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.

Everyone, talk about your break here!
My break is with my rich aunt in her ginormouse house. Her house has 5 bedrooms! And only 3 people live in it! Her husbend makes 250k a year! She was shocked to see I was serious, I do only have the clothes on my back, my guinea pig and this ipod, and first thing gave me $200 dollars and told me to spend it all on new clothing. I told her I only need $10 and she can have the extra $190 back. But she said she wants me to puck out nice clothes, and to spend it all. She dropped me off at the mall, and it was HUGE and FANCY! I didnt see a wal mart, too bad, that is where I bought all my clothing. All the stores were fancy shit, and I finally found an old navy, the least fancy store in the place. Everything was overpriced in there, $3.50 for a shirt off the clearance rack in kids size, I cram myself into a kids XL plus to save money, kids is half the price of adults. But with the $200, I bought myself a whole new wardrobe of that fancy clothing, three 12 piece nugget combos from chuck fil a (I was hungry, alright) and gifts for brat, her mom, and her dad. When I walkes in the door, I said "Aunt______, I bought a new wardrobe of fancy clothes!" She said "Wow, is highland park that ghetto that old navy is fancy? Because here, it is ghetto." I knew she is rich, but Idk she is THAT rich. But she toom me to a huge bathtub in a huge bathroom that is bigger then my bedroom in the apartment was and told me I was filthy and I need a bath. I tried protesting and said my cast on my leg because of the torn achilles shouldnt get wet (all the others were off, the bones somehow healed!) because I despise baths. Sadly, she was too smart and tossed me a trash bag. AGGH, I HATE BEING CLEAN! AGGGHHHH! We all went out to dinner at this ridiculously fqncy restaurant, there were 3 forks nest to each plate. Brat cousin said they eat out like this every meal. Since I mustvd embarassed them with my bad table manners, using the wrong fork, chewing with my mouth open, giving up on the fork and using my hands, the next day they threw me $100 and said it was for todays chow for me, sorry, I embarassed them too much, ect. Apparantly, they eat ebery meal out. I only used $20 that day and gave them back the extra $80. They were surprised I didnt use it all. Brat was at first contemplating making me her maid, but has deemed me unworthy. She is a big brat. She thinks she is a princess, and called cinderella ghetto. Aunt said there is tradition for xmas but its surprise. I will tell more later. WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING FOR BREAK?

Do you plan these posts out, or just make them up on the fly? Also, I do not get a break, I work for a living.

RE: Everyone, talk about your break here!
Alucard, I just write these on the fly, too lazy to plan what i will say. Greenlamp, yes gettig christmas gifts will be so cool! I hope I get a candy cane and some socks. Liptomatic, yep, this is 100% true, my life. I am accually a survivalWOMAN, not man. Everybody is shocked I ak a girl, because of the myth going round the internet that girls dont curse. IDK if I have been to that specific shop, I dont keeptrack of their names, but I have been to shops that are hardcore, some man pawned an iguana! Maybe Sky and Alucard have been, I think they live in detroit too. But most reality tv is exagerated, and acted out, I bet the shop is in the rich part of detroit, and IRL it is a little shop for wussies.

Yes, please PM me on how that stuff works, I am damn curious, and how about telling me how to use chopsticks? For dinner, we went to chinese, and I ate by grabbing the food in handfulls and shoveling it in my mouth. Not pretty. Your break sounds fun. Are your parents trying to drag you away from the videogames? My aunt gets upset with me because all I do is watch tv (they have 3 tvs, no joke) and wander around town looking for money on the floor, I already found $7.63! I just found their wii! She drags me away from the tv, amd then makes me watch the brat.

Sorry I did't know, I guess it's maybe only my unconscious thinking that only boys are "on" this site. I don't know why I thought you were one, maybe it's the writing style.  I have only read a couple of the stuff which has happened to you, and unfortunately I have been quite doubtful when reading them, but sometimes they are so detailed that I start to wonder. Either you're one hell of a writer or The Actual True Real Deal. Anywho! Epic fashioned events you've had and I can't really feel for you because I haven't been there. :( Merry Christmas though, get nice and share nice presents.

RE: Everyone, talk about your break here!
I dont recognise the shop name either. I bet it is all acted out, most tv stuff is. LiptomaticMate, Alucard might live in detroit, maybe he migjt know. But if between the 3 of us nobody knows of it, it is BS. And I think maybe its the curseing that makes everyone think I am a boy. And I am not making this up, I hadnt learned to read and write untill I was 10 and I learned via tv, I couldnt possibly be that good a writer. I should make a book about my life someday. And I am ok that none of you can really feel for me because not many people go through this, I am thankful you will listen to me and that some of you will be my friends, because I have none IRL.

It's entertaining though quite "Hard", "Core". Quite a lot of extreme stuff happens in that pawn show. Well now I do believe you, and I guess it's true, but that though doesn't mean I don't think you write good. I guess the last message came out a little weird.  . You learned by doing, by practice I think it's called. "Human-experiencly" you are waaaaaaay ahead of a lot of people.
It doesn't matter that much where your friends are as long as they are good friends/real friends. Not that I am, but you get what I mean.
Anywho Good Luck Onforward.

RE: Everyone, talk about your break here!
To get back on topic then...
Christmas was great! Their tradition is much different then my dad did it. They brought a tree into the house, and instead of socks, we hung these huge red things with a white fuzzy top shaped like a foot and a leg that my whole body would fit into! and the next day they were full, and stuff was around the tree! Little brat thinks it was someone called Santa, who is B.S, he isn't real. She is retarded. I got so much cool stuff! GTG, brat has just nocked over a china vase.

I come back to school in January 7 so while you all complain I'll just be mast...ering my new Wii U games.
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#!
