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.

Society sucks in General.

More rebel wisdom? Don't mind if I do.

What the hell Is our goal in life? To make money and get a wife and have some kids, and have a happy life? In this society it is near impossible to get. I may get lucky and get famous for something, but you forgot one big ass detail. Lets say you're a musician. You have to slave yourself to write a hit song in less than a day. Not to mention endless touring and going to a studio to produce your track and albums scheduled for a few months later? I've produced a rap album myself, and it was released on New Year's Day and I've been working on that 8 track pile o shit for 2 months straight. With my amateur equipment it was shitty.

Now I'm here to talk about why society sucks, not my dilemmas about being a rap artist. Society sucks because we have this social order. You have the supermodels, movie stars, music artists, from shitty to decent, From Justin Bieber who is a faggot by the way, to my favorite death metal bands. All of these people are better than you. Is it either because they're one of the lucky people that have physical beauty within them while I came out of my mothers vagina looking like a pile of shit?

Is it because they picked out a good pseudonym for themselves and ended up having a marketable image?

We don't know.

All we DO know, however, is that the government forces us to go to school every day until we are 18. And then we go to work slaving our asses off, depending on where we work at. Doesn't school teach you anything except how much this world blows? Yes, life does suck and then we do die.

Who agrees to take society by the balls and rip it to shreds?

That's my philosophy, if you don't like it, shut the hell up.

RE: Society sucks in General.

Our ever changing culture has created our present society down to it's views and opinions, down to it's likes and dislikes. What's best is for people to question and challenge this culture of ours and our place in it.

That being said, I don't like the idea of a social revolution if your into that kind of thing. I just don't. It harms everyone involved and the truly fucked up are free to roam.

Society and its structure is something I like to ignore as much as possible. I pretend it doesn't exist, so I don't get caught up trying to adapt to it.

It will only go away if more people do this... trying to 'get rid of it' by force is impossible because it's embedded in people's minds. Get it out of their minds, and it will cease to exist.

Go on...

Quote:What the hell Is our goal in life?
There's your first fallacy. You used the word "our." The simple fact is, we all have different goals. "Our goal in life" is a misnomer because if it. In fact, there really is no goal for society, it just sorta exists. In fact, attempts by people who try to impose a shared goal and vision on everybody generally end up badly.

Quote:To make money and get a wife and have some kids, and have a happy life?
That doesn't sound too bad...

Quote:In this society it is near impossible to get.
Not really. A lot of people make enough money to have reasonably comfortable life, get married, and have kids. Of course, that's not for everybody. Different things make different people happy.

Quote:I may get lucky and get famous for something, but you forgot one big ass detail. Lets say you're a musician. You have to slave yourself to write a hit song in less than a day.

And? Not everyone can be famous. You have to give people what they want to be famous and successful and stuff. You have to be notable.

Quote:Now I'm here to talk about why society sucks, not my dilemmas about being a rap artist.
Then why did you even bring it up?

Quote:Society sucks because we have this social order. You have the supermodels, movie stars, music artists, from shitty to decent, From Justin Bieber who is a faggot by the way, to my favorite death metal bands.
So, because we have famous people you don't like, the social order sucks? Do you want to change the social order or do you just not like order at all? Human beings are social animals and it's unavoidable.

Quote:All of these people are better than you. Is it either because they're one of the lucky people that have physical beauty within them while
Well, it's easier to market a hot singer than an ugly one. Simple economics.

Quote:I came out of my mothers vagina looking like a pile of shit?
Hahaha. You said it, not me.

Quote:Is it because they picked out a good pseudonym for themselves and ended up having a marketable image?
Marketing is very important, but I think talent is also involved in success.

Quote:We don't know.
You don't know. I might know, though.

Quote:All we DO know, however, is that the government forces us to go to school every day until we are 18. And then we go to work slaving our asses off, depending on where we work at.
Yes, school sucks. It's very wrong that we are forced to go to school. However, that's no reason to question the very social order. We have to work, man. That's the way it's been throughout time. Only a privileged few do no work in their lifetime. Even the vast majority of rich people work.

Quote:Doesn't school teach you anything except how much this world blows? Yes, life does suck and then we do die.
That, and algebra.

Quote:Who agrees to take society by the balls and rip it to shreds?

Mao grabbed society by the balls an ripped it to shreds. Didn't turn out very good.

Quote:That's my philosophy, if you don't like it, shut the hell up.
If that's a philosophy, it's an incoherent one.

I do agree on that, but shouldnt you enjoy life while you still have it?

Society sucks in General.

Most famous celebrities ( some like Damine Rice and John Lennon are truly talented so dont get me wrong) are the kind of people who barely have any talent and are only in business to get money, they do not have any right to express themselves truly and they have to hide from paparazzi and fans that like to follow them everyday...I think there was a quote or a song where Eminem said that he cant take a 'dump' without someone staring at him...so if you want to get into that business you have to have dedication. You cant just sit around and moan about these people getting more publicity than yourself...I'm writing my own songs and I won a few shows locally however that dosnt necesseraly suggest that there is no room for improvement.

I would agree with you on the matter that there is a social order to everything however aren't we the ones allowing that? if we want to change something, people need to fully stop buying products that promote these celebrities and stop watching their crap.
Im so tired of people saying they are fed up with the society...we ARE the SOCIETY. We are the ones lettings the things to be as they are.
Why not just stop moaning and relax, enjoy life to the fullest, try your best and just have a cup of tea? Thats what I want to do, but too bad got a pile of crap to learn in order to get into college where Ill learn more crap.
