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.

The End of me?

Hey guys, Sky here. The math dictator- I mean teacher told us we get report cards on Friday. Thats like 4 days from Christmas. Knowing that I normally don't
really care about that kind of grade I got in Math. I rembered that I currently have a F in math. Earlier this month my Mom said that if I got a bad grade before Christmas, I get nothing. ;_; School is evil. Now if you excuse me I'm gonna hide in my Emo corner.
Edit: Please help me.

RE: The End of me?

That must suck! I remember when my dad would get me a present for christmas. He would have me hang up one of my socks the night before and usually put in a candy cane and a pack of sticky notes or a cool pencil. Obviously I cant remember well cause he died when I was 5, but I remember it was so fun. I would be so sad and pissed if I was told me he wasnt going to do it! That sucks! And sky, you should check out my thread fuck the leona group to see whats in store for your area, I bet all the things that happen in highland park will come soon to you!

Steal report card.
Put report card back in mail box after Christmas.
Problem solved.

This.

Plus, if the teacher doesn't make you get the report card signed then problem solved...just burn the damned thing

I doubt that your mother wouldn't give you any presents. That's just cruel. Tell her that you are doing your best in math, but you're having some difficulties. If she doesn't know when the report card comes, give it to her after Christmas.

LOL They probably will have them make it so that it is necessary for any student with bad grades to get it signed.

the only times i ever got caught were when i tried to be less suspicious and use my mom's signature...the only bad part about that is that she had nicer handwriting than me and my dad (the only reasons i've had to forge the signatures were bc in elementary skool we had to get these folders signed every week and i'd usually forget mine in my backpack because i didn't have homework and they get home after me. Then there was one time that i forgot to give them a permission slip for a field trip...got busted for that, but i don't remember how much trouble i got in)

In case you haven't noticed, Highschool punishments are usually harsher than in Elementary school. I asked on Yahoo (Not entirely reliable but..) I found that you could be expelled or even taken to juvenile detention for an extended period of time. But that might not be the case for all of us.

I used to scan the notes to our teen health clinic, and edit them to take out the words, and then I would forge the signatures and sell them to other students for $.50 a pop. I never actually got caught doing so, but my teachers were suspicious of why I was always out of class.
If you guys happen to do something like that, just remember to not do it every day.
You'll get caught. I was lucky.
