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.

Re: I like school.
You want to come here? lolno. Wherever you are, fucking stay there. I guarantee you will be surrounded by considerably less retards wherever the hell it is you are.

Re: I like school.
Ha! I can kind of understand about moving away from Australia. I mean, I've been hearing about the government seriously censoring a lot of stuff. They made a censored version of the game "Left 4 Dead 2" where you don't get to see blood, no limbs tearing apart, and all the bodies disappearing. I saw a video of what it looked like on youtube, and it seriously didn't look as fun!
I remember this one game reviewer, Yahtzee, who lives in Australia, saying that the reason why the game was censored was because they had a crotchity old government that believes that anyone under the age of 30 is going to be a repeating sex offender waiting to happen.
As someone from the US, though, I kind of wish I could move to Canada. Well, mainly because my future drummer is from that country.
Anyway back on topic.....
CH, so you're done with high school? What do you plan on doing now? Despite what Ceiling Cat is talking about, I'm glad that you actually liked school, or at least, enjoyed a small part of your life. I'm not really big on school. I guess it's because that I feel like I know what I wanna do now, and I'm willing to drop out, but I don't want to do it alone, and no one else seems like that they'd actually want to drop out, so, I'm guess I'm stuck.
Hey man, I hope future events go well for you!

Re: I like school.
People here at SS know exactly what's going on over there. Since we have a lot of people from there. But. I'd still prefer Australia. Pirating FTW.

I plan on going to college. Even another reason I liked high school, because I didn't do SHIT, compared to some other stupid overachievers, and I STILL got into the same universities they did.
It's....laughable almost.

seriously that would not be fun at all even though I hate the U.S. I'm kind of glad I live here sometimes. Hey I'm dropping out too. Future drummer? are you going to make a band or already in one?

HA! I go to a prep school, and I do just enough to where I have time to actually do what I want, and I some how make it on the Nation Honors Society with barely even trying. Serisously, when ever we get works sheets, I usually just fill in a bunch of random crap, and that seems good enough for the school. The only two classes where I actually had to work at was English and Euro, since you had to actually read stuff and do essays over it.
Oh, to answer Blood Demon's question...well, it's kind of a long story, but in the short of it, I happen to find this drummer who's from Canada, and she seems to be pretty good! I'm already in a band, though our drummer right now doesn't know how to play drums, but he gets by really well somehow. I'd describe his life with he can get a high paying job and not have to do shit because he's a lucky son of a bitch. But I don't think this band is going to last long, even if it does, I know that the drummer I have right now isn't going to last though, because he actually promised to be our band manager in the future. Ha, he said he'd get us a crappy van and everything. Sounds promising to me! But, yea, once I get out of school, I know exactly what I'm doing!

I'm no longer anti school. Well, not that much anyway.
And it's not because I just finished high school today, which I was actually sad about. I actually realized it a long time ago.
For those who might be wondering, I'm not being sarcastic.
Many people don't, but they still have to go.

i bet you just miss school because you might not get to see a lot of friends again who went to your school

Re: I like school.
Blah, I kind of liked school when I was in it. I mean K-12. It wasn't until I was in college that I started to hate school and realize how awful it was. I liked school when I was <12 because I didn't take it seriously. I liked it after that because I liked math. And I liked the foreign language classes I took in high school. I didn't think I hated "school", I thought I just hated certain classes. I was brainwashed. But I escaped.
