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.

How old are you and what grade are you in?

If you want to be a different fish, you've got to jump out of the school.

9th grade is the toughest. You're at the darkest point just before dawn. If you hang on things will get better.

RE: im so screwed

Suicide is never the answer ...I am almost in the same situation as you which I don't know if will make through this year but I don't have f's at every subject.
I know that it is hard for you because of your health problems during the year but you can't 'save' your grades? :/

Like TheCancer said... things do get better. There are a lot more people in the world than the ones you're currently around.

If you have all F's, it might be worth considering alternatives to whatever kind of school you're in. The big question is, what do you need to do to get where you're at now, to your life in the future?

In other words: what do you need to learn, experience, do.... who do you need to meet, etc?

Your current grades likely have little if anything to do to those steps (however important people in your life are making them out to be right now.)

Do you have some interests to explore, or ideas for what you'd like to do in the future?

Sounds like it's one of those meds you should probably get off of gradually... do you have any more of the stuff lying around? Or is taking it worse than withdrawals?

Don't give up though... If the people around you won't be supportive, find others... and you always have us at least. Hug

And can you possibly talk your parental units into some alternatives to school?

Ugh... military school can be really bad, especially with your current health. Do whatever possible to avoid going there :(

Would they actually do it, though? Can they afford to? I think those places aren't cheap. If they can afford that, then they can definitely afford a better education for you. Razz

Are they serious?

I think it's important to have a discussion to your parents about some other kind of learning.... are they aware of alternatives?

RE: im so screwed

Do you have any interest in online schooling? Some school districts would be willing to pay for it and you wouldn't have to deal with the personal aspects of school. I don't think your parents sound like the type to be open to homeschooling. You should research what other alternatives are available in your area as well. Maybe you'd rather go to a technical school? I don't know you, so it's hard to say what would be best for you, but you should look for an alternative that seems preferable to you and then bring it up to your parents, even if you don't think they'll listen. It's better than not trying to at all. Military school isn't really a good fit for most people. :|

Any luck? We might be able to help you research online school stuff, if you tell us (vaguely) what area you're in.

There's also this:
