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.

3. where i first heard the phrase "the early bird gets the worm."

1. night is usually portrayed as being bad while day is good in most media
2. nocturnal animals are usually portrayed as being evil in most media

I'm not saying I'm Batman. I'm just saying you never see me and Batman in a room together.
I'm a night person, but SCREW ME, because my school doesn't care about my sleep schedule. I swear, one size most certainly does not fit all.

I like the night. I feel all ninja.
Plus, if night was so bad, would there be nightclubs and all that nightlife insanity?

RE: school is anti-night people
Then you look around at some of the unschooling parent or self reliance blogs which have mainly interesting, valid posts but when it comes to the time for classes if their kid is in college: "My kid is the best they go to school at 8:00 which makes him the most productive student there because then 2:00-midnightish is for their job, so he's at work before some of his lazy classmates even start a class! Everyone who disagrees with me is lazy!!"

RE: school is anti-night people
Id prefer classes at night. The sun is distracting.

As are other people. Really, the night is the best of all worlds to me as it gives me time to actually do things without unneccesary interruptions from other people, or other inanimate objects for that matter.

If I seem rude to you, please call me on it gently.
One thing (among many others) school couldn't teach you.

Night is better than day. I can focus better, and I can actually work without being sleep deprived most of the day. Screw the early bird that gets the worm. In my opinion, the early bird gets the worm, and an early heart attack due to not getting enough Zs. The late mole gets the underground worm, if ya get my drift.

RE: school is anti-night people
Well birds don't need to sleep in straight schedule. They make their sleep within an entire day. Our birds for example sleep most of the night but also sometimes in the day if they didn't get it all at night(sometimes they like to just sit there in this phased out manner...a bit weird)

RE: school is anti-night people
Night is better than day because of the quiet-I don't want it to be ruined with more people roaming around...Even tho an actual nightlife that doesn't involve drugs, booze or partying sounds good.
I am of the opinion that society in general is anti-night people.
Don't play chess with pigeons-they'll just knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut about like they won anyway.

RE: school is anti-night people
Well humanity was pretty anti-night till we got cheap light via electricity. Candles and lanterns were pretty expensive and not very long lasting.
