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.

Dumbest thing ever said to me
That not cooperating with someone who really had no right to be ordering me around was somehow rude. Seriously, my friend once said 'it doesn't matter how polite you spoke, you still weren't doing what they told you.' In refference to a security guard who was trying to physically detain my girlfriend in a walmart after we searched 5 minutes for a receipt that was with our new purchases, when I finally said 'sorry but we have to go we don't need to be subjected to this.' Because we fucking didn't have to be, they were discriminatory for one in asking us without even the excuse of a scanner going off and not asking anyone else, and besides that, we hadn't done anything so obviously they had no grounds to merit blocking my girlfriends way out, she finally had to get the cashier to vouche for us. I'm sorry, no, I'm not being fucking rude by saying have a nice evening, I'm a customer and a citizen, I have every right after 5 minutes searching for a scrap of paper to say 'no, we're not opening all our baggage and stuff just for your paranoia, we have stuff to do.' I mean what's next, check ALL our receipts from every store that night? and then what, look through our bags to make sure it all lines up? because really that's the only way to be sure, other than actually watching your fucking cameras or waiting for us to at least go through the scanners before picking us out of dozens of people and holding us up with no given reason. And my friend said I was rude because I didn't cooperate, no I wasn't rude, I had every right not to cooperate.
Fuck sake

Your completely correct. I fucking hate this shit, every fucking store I go to somebody has to do something based on age. Also, you sound pretty cool.

This right here is so and your friend is no offense to you a shithead.
Security aren't cops and door checkers can only detain you if you agree to it.
You can refuse to deal with them and walk out the door when they ask for a reciept.

Only police can detain you as far as I'm concerned. The school may think otherwise, but they can go fuck themselves.

Yes..
Most stores to deal with the economic times(I worked a few stores temporary and some part time) hire lost prevention and are cheap on real security.
Lost prevention(no legal authority) and store employees cannot hold you in the store against your will and they cannot guide you to the back unless you agree to go(its not recommended as they don't have cameras back there and they can do what they want to you).
They can ask you for a receipt at the door and you can refuse but they cannot hold you in the store until you do. its just stores overstepping their boundaries.
If you meet some lost prevention and you aren't sure if their legal then ask for a badge and if they dodge the question or refuse then walk right by.
They touch you you sue and profit.
