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.

Hello everybody here! I'm ComradeDaryl, and yes, I picked my username because of Daryl Dixon. I love the Walking Dead, it's the only show in the 21st century that'll I'll ever watch, probably other than Game of Thrones. Also, my online classes are paradise compared to the public high school I attended just over a month ago, since I can do my online classes whenever the fuck I want. It's extremely lenient and easy, and I don't want to tell anybody what online high school I am taking(sorry).
I am a nice autistic guy who gets along far better with females in general, since all the guys in general think I'm weird. If I get mad, I can be real rude once in a while, but usually, I just fucking cry instead. My relations with my parents are very good, especially after I started taking online classes. I plan on living in Spanish-speaking South America with my family in the next 5 years or so, since the US feels extremely degenerated compared to the country I was born in.
What are my politics, you say? I do not consider myself any label, but I am extremely anti-imperialist, and critical of imperialism of all stripes, whether it be American, British, Japanese, German, Russian, etc(I think the most imperialist countries today are the Americans, British, and Russians). I also oppose Capitalism as much as I oppose Marxist-Leninism/Stalinism and Nazism.
My interests are:
*Learning Spanish and Russian
*Learning programming languages
*Hanging out with girls/women(they are kinder in general, more open-minded, and far less likely to be racist, sexist, homophobic, etc)
Comrade Daryl I would think you're pretty much under the left Anarchist category which is like the democratic free school model except applied to all institutions including the workplace, since you're against authoritarian socialism, fascism, hierarchy in capitalism and exploitation, against patriotism and nationalism. Also your name being ComradeDaryl is a hint. Or you could be the guy that advocates for the Scandinavian model. I don't know much about politics myself. But there's definitely more to politics than liberal and republican. From what I know from the anarchist spectrum there's anarcho-syndicalism, anarchist with adjectives, anarcho-primivitist (good ole hunter gatherer days), anarcho-capitalism, anarcho-communism, anarcho-trans humanism (new thing I learned).

Welcome! Im not sure what country exists in South America thatd be better than the US in any sense of the word. Im also curious if you know what capitalism actually is.
And I think the women thing is far too generalized. Biological sex doesnt determine how -ist one will be. A chick could be kind simply to be polite, while in reality she isn't exactly very fond of you.
Why do you want to learn Russian as a language? (Im assuming spanish is related to the moving to South America thing).

I do somewhat fit in with left-libertarians/anarchists in general. I don't really describe myself in any political label though. Thanks, and also, I don't advocate for the Scandinavian model since it still is Capitalism.

1. Spanish is one of the easiest languages in the world in my view. I also have a pen pal in Argentina. There's a lot more wilderness over there so you can start a commune.
2. My best friend and only friend is a girl, and I've only had 3 friends in my entire life, including her. She's been a lot nicer than any of my guy friends ever were, and really cares for me(she's not my date though).
3. I want to learn Russian as a language, because it seems interesting in many ways, it has 150 million native speakers plus an additional 110 million non-native speakers.
Brainiac, have you ever visited the beautiful countries of Uruguay, Argentina, or Chile? While they may not be as developed as the U.S. they definitely have a decent standard of living and very stable governments. Plus, Argentina not only has a great soccer team but a great rugby team as well. Also, Costa Rica is noice, even though its Central America.
Welcome aboard Daryl! I notice that a lot of people on here tend to be autistic or have some other "learning disability", which doesn't surprise me given that we're the most likely to be disenfranchised with the education system. I personally consider myself a progressive libertarian, and I sort of understand where you are coming from with women/girls... though overall I like people who aren't from the US or share a US mentality.

I would describe it pretty much as the least worst system in the globalized world. I mean yes there is shorter school hours per day, a 3 month summer vacation, free lunch, but It's still otherwise teacher on the top and student downwards. Also I would like to get into religion but due to being in a fundmentalist christian kind of setting as my religious outlet my whole entire 15 years of my life, I have distaste for it, and whenever I hear someone turning very religious I cringe. It's kind of hard for me at this point, but I think I can go through it.

Strangely enough I want to live in Poland, or really any European country. But that's because I feel my personal views match more with Western/Central Europeans.
If not Argentina, Chile or Uruguay, I'm going to Canada or New Zealand. I'm taking online classes that you can do lessons whenever you want, although I prefer not showing the website, at least for now. Also, I'm a very serious person, and I don't take kindly to sarcasm at all. I also sympathize with Libertarians(as much as I don't like Capitalism), because they are at least against imperialism of all stripes, advocate privacy, and advocate freedom.
Edit 1: It was kind of not easy to convince my parents to get me out of formal schooling.
TRIGGER WARNING: THIS TRIGGER WARNING CONTAINS TRIGGER WARNINGS!
Dear Tumblrites:Despite your wrongly self-diagnosedPTSD, no line ofscientific evidencesuggests people can be triggered over theinternet. Triggering works through thesenses(i.e. smell, taste, touch, vision, hearing.) but it goes throughreal time; if you're not experiencing it in real life as it'sACTUALLY HAPPENINGin yourACTUALlife, youCANNOTbe triggered. The only exception to this is if you have aseizure, but then again, that's triggered byepilepsy(i.e. rapidly-changing flashing lights)NOT PTSD. Remembering a bad incident is NOT the same thing as having aflashback. When you remember, youthink; when youflashback,youfeel.

Welcome to the forums you can also join in on our IRC chat we are mostly there but more on the forums so welcome aboard School Survival.
Damn parents will never allow me to do online school/homeschooling/unschooling (my parents feel unschooling is a hoax, and I appearently need to be around other people alot, so public school is pretty much my only option).
