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.

Kid wiped the American flag on the floor today in class.
Okay. I understand America is pretty fucked up as it is right now, and this ghetto thug african american kid probably doesnt even realize it, but what he did was so hurtful to ME personally.
So this punk, hes slapped my on the face before and called me a "bitch". Like mhm no sweetie, i aint YOUR bitch. but whatever, i did nothing except tell him not to put his hands on me. of course, nothing happens to him when i tell the teacher. not like i can sock him anyways im 5'1, hes 6ft or more. so im helpless other than with my voice. that was last week. this week was "okay, im gunna go get a drink of water and when i come back im taking the american flag, dropping it on the ground, and wiping it on the floor and making a mopping like motion with it on the ground" . Yep. thats exactly what he did today. i told him "dude, thats disrespectful, stop it" he does it again then puts the flag back in the holder thing on the wall.
My Great grandpa was a MIA POW 101ST Airborne Eagle. Sorry if i didnt use the terminology correctly, but the point is, he was a prisoner in WW2. He fought for America and wore the cloth of the country. I told my teacher 2 times "that really bothered me". NOTHING that i know of GETS DONE about his action. NOTHING ever gets done with bullies and idiots like him but this time was like, so crazy. I wanna beat this thug to the ground. man, if i tell my step dad about this thug, he'd literally go to every 'higher power' in the school and bitch until this kid gets kicked out, which maybe is what needs to be done. because what i saw today, was sickening. Makes me lose so much hope in school, not like most of it is lost anyways..

This right here.
it was a flag.. A small item with a symbol that has no bearing now in this police state. I'm sure your great grandpa wouldn't be happy if he saw the country he fought for now.
RE: Kid wiped the American flag on the floor today in class.
The flags they have in our school rooms could be bought for $0.50 at a dollar store. Unless your school is different, I don't give a fuck about those flags. If it's a full scale, full fledged flag then I'll crucify myself for dropping it, but I just don't care about dollar store flags.

If you have kids, save them from the bullshit you are forced to go through.

Look for the label "made in China too". Most flags anymore have that on them too.

RE: Kid wiped the American flag on the floor today in class.
This reminds me of how when I was at some stupid day-camp, some kids accidentally let the stupid flag touch the ground, and the counselor went on and on about how it was a desecration, and I was like, ummm there are what appear to be BARF STAINS on that flag. So ... shut up?

RE: Kid wiped the American flag on the floor today in class.
Flags are symbols, nothing more. IMHO, people should recognize symbols as symbols and stop putting so much weight on physical objects. Especially bibals, flags, and shit like that.
RE: Kid wiped the American flag on the floor today in class.
If it bothers you, but he is stronger, just fight like an asshole. First punch counts anyways, if get it into the right spot with enough thrust he'll be in hospital for sure.
And isn't it "POW MIA - Prisoner of War, Missing In Action"? If it's certain that the goal was to hurt you personally, and your family, he must face the consequences. Seriously, if somebody had done this to me, I'd either instantly rage on him or lure him up with my brother and beat the fucking shit outta him. If school doesn't kick him out, there is always somebody who can...in a different terminology.
For the patriotism, it depends on peoples. I won't judge anybody for it. Simply I don't care. I wouldn't try to purposely hurt somebody patriotic. Can get nasty sometimes (though, some motorcycle club member, those are patriotic, but I want them all to rot in hell - it's the only exception I take from this).

You watch (most probably) a man masturbating with a flag...okaaayyyyy....
RE: Kid wiped the American flag on the floor today in class.
Well, you should get pissed at him for bothering you, instead you get pissed at him because he was destroying some symbol? OH NOEZ! Seriously, it was just a flag, get over it. I know your great-grandfather served in WWII, but he would never like how America is today.

The title was a bit misleading because it was a troll video for patriot fags but even then I'm comfortable in my sexuality to watch whatever I want and not have to worry about something as idiotic as a man card.
That video was pretty tame compared to the other things on crazyshit.

no now its just the fact that this kid is a punk and needs to get his ass kicked real good. i could care less about the flag now, its the fact that hes just plain and simple, a low life piece of shit that needs his ass kicked. he hits me. he talks to girls like dogs, he took his gym tshirt and whipped a girl with it and she was telling him to stop, i mean this guy is a fucking creep.
You see, I have no problem with people being happy that the guy who orchestrated an attack that killed thousands of innocent people was killed. However, they all look stupid because first of all out country helped arm him and his group, then after we get mad at him we wasted billions if not trillions of dollars to *get him*. We also killed many innocent people over in his country not to mention the wasteful deaths of our own soldiers. Then to top it all off, we are still in the endless war fighting new phantoms.
