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.

My opinion's wrong

I was filling out a packet and we had to answer some questions by saying whether we thought they were true or false. One of the questions was "Do you think hunting is unfair?" and I put false and it got marked wrong.

Wut.

RE: My opinion's wrong

That's sort of like answering the question, "What is your favorite color?" and being told that "blue" is an incorrect answer.

RE: My opinion's wrong

That makes no sense...

"What is your name?" and there is only one correct answer. Thats how stupid it sounds.


And hunting isnt unfair. We are as likely to get hunted...

ya know what i cant stand, is that people say "your opinion is wrong"

Ex, "mom i think the government did 9/11" mom: "thats wrong" me: "but its my opinion" mom: "but its wrong"

School isnt as bad as you think

RE: My opinion's wrong

I do that but depending on circumstances. I will not respect your opinion that the sky is neon pink.

If a fact exists, thou hath no opinions! Everything else you free to believe(applies to me since I know myself and my probable lack of bias and my logical outlook, and similars)

My opinion's wrong

Where I live, at sunset, it's quite common for the bottom of the sky (especially during summer) to turn pink. That usually means it's a smoggy day.

RE: My opinion's wrong

As horrible as it must be to breath in, that sounds like quite a sight.
I'm reading this textbook for class based on the idea that all thought and conceptual thinking originates as a mental virus so to speak. Rejecting an idea (even when proven right) is a result of the person'a need for stability

On the usual dull normal scale. Otherwise the night sky is all colors:
