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.

Police and Interrogation

Look at your states student rights handbook.

In mine (in the school agenda actually) it states that

"Police have the right to enter schools and the responsibility to enforce laws. If you are to be questioned by police or by school officials in the presence of police, you must be given the same rights as citizens outside the school."

This, however is ignored by students, because they refuse to learn this shit. It may also be ignored by principals too but IDK. WHY PEOPLE, WHYYY???

It's probably just propaganda for parents and the media. For show.

Realistically, it's probably likely nobody will abide by it.

Yeah, and there are probably many more police officers in many other schools.

Darthmat actually posted about something in the IRC where 30+ cop cars all came at the same time at his school to organize a drug raid. Not cool.

RE: Police and Interrogation

Some colleges have armored vehicles they bought from the military(since it was realized they purchased more then they really needed).

Why the hell would colleges need armored vehicles?

That's a good civics lesson. You have the right to cower against the wall. I don't know how these people can stand to look at their own reflections.

If the cops question you, you can plead the 5th.

I am 14, and have my own computer repair business! And I'm a small time DJ also. No joke.

RE: Police and Interrogation

Drug raids like that? They're not as severe her but we have 4-5 cop cars with K-9 units drug raid the whole school because they found 2 kids selling marijuana. And that gives them the moral right to go through sniffing EVERYONE'S locker?

Last month a girl reported her phone was missing and they were searching all her classes to see if anyone stole the phone, and included my geometry class. It was fucking asinine. They didn't find the phone, but I think they busted 2 kids for having marijuana.

It's always good to make it clear that you do not consent to any search under any circumstance.

RE: Police and Interrogation

For my high school, police searches were authorized by the paper work signed to enroll. Even though it was supposedly in our pamphlets, nobody knew until police questions kids for drug accusations in campus (we shared a college campus, so technically, it was college police).

Uhh...TheCancer...that's kinda a privilege that you have because you're an adult. 4th amendment is diminished in schools,
for students .

I'm not saying that I would physically stop them or expect them to stop even. I'm just saying that I would state that I do not consent. Anyone of any age can make that statement even if they're going to do it anyway.

RE: Police and Interrogation

My schools always had officers working there during the entire duration of the day. I've found myself interrogated by them a few times. There was once a time where I was being truthful about an incident in middle school: I knew nothing about it and thus had nothing to say. He then tried to tell me that he was trained to read body language and that he could tell I was lying. I was probably just nervous because I was being interrogated by some asshole I don't want to speak with, which probably gave off signals that would be construed as deceptiveness.

Anyway, the best thing to say in any interaction with law enforcement is "I have nothing to say without my attorney present."

Who am I? Who are YOU?

Police and Interrogation

First you say "You detaining me or am I free to go?"
if they don't say your detained(they won't say "go ahead" but you'll know you can go if what their saying doesn't involve forcibly remaining where you are), feel free to walk away cause they can't do anything.
If they say you're detained, they'll probably cuff you, or let you know you can't go.

If the case is the latter, just stfu and say you have right to remain silent and you want a lawyer. Don't answer anything. Don't react anything. Just repeat the silent/lawyer part.
