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.

Well Met
I'm Vladimir. I joined because I'm on a quest to find intelligent life on Earth and this seemed to contain some (I'll investigate further). And I hate school and haven't gone (to school) in two years. Fuck the man! Anyhow, my three main interests are music, "drugs" (psychopharmacology), and philosophy. My favourite philosopher as of right now is Nietzsche. And I am 15 years old.

Welcome, fellow newfag. Here you'll be subjected to trolling, insults, and mass torture, all in the name of science. Now bend over so we can stick this giant needle in your ass.

Fascinating, it's as if when I started this thread it was just a simple caterpillar but it went through a sort of metamorphosis and became a butterfly. Magnificent.

What music do you like?
Mainly 60's and 70's music. Such as The Rolling Stones, Simon and Garfunkel, Janis Joplin, T.Rex, Sweet, Ebba Grön, Noice etc (a lot more, I have semi-big vinyl collection [app. 70 records] and I don't feel like mentioning all the bands I listen to). Mostly though, I listen to David Bowie and The Beatles. I had a period of time when I listened to punk music aswell, mostly Sham 69, but I could never find any of their records. :/ I did find a live CD (before I bought a record player that could play vinyl) with The Sex Pistols where they cover Iggy and The Stooges' "No Fun" which I thought was pretty cool.

That sounds lovely. And I just stopped going. Which is fun because here, where I live, you have the right to go to school until you are 16 (in other words, it's illegal to not go to school if you are under 16). I have gotten into a fair bit of trouble for it.

My parents are supposed to be fined because I don't go to school but for some reason that doesn't happen very quickly. I read about another guy in Sweden who stopped going to school, four years after he stopped going that's when his parents got a fine.

What's it like? Hmm... [RANT] well for one, it's filled with old senile teachers that just won't die. And the students, well, they probably have an average IQ of 57. And since I actually had an IQ above 80 my math teacher made me go around and help my mildly retarded classmates with their work. I still don't understand why she couldn't just let me move on and try harder math. Well, as I said, old senile fucking hags that just won't die, they just keep trying to work but forget writing you even showed (which somehow only happened to me) and so it looks like you skipped school that day. And my German teacher was a cunt. And one of the teachers, who's class I only went to once, had such a thick Russian accent that I couldn't understand a word of what she said. I hope nobody there wanted to be a physicist. [/RANT]
