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.

Rant about Math

I'm so sick of this shit I should he getting perfect grades in math, I always get the math easy as fuck but I always make these stupid fucking mistakes and failing every other fucking test because I keep missing stupid fucking shot like addition and subtraction.

RE: Rant about Math

I should be getting perfect grades too! You know.. since this is my 3rd year taking Algebra I...
But since my 8th grade teacher was a raging DICK* and hated me he wouldn't let me advance to geometry. And then in freshman year i skipped over 100 days of school so i stayed back. And now my teacher doesn't give grades higher than 90. Seriously, she doesn't, she said so.


* There used to be an old old old topic on here about him that has since been lost. Sigh. But it was basically 13 year old me raging about his stupidity!

I can't really. I remember he had favorites. And i wasn't one of them. Everyone said he had favorites, even my parents which is a shocker because they're NEVER on my side.

I would just keep at it or get some tutoring. Math is hard but not impossible.

Yeah, I don't think the problem is with your 8th grade teacher.
