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.

New, dumb school 'security' policy.
I went to register for classes this year, and upon receiving my ID card, also found out that we have to wear it around our necks using school lanyards, all day long, for the entire year. If you get caught not wearing it, and that means even holding it in your hand or having it anywhere else on your body, you get a Saturday school (about four hours of useless worksheets) on the spot. Three times, and you get after school detention as well.
What I found almost sadly funny about the lanyards was that you can't even use your own, you have to choose either the $3 ones with our school's name on it, or get the Airforce, Army, or Marine lanyards for free. Its like the school is purposely conditioning its students for the military and nothing more. We've had countless visits by Army/Marines/Navy officers giving out pamphlets, and in a school-wide student survey the first choice for the question "Where are you going after High School?" was "Join the Military".
Our school administration just gets dumber every year.

Please tell me that was sarcasm 5
Also, My school has this exact same policy but they don't enforce it for shit. Most kids don't even OWN an id at all, much less wear it around their necks all day.

Re: New, dumb school 'security' policy.
Anti-American? Not necessarily I agree with what the country was founded on but I am 100% against what this country stands for now. So I guess it depends on how you look at it.

Trolled. I was poking fun at the people who's only logical conclusion to somebody having a bit of sense is that they are anti-American. Unfortunately I've encountered quite a few of these folks.

Re: New, dumb school 'security' policy.
Was about to say thought criminal that 5 was acting like the typical american nowadays.
An unquestioning idiot who believes everything the government tells them and preaches about freedom and all that.
Down here in florida they been having kids do that crap with the IDs and all that and here its like 8 dollars to replace the IDs if you lose em and 5 dollars for the little holder thing.

People give up their lives for many reasons.
For friendship, for love, for an ideal
And people kill for the same reasons.

I don't have anything against the military directly, the problem is just how our school is constantly trying to recruit us into it. If I want to join the Marines, the army, or whatever, I'd go right ahead and sign myself up. It becomes a problem when its the only thing school is trying to prepare you for is the military, or they see it as your only option out of high school.
