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 am so sick of this
I am freaking done with this. I have reached a breaking point. I don't want good grades, I don't want to be judged and get a useless scholarship, I don't want any of that bullshit. I just want it to end.
I don't want to commit suicide because that would hurt everybody. But I don't want to keep living in this daily hell.
I am just DONE. Life is freaking STUPID, evil is STUPID, and worst of all, school is STUPID.
I am sick and tired of wasting my days stuck inside this prison working for the mind I already have so I can just lay some dead-end job like everybody else who actually got good grades at school. My mother, my father, and pretty much everybody in my family got good grades, and none of them are doing their dream or they never had a dream at all.
I am sick of this, I don't want to be an engineer, a Scientist, nothing like that, I want to be a CREATOR! I want to create things and write stories, and I have already made so many ideas in my head.
School is a WASTE of my time, and I can't take it anymore. When summer ends, I am going to show my parents how much I hate it. If only I had the guts to tell them and every teacher and supervisor now, but I don't. You know what? Screw this, I am going to go burn my school papers right now.
Sorry aliens. No intelligent life here.
Ugh. School wrecked me. At least I still have my sanit- nope, never mind... um... I still have a relationship with my frien- nope, lost that too. Wait... Something is coming... YES! I STILL HAVE MY IMAGINATION!

RE: I am so sick of this
Oh wow.
Roboka, I'm not going to lie, I've been in a very similar position, way back in October-December 2013. I pretty much said that I didn't care about things like grades, what other people thought of me, I essentially wanted to be free from society. I was extremely depressed, but I had enough conscience to be aware that suicide wasn't going to solve anything. What was so scary about that time period in my life was that I didn't have a plan, I didn't know where to go or who to turn to. I spent my days during this period mindlessly browsing the SS Forums, YouTube, etc. I was aware I was in a vicious cycle of browsing the internet mindlessly and wasting time, but I didn't know how to end it, nor did I have the motivation to stop it.
Roboka, what are your options of getting out of school? Are there any kind of exit exams that you can take? Would your parents support some kind of alternative education?
In the meanwhile I can give you some suggestions. Write a daily journal if you don't have one. Not only will this help you develop metacognition, but this will also be able to let you go "back in time" and see where you were before, and see the progress you've made.

RE: I am so sick of this
My parents get so mad at me, the older brother telling my little sister (she's a freaking genius) to drop out of school if she wants too. Why bother? What's wrong with a GED? So I know how you feel, but I just graduated high school and am pretty glad I stuck with it. For bragging rights lol
The REALLY, and I mean this, important thing is to be honest with your parents (or whoever you live with) and tell them what you want to do and why. I'm trying this and so far it's not working. Life is so much easier if you have supporters in your experiments in life!
