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.

High school

Idk if this was posted anywhere but let's talk about how do we spend our high school days.
For example:
1)if it sucked;
2)if you liked it;
3)if you really didn't give a shit about it and let it pass.

Ok,i'll start.
First i sleep in class,after that i'm phoning my friends that aren't in same high school....and then i sleep 6 more hours,and so back home.
I think highschool is a waste of time,i'm getting the double exams than in elementary school + new stupid classmates that i can be aware of.
Let's not forget about teachers that are more grumpy and hell knows when they'll give you a bad grade and not even knowing it.
Sorry,i just feel like bitching about this T_T.

Re: Highschool

I fucking hate high school.

"A 'no' uttered from deepest conviction is better and greater than a 'yes' merely uttered to please, or what is worse, to avoid trouble." - Mahatma Gandhi

"The irrationality of a thing is no argument against its existence, rather a condition of it."

"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."
-Ben Franklin

"when I was a kid I used to pray for a bicycle. then I realized that god doesn't work that way. so I stole one and prayed for forgiveness."
"I would rather die for something I believe in than live for anything else."
"What is the task of higher education? To make a man into a machine. What are the means employed? He is taught how to suffer being bored." – F W Nietzsche

Re: High school

Well, it's a hell of a lot better than middle school to be honest. I have a lot more cool teachers and overall it's more lax on the rules.

Who am I? Who are YOU?

Re: High school

I draw. I bring markers and everything. Some of them actually turn out pretty nice. And I've only had about 2 or 3 snatched from me and thrown away by a teacher so far. Biggrin

Re: High school

It sucks, all I mainly do is listen for a bit get the work done in like 10 - 20 minutes then just talk or stare out of the window or Bbc Sport.

Homework wise I only do it for a few teachers - the teachers that treat me like an idiot can shove it. But the teachers that are alright and can have a bit of banter with I'll do it no problems.

I used to be "The circus" as I forgot my login, but then hey-ho I remembered it.

Re: High school

Last Friday (and all last week) I didn't really give a shit about it and just showed up and sat there staring at a wall. I'm going to start bringing books or something else to do to hold me over 7+ hours.
