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.

Never feel unloved, because people only show hatred, as there always is someone out there, that could possibly love you.

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

I understand where you are coming from, Spartan. My relationship with my mother for the past few years has been tempestuous. It sucks.

You might find this relevant: http://eqi.org/eabuse1.htm
They're clearly the ones who are freaking out...

They don't sound like people who would be open to discussing their behaviour though... how old are you?

Spartan117, I don't know how much you hate/like your family or how much "love" comes from where, but I think this little guide here can help a little bit. It helped me Smile http://inoveryourhead.net/the-complete-g...ng-a-fuck/
We care Hug

PS: This could also maybe uplift you a little bit Smile

Also as SoulRiser said, they could be emotional manipulators of some kind, you should maybe read some about it, so you can understand they're way of thinking.

My brother did (and still does) the same. Always called me names such as fucktard,''mistake'',stupid,moron etc...
But guess what, I did not care because I knew that obviously I wasn't any of these. You gonna have to stop let words hurt you like that. Show no emotion to them as they show no emotion to you. It's some kind of a test...A parent will be broken when their son/daughter shows no love/emotion to them. And if they are not...that just proves they do love you or care about you.

Not all parents love their children, you should see SRH's and just try to be happy with yours at least. Otherwise I got nothing.

RE: I dont know if i can take it anymore.

Some suggestions for survival steps

1. Assess your environment. If you are in a prison, school, or hostile family and because of age, money, or circumstances have to remain there for a period of time, consider how to minimize the oppression you encounter.

a. Find isolation. If you can go to your room, remain in your cell, or get more time by yourself, you can reduce unwelcome attention.

b. Use approved activity as a shield. A young person who can find employment outside the house has a reason not to be home that can be considered legitimate. If you are left alone when you are doing homework, you may want to expand "homework" to include recreational reading or even skill development such as playing the guitar (who says you have to be good at it).

c. Cultivate social resources. If you can find a friend, it may be possible to come up with reasons to be away from home such as group study, library, going to school early or staying late.

2. Translate input. If people know how to get under your skin with an unkind word, you can counter with an internal translation that can take the edge off. For example, if someone calls you a worthless piece of ****, you can translate this in your mind so that you hear, "My life is out of control and I am so frustrated that I am going to blast you in a sad attempt to relieve some of the pressure I am under."

3. Plan your escape. If you are in prison and you have a couple of years to go to get out or if you are in school or an unhappy home, you can use the time you have to consider how the time you have to do could be used to an advantage for when you are free. For example, the person in prison may use his time left taking a welding class in the hopes that when he is free, he might be able to get a welding job. The student who wants to escape school, may find if he can get a welding apprenticeship so that part of his school time could be spent actually doing something useful. The person in an unhappy home might want to cultivate outside activities such as church, civil air patrol, boy scouts, or even service through an organization such as Lion's club. These outside organizations can provide reasons for being away from home and also help make connections with those from who employment could be sought when the time comes.

RE: I dont know if i can take it anymore.

something else i find helpful is to list my feelings, very specifically

here is a list to help u get started

http://www.eqi.org/cnfs.htm

then i try to figure out what i need that corresponds with each feeling.

it seems to help a lot to know just what u need cuz that tells u just where the pain is coming from and then u can maybe start to thnk about how to get what u need. if not in the near future, at least some day. and it will tell u what is important to u. that is also good to know.

it seems to help more to label and name and identify ur feelings and needs than to label people and situations. for eample instead of saying this sucks or he is a dumb ass, think about how u feel and what u need.

btw saying "i hate..." doesnt tell u what u need.
no one ever taught me to think about what i need. and im not like everyone else, and neither are u. so one of the best things i can recommend to u is get to know own needs, especially ur emotional needs.
here is a link on emotional needs

http://www.eqi.org/needs.htm

and here is some other advice type stuff about your feelings and needs
though i think i call it the top ten ways to develop ur emotional intelligence

RE: I dont know if i can take it anymore.

I have the same problem as you. How old are you and where do you live. If it's the us I need a state, so I can give you the correct information based on your state. Hopefully your 16/17 because the laws tend to start becoming more lenient then.

I'm back~
