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.

OH WHAT CRUEL IRONY!?!?!?

So in high school they teach you about freedom of speech and all that good stuff but yet they can punish us for say my schools sucks online or any where else. Facebook even helps bust these people. Do you agree?

Eh, if they ever accuse you of something bad you could protest this, but if it's something like a suspension it's not worth the trouble.

Anything that ever happened or will... one condition, it has to be amazing.

No they really can't. If they try to, you should take your school to court and give us a cut of the money.

When you can be told to shut up and sit down with no good reason behind it whatsoever during a lecture on the Constitutional Rights you know something's fucked up with the system.

Even worse when your fellow students hear there rights from a teacher and don't realize they are being breached by the very institution teaching it to them.

Bullshit grammar correction
"there" isn't used to describe what someone possesses, but normally for an object's location (i.e there's a car on the road, the cup is right there). You would use "their" in that case..

See, the only way the school can punish you is if you are attending.
My school district was trying to punish me, and I just withdrew from the whole district. Ha!
