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.

Wow, that's really interesting. I've had teachers keep it SOOO hot or really really cold.
Honestly this bitch who always arrives late, acts all shy which is what a teacher should NOT be, doesn't teach good at all, a push over, boring, ugly, stupid, etc etc.
Another teacher is a right wing Conservative blow hard who loves to hear himself talk.
I went to a small middle school. There isn't any opportunity to switch classes, and getting bumped ahead is a major pain for both teachers and students because in your final years there is no one qualified to teach you.
Anyways, this teacher never went up and lectured. Never played games. Just hour after hour of documentary on History topics while he ate his lunch. He was known for going on long and bigoted/hypocritical rants, which I never really bothered paying attention to. I could learn a weeks' worth of information in the period of a few short hours.
As previously mentioned, I never concerned myself with his rants. One day while I'm in class, I lean to my right to grab my binder out of my bookbag. Due to his own damn seating chart, my friend was to the immediate right of me. He assumes I'm talking, and goes wild. Over the course of the (8 minute-long) rant, he calls me arrogant, a know it all who isn't smart(?), and a whiner. Of course I respond by saying I wasn't talking, and he responds with, 'that's a load of crap'.
So I leave, extremely pissed off, to my next class. But I don't tell my parents or the principal. I'd rather not prove his point about me 'whining', and I'm not out for blood at that point. Just an apology. I wait until the next day, and early morning I go in. Figuring that he may have been stressed out, I try to give him the benefit of the doubt. People make mistakes. I go in, and ask to talk to him in private about what happened in class the previous day. Before I can get another word in, he yells about how horribly unfair the system is and how *I* should be apologizing to him over what happened. He threatens to get parents involved, and tells me that he's going to the principal immediately.
Of course I have to go to my next class for now. Show up a few hours later in my class and he has the audacity to bitch me out a second time. He says something along the lines of 'if you don't want to be here, you can leave'. So I get up and walk out mid-sentence, flipping him off as I go. It was too much for me to handle. I head to the principals and tell him everything. Teacher gets in trouble, but makes the rest of my year in his class a hell.
Aaaaand, story done. Glad to have that said.

My current English teacher! She misspells easy words, gets innocent people into trouble, gives too many C2's (C2 is two negative points and a sanction) and C4's (C4 is 4 negative points, removal and departamental detention) and is a homework lover. I don't mind her giving me a C4, because when I get it, I have a detention with the English teacher that I like. But I do mind her giving me C2's, yelling for no reason, her not teaching properly and her giving five homeworks in one day and having only 3 days to do them! I want to move to my favourite English teacher's class, but the rubbish English teacher is not letting me. Whoever creates students' timetables, they made a huge mistake. And I always know which teacher I get, because on my timetable it shows teacher's initials and my timetable is always shown to me early. Plus my current English teacher stole my pencil case this Friday!

Update: When it was nearly the end of November, she started teaching us about hell. SHE IS AN ENGLISH TEACHER! WHY THE HELL WOULD AN ENGLISH TEACHER TEACH ABOUT HELL WHEN WE SHOULD LEARN ABOUT HELL IN RS AND NOT IN ENGLISH?! HOW THE HELL WILL I PASS MY EXAM IF MY ENGLISH TEACHER TEACHES THINGS SHE IS NOT SUPPOSED TO?! Guess what? Her classroom is one massive hell.

Agreed.
Me too.
Hidden stuff:
"CONSENSUAL incest is not wrong. (Abuse victims: being abused by a relative does not make it wrong for others to have consensual incest, any more than rape by a stranger makes all sex wrong. Sex and assault/molestation are two different things.) An aversion became common in humans that aided in population growth as one disease couldn't wipe out the human race. That's not a problem anymore.
Consensual incest is very common. You know people who have been involved, whether you know it or not.
There is no rational reason for keeping laws or taboos against consensual
incest that is consistently applied to other relationships. Personal disgust or religion is only a reason why one person would not want to personally engage in what I call consanguinamory, not why someone else shouldn't do it. An adult should be free to share love, sex, residence, and marriage with ANY consenting adults. Youthful experimentation between close relatives close in age is not uncommon, and there are more people than you'd think out there who are in lifelong healthy, happy relationships with a close relative. It isn't for everyone, but we're not all going to want to have each others' love lives, now are we? If someone thinks YOUR love life is disgusting, should you be thrown in prison?
Some people try to justify their prejudice against consanguineous sex and
marriage by being part-time eugenicists and saying that such relationships inevitably lead to “mutant” or “deformed” babies. This argument can be refuted on several fronts. 1. Some consanguineous relationships involve only people of the same gender. 2. Not all mixed-gender relationships birth biological children. 3. Most births to consanguineous parents do not produce children with significant birth defects or other genetic problems; while births to other parents do sometimes have birth defects. 4. We don’t prevent other people from marrying or deny them their reproductive rights based on increased odds of passing along a genetic problem or inherited disease. It is true that in general, children born to consanguineous parents have an increased chance of these problems than those born to nonconsanguineous parents, but the odds are still minimal. Unless someone is willing to deny reproductive rights and medical privacy to others and force everyone to take genetic tests and bar carriers and the congenitally disabled and women over 35 from having children, then equal protection principles prevent this from being a justification to bar this freedom of association and freedom to marry.
Some say "Your sibling should not be your lover." That is not a reason. It begs the question. Many people have many relationships that have more than one aspect. Some women say their sister is their best friend. Why can’t their sister be a wife, too?
Some say “There is a power differential.” This applies least of all to siblings or cousins who are close in age, but even where the power differential exists, it is not a justification for denying this freedom to sex or to marry. There is a power differential in just about any relationship, sometimes an enormous power differential. To question if consent is truly possible in these cases is insulting and demeaning.
Some say “There are so many people outside of your family." There are plenty of people within one’s own race, too, but that is no reason to ban interracial marriage. So, this isn't a good reason either. Let consenting adults love each other the way they want!"-Keith Pullman

And now she's refusing to give me my exam results. I hope I get a better teacher next year.
