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.

Today in art, the girl who wanted to kill her English teacher was rude to me. First, she was trying to trick me into thinking that her English teacher is nearby. Then, she told me that she will tell her that I hate her, even though I don't. It didn't end here.
When it was nearly the end of the lesson, my teacher said that something in the classroom stinks. The kids laughed. Then, this girl said that I stink. I said "And you give me cancer!" She told the teacher and I was sent outside. I had to tell the teacher what happened. I was later told to apologise. So I did as I was told, but the girl yelled "No, I hate you!" I told her that I hate her too. She also said that she will tell, my Director of Learning, my Pastoral Leader and her English teacher. I told her that I will report her to those teachers. I was sent out again and got a C1, while the girl got away with being rude to me. She got away either because she's different race than me and the teacher or just because she's the teacher's favourite (She is actually a teacher's favourite but I'm not sure whether that's the reason she got away). After I came back to class, I told the teacher that in Year 10 I'll be worse even if I don't want to, because Year 10 students are evil. Because they are. Why do you think five Year 10 boys wanted to get my math teacher fired in November? I threatened to commit suicide later on.
Can't I NOT get a C1 in at least one lesson? And if I can't, can't the people who are rude to me get C1's too? Plus the teacher said she won't be in tomorrow, and if anyone misbehaves, she'll give them a C3 (Three Negative Points and Lunchtime Detention) when she's back. I wish I knew how to deal with this girl.
Please help me. I don't want a C3 on Monday.

Nagma really seems like a jerk, and those teachers really seem not to be helping at all. The fact that those teachers seem not to be helping may make dealing with these problems harder for you. In order to deal with Nagma, I'm not really sure of how to, but one thing for sure, try not to physically attack her, and try not to retaliate with what the teachers would call "harsh," as it may lead towards more "trouble."
Now, about help, like I said, I'm not really good at dealing with these types of students, as I had no experience with peers who would bully me (only teachers, ironically,) but perhaps telling a teacher who'll most likely listen to you would really help. Chances are, if it's a teacher that'll listen to you, your problems will probably be solved. If it's a teacher that will not take you seriously, most likely, they will not be reliable to ask for help.
Many people will just say "tell any teacher." However, they weren't really specific on whether to tell a teacher that would actually take it seriously, compared to a teacher that doesn't care.
Now, for the bad teachers part, parents could be a reliable way of dealing with them, but not if your parents are just people who will not take you seriously.
Also, don't commit suicide. It'll only prevent chances of things getting better, even though it's escaping your problems.
All else I can really say is that I really hope things get better for you soon. I tried my best with advice, so correct me if I'm wrong on anything.
Comparing students by their personality is like comparing a blanket to the sun, in terms of which one produces more light. Comparing students is just an excuse to exploit their weaknesses.

WTF? That's not your call to make...
Hidden stuff:
"CONSENSUAL incest is not wrong. (Abuse victims: being abused by a relative does not make it wrong for others to have consensual incest, any more than rape by a stranger makes all sex wrong. Sex and assault/molestation are two different things.) An aversion became common in humans that aided in population growth as one disease couldn't wipe out the human race. That's not a problem anymore.
Consensual incest is very common. You know people who have been involved, whether you know it or not.
There is no rational reason for keeping laws or taboos against consensual
incest that is consistently applied to other relationships. Personal disgust or religion is only a reason why one person would not want to personally engage in what I call consanguinamory, not why someone else shouldn't do it. An adult should be free to share love, sex, residence, and marriage with ANY consenting adults. Youthful experimentation between close relatives close in age is not uncommon, and there are more people than you'd think out there who are in lifelong healthy, happy relationships with a close relative. It isn't for everyone, but we're not all going to want to have each others' love lives, now are we? If someone thinks YOUR love life is disgusting, should you be thrown in prison?
Some people try to justify their prejudice against consanguineous sex and
marriage by being part-time eugenicists and saying that such relationships inevitably lead to “mutant” or “deformed” babies. This argument can be refuted on several fronts. 1. Some consanguineous relationships involve only people of the same gender. 2. Not all mixed-gender relationships birth biological children. 3. Most births to consanguineous parents do not produce children with significant birth defects or other genetic problems; while births to other parents do sometimes have birth defects. 4. We don’t prevent other people from marrying or deny them their reproductive rights based on increased odds of passing along a genetic problem or inherited disease. It is true that in general, children born to consanguineous parents have an increased chance of these problems than those born to nonconsanguineous parents, but the odds are still minimal. Unless someone is willing to deny reproductive rights and medical privacy to others and force everyone to take genetic tests and bar carriers and the congenitally disabled and women over 35 from having children, then equal protection principles prevent this from being a justification to bar this freedom of association and freedom to marry.
Some say "Your sibling should not be your lover." That is not a reason. It begs the question. Many people have many relationships that have more than one aspect. Some women say their sister is their best friend. Why can’t their sister be a wife, too?
Some say “There is a power differential.” This applies least of all to siblings or cousins who are close in age, but even where the power differential exists, it is not a justification for denying this freedom to sex or to marry. There is a power differential in just about any relationship, sometimes an enormous power differential. To question if consent is truly possible in these cases is insulting and demeaning.
Some say “There are so many people outside of your family." There are plenty of people within one’s own race, too, but that is no reason to ban interracial marriage. So, this isn't a good reason either. Let consenting adults love each other the way they want!"-Keith Pullman

Uptade: A day later I found out that my art teacher forgot to put a C1 on the system, so I got no negatives. I'm sorry that I couldn't reply in a while.
