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: Boy Suspended for Long Hair
Teachers bullied me in basic school for being a trap. Nothing new to me, it's yet another bible bullshit. Or maybe the teachers were pedo and fell for the trap within their thoughts.
Problem, officer?

Carla Franklin may be a whore. She may be a wonderful, kind, moral woman. Seeing as I don't know her personally, I cannot know for sure. However, I find her actions (suing Google, requesting the personal info of her critics, getting angry over random internet idiocy that she should ignore and be bigger than, trying to get this site in trouble because of a few users' commentary on the situation, etc.) pretty ridiculous and unwarranted. If she didn't want people to to be talking about/judging her, well 1. that's impossible, she's a human, and 2. she shouldn't have been a model or agreed to be on film. AND 3. she DEFINITELY shouldn't have sued Google and made all this fuss over a few random idiots whom she probably won't ever know expressing their opinion. Mmkay? MMKAY.

Windows are distractions, i can't even begin to tell you how many times i've stared out the window all of class. I don't see them taking out windows any time soon.

Re: Boy Suspended for Long Hair
What is with people and guys having long hair? I have it, and no one has been distracted by it. Even if they were, why is it my responsibility to make sure everyone is comfortable around. I've also heard, "it's intimidating." If I intimidate you by just standing somewhere, then you should get the fuck away from me.

I was met with a lot of prejudice, I wasn't allowed to have long hair at the country I come from, and I hated it. I always wanted long hair, and they didn't let me. So this lets out an old fire on me... I was waiting for something like this to happen in the US. If they did something like this to me, there'd be hell to pay.

No. You should cut your hair down, get drunk, and score a few girls, son. Because I say that and everyone else does as well.

Re: Boy Suspended for Long Hair
...
Anyway, are people raging over this because of the strict rules, or because the kid got suspension? His parents agree with him and aren't punishing him, so he gets a vacation.
