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.

-SoulRiser

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.

I like school.

This probably won't get any replies but it's fine as long as everyone knows.

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.

Re: I like school.

No, I've already stated that it's not because I just finished high school today. Why do you think I hadn't been here in so long anyway?

What? I don't have the same views as you guys anymore and I'm a hypocrite? Well, fuck you then.

@CC: yeah I know...but oh well.

Re: I like school.

Usually when people start liking school on this site, it only lasts for about a week until they start hating it again. Now that you aren't in it anymore, that probably won't happen.

Also, elaborate on why you like school now. Do you honestly believe they give us a better education than we can get from the alternatives?

Ok. I think it mostly has to do with the school I'm in. If I was in a different school, I probably would still hate it. Way too many good things happened to me while I was in that school. I also met some of my closest friends. And it was an overall positive experience. Seriously.

It also helps that the principal really likes me and the office people are really nice to me even when I'm late or skip school.

Re: I like school.

That makes sense then. I've met 1 or 2 good friends in school, and every once in a while a good thing will happen, and I start liking it for a little bit. Then I get slammed with mandatory state exams, and essays, and projects, and busy work, and it all just seems completely pointless and shitty.

You don't have to hate school to be against the way they are set up and managed.

I see. You're one of the lucky ones then?

Makes sense. Do you still feel it should at least be optional? (I actually don't know what your views beforehand were, so I don't know)

Because you already are their obedient sheep, otherwise you wouldn't have a reason to praise it here.
Face it, you're just trying to justify those years of slavery and fool yourself that the paper you were rewarded with is worth anything.

Re: I like school.

At least some of you guys are nice about it.

@Absentinsomniac: that's another thing kinda. I like writing, so essays/papers aren't really "work" for me. And some of the projects were fun.

@CC: yes, I definitely think high school should be optional. But only high school. Nobody should have to endure 12 years of the same shit over and over.

@CeilingShit: No. Me? Obedient? You have no idea.
I'm not saying, yeah, everything I did was super fun. A lot of it was like slavery. But MOST of it wasn't. And of course a piece of paper isn't worth everything I went through. I said no such thing.

What are you talking about betrayal? It's not like I ever wanted to start a stupid "revolution" in the first place. Ever seen me post in Youth Rights? I don't see YOU doing anything about it either....you, someone who clearly hates school with a passion.

So you can go fuck yourself too.

CeilingCat, quit being an ignorant shithead. Just because he doesn't hate school anymore doesn't mean he's going to abuse the everliving fuck out of his kids, or anything of the sort. For all we know, he's going to give them the options of doing alternatives when he has them, since that's only right.

Re: I like school.

Around 200 individual people who I remember hearing it from. Almost all the time, in the context of being unable to change anything, following orders out of fear and not sticking out of the crowd.

In other words, a bad, bad case of slave thinking.

Re: I like school.

Ceiling Cat, ok look, you can think whatever you want. At the end of the day, you don't know me. So why do you keep throwing insults around and assuming stupid shit JUST because I stated 'I like school'?

Maybe if you were in my shoes, and you experienced what I experienced, you would understand. But since you weren't, what the hell are you trying to do? Because you're not making any sense.

Quote:Almost all the time, in the context of being unable to change anything, following orders out of fear and not sticking out of the crowd.

I never said I thought I was mature just because it turns out that I do actually like school...or more specifically the school that I go to. In general, it's still pretty shit.

I'm not "slave thinking". I actually have broken a bunch of rules at school, and passed classes that I deserved to fail. I'm just lucky to have some really amazing teachers that were nice enough to let me pass. I've talked back to teachers, called them names, not done any of the work in their class, and generally not given a damn about the stuff they taught, but they would never give me any shit about it. And about the "education", I did find a few of my classes pretty interesting this year, particularly cooking, government, and psychology in which I DID learn useful things that I probably (most likely) would not have even bothered to learn by myself, believe it or not.

And last, for me it's not about "oh noez, I can't do anything about it so I'm just gonna obey"....it's always "I simply don't give a fuck".
