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.

Anti-school poem. Would appreciate thoughts.

I act like an old fart, saying I'm smart enough to have an opinion,
When I'm just a kid, shopping for sweet tarts at K-mart, still a trillion years away from maturity,
Gradually, they wash my brain and tell me what to do, whose train to jump on, what views to see,
What a man I'll be, if I be what they want, if I'll be in their line of robots.
But if I can't stand it, and I rant about it, post up the poster and revolt,
Strap myself with a revolver, postpone my death so I can spit the words of freedom, they'll have to resort
To shooting me, but since I didn't pussy out across the sea, you'll look and see, and they'll be losing ye.

I remember I used to sit bored for hours and dream of having super-powers,
I was back to reality when the fucking teacher made me to pay attention, threatened me, telling me he was up in the towers,
And I was at the bottom, and he looked down at me, exposed at his feet.
And if I wanted to survive, I was supposed to grin wide and expose those teeth,
'Sure, all's all right, I'm hanging in tight, no worries, ma, I'll go to collegde, I won't retreat.'
While I was sitting at night, razor to my wrists, wind whistling outside through the willows,
It billowed, and I cried in my pillow,
I dreamt of success and was ready to pay the fees, I was tired of kneeling at someone else's knees,
I wanted to live next to all the seas, in a queit cabin by an elm tree,
Hoping these planted seeds of oppresion ought to sprout to rebellion and free me.
I hoped to escape school and leave a friend a postcard, saying "if you get out, go to the carribean and see me."


Crime: birth
Sentence: 12 years incarceration and humiliation
Location: Prison with great public relations
Whenever a kid goes to hell, parents make a great sensation
Of the kid learning about chemical reaction and other earthly creation
But not learning tax evasion and about our nation,
And through our inaction, this crooked system will continue,
Kids will be tormented sentimentally while you twidle your thumb.
The total sum of this destruction is a brain dead generation.

I wake up dazed, in my morning haze, and when I say I'm too tired, they say I'm just lazy.
When I was up all night, doing homework and dreading school, this is driving me crazy.
Fuck this shit now; here's the work, bitch, it was a synch, I didn't give a fuck: done it in fifteen seconds on recess.
Yeah, I smoke cess, and get myself some overdue rest, get a break from this fuck-fest.
Fuck the next lesson, I'll pass the test guessin',
I spend the next detention messin'.
I'll stop stressin' out, I won't end up a failure if I don't give up my life for something I don't care about.
Yeah, teacher, honk your fucking snout,
Scream all you want, won't stopping me from doing what I want,



You fucking lout. Lousy conformist cunt, contorting young minds into conformist, getting conformed and promsing never to have fun. Sunuvabitch. Fuck that, I'll follow my dream even if I don't rich. Or any dough at all. Fuck you all, I'll prove I can stand tall and yell "FUCK SCHOOL, THIS LOUSY WORLD, AND FUCK YOU TO, PHONY CUNT."

oh and also No one has any rights. We're free, rights create invisible restrictions. But we live in a society where the majority accepts rights to be true.

Yeah, original artwork/writing does that sometimes to me. I don't know why.
