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.

I am damn fed up with S.S.D.
I was diagnosed with ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder) last month and S.S.D. (Special School District for you unknowing, it's for disabled kids) has been onto me since then. They watch me in class, the even walk me out to my GODDAMN CAR!!! An anti-SSD movement should be part of our revolt which I think should be called A.C.R.E.: Association for Children's Rights Everywhere.

Re: I am damn fed up with S.S.D.
Yes, you're sick if you don't follow orders and they can legally drug, manipulate, lock up and brainwash you.
What's the worst thing, all parents of the kids with that believe blindly the 'doctors', instead of looking for error in their own ways.
Problem, officer?

It's a pile of that they punish people for being human. I can't believe that they would sink down as far to call anyone who stands up for their beliefs crazy. If anyone (without an actual reason) went as far as walking me out to my car, I'd point to the sky and scream (try it and as soon as they aren't looking, you should run.)
I really like your idea for a name, but I think it would be better to replace Children's with Youth (A.Y.R.E.).
My mom says I'm part of the Anti-School System movement. Yeah, she really does call it the A.S.S. movement.

I don't know about that. I had it pretty bad as a kid and never told anyone, and it was really fucking annoying. Don't confuse overdiagnosis with fabrication. Some people do have it.
Wait...you mean Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, right? You weren't just trying to type ODD and made a mistake? Because, yes, ODD is a load of shit.

Re: I am damn fed up with S.S.D.
When I was little I thought I was insane and kept it a secret until I realised it was OCD. Came as a relief really, at least I wasn't insane. Actually I still haven't really done anything about it but I'm 100% sure it's OCD and I can manage it better now luckily.
OCD is DEFINITELY real, I wouldn't mind getting it cured.

Re: I am damn fed up with S.S.D.
When it comes to teenagers who started to have O.D.D symptoms as a teenager, it's a sign that their mind develops more rapidly although brain maturity isn't completely connected with a mature behavior and it could be a sign that they're a different kind of teenagers that thinks for himself/herself while avoiding doing what other people wants them to believe realizing that being in the majority isn't necessarily a good thing. ODD is only a problem when the individual is extremely young displaying rebellious behavior while the parents is trying to raise the individual the best they can by providing positive experience and guide their own life without any coercion and minimizing possible problems as much as they can. I have talked with a mother who grown up raising a son whose behavior have a natural ADHD which is so severe it conflicts at any place including at home and the mother tried raising the person the he can, but however it turns out that the son's neurological problems led him to use drugs and going homeless considering the mother had no choice, but to get him to leave the house forever due to the problem within the son. It's not always the adult's fault although it is usually the adult's fault.
ZZZ...

Re: I am damn fed up with S.S.D.
So I guess the founding fathers of america had a "disease" If they think rebellion is wrong your just basically saying. "You have no opinion, And the government is right" If no one did anything about things that are wrong we would live in a horrible world.

Re: I am damn fed up with S.S.D.
If the adults who made the rules were actually trustworthy and respectable, sensible people probably wouldn't question them all that much. Sadly this is not the case.

Ok, so the natural part is actually "often questioning crappy and nonsensical rules"?
