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.

extreme cruelty by admin to veteran teachers

I know two teachers with life-threatening health problems. Both are less than five years short of retirement or medicare. Getting on disability may or may not be possible. One was fired despite his tenure leaving him in a situation where his insurance payments cost more than his early retirement payout. It's basically the same as straight out killing him. The other one is in the process of being fired. With a little compassion after 15-20 years of service they could be given a cushy office job just for two or three years but instead they're throwing them out on the streets.

RE: extreme cruelty by admin to veteran teachers

Mind to make it public? Such stuff won't stop unless the masses see it. Is there anything those people can do about it?

RE: extreme cruelty by admin to veteran teachers

That's a good idea. I would need to talk to the actual teachers first and see how they felt about it.

That's just plain mean... I could help publicize the issue if the teachers agree to making it public?
