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.

Re: Weird Shit That Happens Thread.

Some black kid knocked on our front door once, he was looking for someone and we told him he had the wrong house. He comes the next day, and the next day, and the day after that, and the next day, and so on for a week. Looking for someone. And every single time we told him he had the wrong house. Yet he kept coming. And then he stopped. Shrug

One time I drove to a store. Right after I got out of my car, I got this really strong feeling that I would see one of my teachers there....for some reason and out of the blue. As I was walking towards the store, there was that same teacher, walking towards it too.

Oh...and I don't believe in ghosts and all that shit, but this scared me a lot. I got up one morning and was getting ready to go to school. I was alone, everyone had left for work/school already. So I'm like "ok cool". Grabbed my bag and walked out the door. I take 5 steps away from the house and I hear something. I turn around to see what it is, and I see the door moving as if someone from the inside was banging on it trying to get out. It went on for like 6 second too which might not sound like a lot, but it was. I was like "what the hell?". It wasn't windy and I'm pretty sure there weren't any windows open in the house. So I really don't know what it was. But it scared the living shit out of me so I BOOKED it.
