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.

Life of an Attention Whore
might be going back to some school type thing to get NCEA level 2. would get my restricted licence there too. don't know yet. will know more tomorrow or on monday i think. ideally i'll be going into this work kind of thing but my age may be an issue there for whatever reason.
ugh, waiting.
i can't be bothered retyping this so:
<Gwedin> man
<Gwedin> wish i never deleted my diaries
<Gwedin> they were
<Gwedin> good
<Gwedin> :|
<Gwedin> there was
<Gwedin> three of them
<Gwedin> that i deleted
<Gwedin> gay.
<Gwedin> my blog is
<Gwedin> horrible
<Gwedin> in telling me
<Gwedin> how my thoughts have changed
<Gwedin> i don't feel compelled to write a lot in my blog
<Gwedin> whereas with the diaries
<Gwedin> it was different

RE: Life of an Attention Whore
Well, Gwedin does.
This is in order to see how his thoughts have progressed from his younger days. He had written his thoughts into a diary, which are now, much to Gwedin's regret, lost. Although his blog serves the same purpose as a diary would, Gwedin feels that it is not sufficent to serve this pursuit. Therefore, his expressions of regret are, in the eyes of many, considered to be understandable and justified.

Life of an Attention Whore
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee christmas. i bought my lil bro some shit. could've bought heaps more easily but i'm using the "i'm on the dole so don't have much money lol" excuse. lollies are so fucking expensive (good riddance honestly). excited to see dog and cats again.
started going to this "support" place. you can go there to chill out or do activities. or to eat lunch. it costs money but they make it real cheap cuz mental fuckwits are poorcunts. did a woodwork thing yesterday there. thing i made was shitty but it was heaps of fun so who gives a fuck. reckon i'll start going regularly just to get away from this fucking room and this gay computer.
no job yet :/ the whole "holidays" thing is messing up everything to do with getting that up so shit gets back on track around new years. waiting, waiting, so much fun. referees are an issue. the gap is an issue. joy, joy.
god i fucking love communist music
fuck the heat
what a shitty post this is.

In my current state this is very difficult as I have no car or teacher or contact willing to let me use their car/be my teacher.
buuuuuuuuut I'll hopefully be starting a course soon that'll allow me to get one. And a forklift licence to boot! Hasn't been confirmed whether or not I'll get on the course but I'm hoping for the best there.
like the new siggy btw

yeah cheers.
short term/immediate goals now i guess are:
- hold down the job
- start eating more & better (i've lost roughly 16kg since i started living here (i needed to lose weight but the rate at which im losing it is kinda alarming)). gonna be difficult cuz imma be exhausted proabbly and i just hate cooking here and i get full really easy.
- look into driving lessons
long term or whatever i guess is basically save up as much money as possible for moving into my own place and getting my own car and then other things *cough* :|
and of course get my restricted licence. not gonna move into my own place before i get that.

Life of an Attention Whore
fuck me my back is killing me lately (only coincidental it happened around the time of work). but ugggghhhh its so annoying. my back is gonna be FUCKED when i'm older lmao
had my first day of work yesterday and my first "proper" day today. "proper" as in i actually worked. but i only worked half the day cuz the first half was paperwork paperwork paperwork
it was ok. i was covered in fucking blood and guts and i managed to burn my arm on a hot pipe like a dumbfuck but luckily it wasn't too bad. my supervisor told me to stop working so hard. my trainee fella guy said i'm making good progress or something. i was basically ripping livers, hearts and lungs off shit most of the time. barely got to use the knife which is kinda good tbh because im still pretty shitty at sharpening the thing. oh well. the fucking sweat was the biggest issue cuz i couldn't wipe it off or scratch my face cuz guts and blood covering my gloves and health&safety regulations and shit. but oh well i'll get used to it.
the fella's there are a lot nicer than i expected ._. haven't got any shit for being so young but i have gotten a bit of shit from my knife teacher for being fucking daft. he calls me "lofty" but it's all in good fun and banter and such. w/e

working on the slaughter line in a meat processing plant. it's a rotational thing so like every half hour or hour (still havent figured it out yet) we rotate and take somebody else's job. it's kinda inefficient but it's really good for not straining muscles.
i got a lot better today. my trainer fella reckons i should be good to go on my own in a couple of weeks. he was ranting to me about his last trainee dude and said like "at least you can fucken listen" and i just lolled cuz im a deaf daft dumbass.
but yeah nah it's good. except for that i have work tomorrow. tomorrow is saturday. and i gotta wake at like 5am. ughies

Life of an Attention Whore
I think I like this boarding house. People come and go, some of them are shit and boring, others are nice and have interesting stories to tell. I'm the kind of person to be exhausted by talking but learning about these different people is quite nice. I was talking to a former teacher before who hates the way schools are run, lol. He'd fit in here perfectly honestly. All different sorts coming through here. It's the older ones I generally enjoy talking to more
Dunno where I'm going with this, i'm tired fuck off why are you reading this shit blog
