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.

I have to re-learn the basics of the site again, but all is well!
It's been just over a year guys, and I have missed you. Boy do I have some stories for you guys.

Great, but I'll get better.
What've you been up to since last you left?

Well let's see.
I ended up moving out of my Dad's, and stayed with his ex-girlfriend [Who is still, to this day, like a mother to me]. My agreement with her was that I would do online school as long as I lived there.
I didn't do that so I got kicked out :I
Went back to my Dad's for a few days, then found my way down to my Mother's, about an hour away from my dad's. My mother actually ended up getting kicked out of that place, due to some drug stuff. (Oh yeah, this was a drug house.) I stayed there and acted as a nanny to the kids. (I'll go more into detail on that situation later.)
They dropped me off at my Great Gran's house, and left me there. So I called my Dad and had him rescue me. I live with him and my Step-Mother now, and I attend an okay school and am getting back on track with this thing we all call "life".

This was all over a period of like, 7 months. I'm just too lazy to put much effort into it at the moment. I've been here for almost 6 months now, so, that pretty much balances out the year.

Hmm...
Welcome back.
Your username sounds familiar. I may have stumbled upon it perhaps in the corpsified threads of this site's past.
