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.

Is that really what you said word for word? If so that's complete bullshit, and even if you did say something much more severe, it's still complete bullshit for you to be suspended for something that you do outside of school grounds. You should file an appeal, or see it as an extended vacation.

RE: i got suspended for 30 school days for a facebook post!
Well given the length of the suspension it's possible that the OP would fail the grade over this...
Are they offering homeschooling services so that you can keep up with schoolwork? Where I live, if you receive a long-term suspension then you meet up with a teacher at the library a couple of days per week and (s)he gives you all of the school-work that you're missing.

What, that's a stupid reason. Just wondering, but why do you try to be a valedictorian?

That is ridiculous. Your school administration is messed up for suspending you.

RE: i got suspended for 30 school days for a facebook post!
If that's true and it wasn't some deal where you got several warnings about other posts on Facebook or other social media you should get a lawyer and sue. However, usually when I hear students say I got in trouble for this one small thing, it was really thousands of small things that never stopped and then the kid harps on the very last straw like that's what it's all about. Maybe the truth is, fights were breaking out in school over Facebook posts and several warnings were given and you just kept at it? I'm not saying it's the school's business what you do on Facebook but I doubt your story is the whole story.
If you want to be a different fish, you've got to jump out of the school.

If you're going to be a valedictorian, please type using the English language.

Wow. If only employers gave 30 day vacations for facebook posts.
My schools administration actually had our secretary create an account, friend with as many students as possible(a small school it is). Then they monitor the students. They even accessed student accounts, by obtaining the passwords from the school computers. Of course after much up-roar and probably parental involvement, they stopped. But not to be stopped, the school invited all the parents and gave a speech on what facebook was and that parents should keep the students from using it(Who knows what exaggerated BS propaganda was used).
Anyways, I'd suggest using your parents as your weapons. That is if they are on your side. Sometimes parents are unsure of certain things and schools know this and feed them a bunch of lies(like how cops lie by omission or just lie to trick you into speaking)
