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.

School rules should also apply to teachers
It's annoying when you aren't even allowed to have water bottles in class and the teacher pulls out A FUCKING SODA. The teachers always say that we can't have water bottles because we can go to the water fountain, which would be true if they actually allowed us to use the water fountain during class. Same is true if you aren't allowed to play games or read the internet during free time, and on the teacher's computer, there's a game of Minesweeper or an article on the screen. The worst is probably cursing rules. The teacher goes on a rant with dozens of swear words, but I get internal if the they hear me say "damn?" Really? I just feel it's ridiculous that teachers can do things the students can't. But society views us kids as second-class citizens, so that won't change....

RE: School rules should also apply to teachers
Tape a mirror to your teachers' faces. They sound stupid enough to fall for it.
Hello, traveler.
This is an ancient account I have not used in a long time. My views have changed much in the intervening months and years.
Nonetheless, I refuse to clean it up. Pretending that I've held my current views since the beginning of time is what we in the industry call a lie. Asking people to do so contributes to moralistic self-loathing. "See, those people have nothing damning! I do! I'm truly vile!"
Because you can never be a good person with a single blemish on the moral record, I thought that simply entertaining some thoughts made me irredeemable. Though I don't care for his writing style, William Faulkner presents a good counterexample. He went from being a typical Southern racist to supporting the civil rights movement. These days we'd yell at him for that, probably.
People are allowed to change their views.
Nevertheless, this period of my life has informed some of how I am today. In good ways and bad ways. To purge it would be to do a disservice to history. Perhaps it will not make anyone sympathetic, but it may help someone understand.
If, after reading all this, you still decide to use the post above as evidence that I am evil today, ask yourself if you have never disagreed with the moral code you now follow. In all likelihood you did, at some point. If some questions are verboten, and the answer is "how dare you ask that," don't expect your ideological opponents to ever change their minds.

Only the first one is from my current teachers. The second is from last year (and said teacher retired) and the third is an example from elsewhere on the internet.

People like to make rules. They like it more when they don't have to follow it.

Is that such a bad thing? I'd rather the classroom smell like soda than bullshit.

RE: School rules should also apply to teachers
This used to really get on my nerves, the drink thing especially. There was another thing as well... I'll post it when I can recall it.
This is far fetched, but maybe it's the idea that teachers can handle the "responsibility" of handling a drink more than a student? That's terrible...

Or maybe because while the students are actively supervised, as the teacher is almost always in the room for the entire time, the supervisors for teachers don't stay in the room, and probably rarely make their rounds to check in on classes.

Yes. They rarely hand out detention, and instead go to that extreme instead.
