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.

My name is Jackie and I really need this site
Hello, my name is Jackie and I am a rising junior. I love learning. I love reading. Ifa class is really good, I really love that class, but this year, I've got a lot of horrible classes. I'm just so frustrated because I'm willing to learn, but the teachers I have are so narro minded in their assignments that I just suck at my homework. I'm sick of teachers favoring and not understanding the true value of students. I just want to get out right now.
ps. I've checked out this site before when I really needed it, but this is my first post. Hello!

Sounds like you'll fit in here. I like to learn too, just usually not the crap they try to stuff down our throats.

Yeah *shot* is amazing. You need 500 posts to see it though and it's probably wordfiltering in to "*shot*" for the op so she doesn't know what's going on. lawl

He also smell like roast chicken.
Joe said I should 'Turn it on high and roast an extra three minutes. Add BBQ sauce.'

Welcome to the community Jackie!
This is my main problem too. I'm a sophomore and I want to learn, but the assignments and curriculum are a waste of my time, especially when I have my own pursuits.
I'm seriously thinking of rising out now.
Sorry for the post, just needed to get that off my chest.

She probably just got bored with it.
