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.

Your School's Torture Methods

Don't know if this has been done before, but I'll take a risk

What's ya school's torture methods to force your co-operation with them? At worse We get locked in a room all day with no social interaction and no letting out, not even for toilet or food. Disgusting.

RE: Your School's Torture Methods

I attend an online school, so teachers can't really do anything about my eating and drinking, listening to music during class, etcetera. The public schools over here though don't let their students yawn without yelling at them. Apparently it's disrespectful and a sign of boredom. And if you want to sneeze, you have to exit the classroom... which is unbelievably ridiculous. If you do sneeze (which is 9/10 likely since you can't hold them in...), you have to go to the bathroom to wash your hands. Basically everything you said, also.

Students where I work would fake sneeze non-stop to get out of class. I can just see 12 of them fake sneezing at the same time and heading out of class. I wouldn't even try to stop it. I would just say 'Hey, I didn't make the rule.' Of course they would fire the teachers who really followed this rule so whatever.

If you want to be a different fish, you've got to jump out of the school.

My school threatens to give them ADs (Detentions) or to kick kids out of class if that fails.

RE: Your School's Torture Methods

My school has no extreme torture methods. A call home to my parents is torture in my eyes.

Hey there!
I am an unloved bitch.

"connecting rooms" where they give you a piece of paper and you have to fill out retarded shit like "why did you do this without blaming others" and "consequences are a result of wrong decisions, what is an appropriate consequence for your actions"

RE: Your School's Torture Methods

My teacher just sends me nasty emails when I don't do something the right way or submit it in the right format, not really torture though. But either way I started sending her bsdm porn and she shut up.

My teachers love to use the guilt trap.

Yeah. Dependent on the severity of your 'crime against the state', you will be giving a certain amount of time that you need to work. You will be given cleaning equipment and then you have to clean up the school. In an attempt to disguise it for what it is, my school calls it 'a service to the environment'. That's really a title that hides it well, huh?

RE: Your School's Torture Methods

Detention (not even a threat for underacheiver that everyone expects 4.0+ from) they don't even force you to go to detention
searches -find anything that's may not be kosher get warned then suspended
clean up on the weekends - probably because of the budget cuts and how nobody gives a shit about keeping the campus clean
Conference - only a threat if your parents will actually punish you and you hate conferences.

RE: Your School's Torture Methods

My school set up a website so my parents can see my grades every day, most of the time before I do. It makes life a living hell.

The only other somewhat unique punishment my school has is social probation, which means no field trips, clubs, sports, ceremonies (like graduation) or being on school property when school is not in session.

The purpose of life is a life with a purpose
So I’d rather die for a cause than live a life that is worthless
I don’t need the circus or the day of national observance
I need you to think for you and stop being a servant
