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.

So Much Irony

My school, which has every website under the sun blocked, has school survival and the ss forums unblocked.

Why do you think it's called School Survival?

Hah, could be because the URL has changed since then, and they haven't caught on yet. Razz

So Much Irony

This site was a favourite among me and my friends but after a year or two they switched their internet to the government one which blocked it as a "Proxy Anonymiser". ScholasticDementia hasn't been blocked yet, but I visited it today from school so it'll probably be blocked soon enough. (Most likely as a forum or blog)

RE: So Much Irony

How are we supposed to learn in schools if everything is blocked. I've had trouble finding stuff for work because of school blocks before.

That's potentially one of the most intelligent thing I've heard all day off someone who I'm not related to or like as a person.

RE: So Much Irony

Maybe the person who blocks stuff wants you to hate school because he hates his job at the school!

Brilliant. Hadn't thought of that. But, what if someone blocked his access to the computer because they hated him hating school

^^ He doesn't hate his job, I had him as a teacher.
^ He is the system admin and he controls everything about all of the computers, so no.
