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.

Besides Not Liking School...

What's 5 things you wouldn't tell someone at school because you know they wouldn't understand you?(Don't play different language tricks with me)

Congratulations humanity,because you refuse to let go of the old and evolve you actually make people believe in 2012. Not only that, but you're the only species on Earth that were able to make it possible, now we get to sit until we die because we couldn't get to Mars. We have failed as a society and don't deserve our gifts to survive for this long. Maybe this is why dinosaurs are extinct, we sure aren't any better than the dirt you say we're created from. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pla...DvwSOFto#! Noo

RE: Besides Not Liking School...

1 You seriously listen to that shit and have the nerve to call it "good rap?"
2. You are just pathetically insecure, so you make up shit to be wrong with other people.

I could go on for weeks, but it's mostly science,psychology, history related.

So I’d rather die for a cause than live a life that is worthless

1. That music you're listening to sounds just like *insert 80's song I know here*.
2. Quite frankly, I'm just too busy to hear what you have to say; it isn't priority right now.
3. Yeah? I'd like to see you try it!
4. I'm impressed you got past middle school.
5. I'm not nodding because I'm listening to you, I'm nodding in silent agreement of my impulse to punch you in the face.

RE: Besides Not Liking School...

I've already told some kids in my English class that the only wrestling I like is WWE because even though it's rehearsed so they don't get severely hurt, atleast they aren't grabbing at eachother the whole time while sweating profusely in their underwear and being cheered on by guys and girls all over the world...although, it wasn't in thoes exact words because otherwise they would have gotten confused and said w/e then ignored me.

the rest of the things i'd say involve music and pointing out their idiocy

Thanks for the diploma… can I have my childhood back?

I’d love to have a battle of wits with you… but I hate to fight the unarmed.

1. I don't believe in gods.
2.AM I THE ONLY BLACK GUY WHO DOESN'T LIKE RAP?!?
3.Maybe if you'd stop singing the sexy lady part of Gangnam Style which is the only thing you understand I wouldn't hate it.
4.Stop insulting gay people!
5.I know what a woman naked looks like.(Don't ask how I know and for your information I never looked up porn in my life)
I have a few more to say but those are then main ones.

RE: Besides Not Liking School...

I don't have too many things because the people I talk to at school are mostly cool but...
1. I think Obama's been a decent president considering all of the things Bush screwed up and he has to deal with(I live in the South so there are literally like 6 non-Republicans at my school)
2. Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj and basically every other rapper signed by Young Money sucks
3. Marijuana should be legal because and alcohol and tobacco are and they're just as if not more harmful (my ex actually smoked and chewed tobacco but when she heard me listening to a Dr. Dre
song about weed she freaked. This is one of the reasons I broke up with her.)
4. I have a girlfriend(they would either say I'm lying or annoy me with questions about her/tell her lies about me)
5. I don't have a problem with gay people(again I live in the South and a lot of people her are pretty homophobic)

So those were pretty random but honestly I try not to say them on a daily basis(except for the Obama and gay ones because I'm trying to get people to at least understand and accept my political views.)

It's a good thing Arkansas is barely considered in the South and everyone in my school is a Obama lover, still though most are Christians and still obey their parents. Most are 11 in 6th but me and some others are 12 and I know one girl in 6th that's 13. Music is one of the few things that keep me sane like Live and Learn and Endless Possibilities.

RE: Besides Not Liking School...

I'm constantly asking classmates "out of the hundreds(or maybe even thousands?) of religions in the world, why is yours right?" They never have an answer. Buddhism isn't a religion as much as its a philosophy in my opinion because it doesn't really believe in Gods.

I've grown to love darker and depressing music such as heavy metal,that's another one I know they wouldn't understand either because they would wonder why I like it or misunderstand the reason I like it. Not all music is loved because it's cool. I SWEAR IS I HEAR ONE MORE GANGNAM STYLE REFERENCE!

DoA? Where do you actually come from, may I ask?
SomeRandomHuman, do you like instrumental music, like the sound of rain and thunder, rivers and the forest?
