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.

Why did I do that.

Okay, so I did a stupid thing and tried going to school with a cold. When I woke up in the morning, it wasn't so bad, but it got worse as the day went by.
And I also kinda passed it onto my girlfriend. x.x
I have failed.

So, tell me about your day. I hope it was better than mine.

RE: Why did I do that.

I once went to school with some sort of ailment...I'm not too sure what it was, but I had a pretty high fever and by 9th period (second to last class) I could barely pay attention and decided "Fuck it, I'm sleeping and she can bitch at me later about it."...I was in the front row, and she didn't even care (no detention or anything)...then I told my mom when I got home, and she told me how she would have called me in sick and I was just conditioned by years of just dealing with things that hurt my body that I went anyways bc fuck it, it wasn't that bad in the morning anyways.

The less you try to control things, the less you need to.

"free speech under the constitution only guarantees the government won't stop him saying it and does not guarantee his right to say things and have no consequences at all as a result. also i completely doubt that he is motivated solely by "i'm saying it because i can" and is probably motivated by a more shitheady motive like "i think it's funny to annoy people and Rustle Le Jimmies™ and is just hiding behind the first amendment to try to deflect any consequences or make you realize that being allowed to annoy people is a superior moral right. you can still disdain someone for doing things for dumbarse wankery purposes and you have evne more right to ban and insult them for it" ~Trar's friend about Potato.

Thanks for the diploma… can I have my childhood back?

I’d love to have a battle of wits with you… but I hate to fight the unarmed.

Why did I do that.

I had to go to school sick a lot, given that I also stayed home from school sick a lot. I also got sick at school a lot. It got to the point that I was falling ill for three weeks in a row and catching the flu literally hours before winter break. Talk about a goddamned petri dish. If it turns out public schools are being used as modern day version of the Tuskegee syphilis thing, I'll break some skulls.

Same here because I have to go to Summer School (which my parents can't afford) if I miss more than 12 days.

For anyone who remembers me going on an archive binge: Thank you all. I know I ended it being a drama queen, I don't really agree with the ideology anymore, and I'm really not the same person I was (I went through a neopagan phase!) but still this site was the first online community I was in. I graduated from school and turned 18. Time flies. KFC Nyan Cat, June 20, 2019.

I missed like 77 days my last year. They gave me work to do during my 'homeschooling' because I was so behind. I don't think I finished all of it.
