Flash, etc. If you get it done ahead of time, all he does is fucking bitch and moan about how you didn't put all your effort into it because we have no experience with any digital office packages (Oh Really Bitch? I s'pose paint and M Office don't count then). Then half the class he makes us listen to him. About 5% of it is instructions and actually useful, and the rest is him ranting about something useless, the last week or so it was about how HTML 5 is going to kill Flash really soon and how about this lesson is useless, then goes on to show us HTML code just to say "Haha bitch, I can write that, it's over your head." And then how we won't get into it since it'll change over the next few years while they finish it.

Not to mention we're not allowed on the internet unless it's for his projects. Which means NO leisure internet usage.

Oh, and the best part, he's condescending about EVERYTHING, he mocks us for random things. He knows he acts like it, admits it, and says he deserves to because he's older and smarter than us.
