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.

sio Wrote:"Dr. Phil is clearly not good at his job....You NEVER correct a parent in front of his or her child. It allows the child to believe that his/her actions are tolerable and that the child has some type of authority. This is made evident by the boy's statement "my mom needs to change more than I do".

Another one:

"These kids today (or most of them anyway) need to be thrown into Nazi style prison camps for a few months! As for the parents, they go into seperate prison camps (Russian style) Maybe the "experience" will change them for life".

Re: Moar Rage.

I couldn't keep reading the comments. It disgusts me to read that 95% of the people think that the kid deserves to be beaten. "The kid should know his place"? Fuck. That. This is why I keep losing faith in humanity.

The reason this angers me so much is almost a carbon copy of my relationship with my mom. Cept I never hit her or stood up for myself. We do have a better understanding of each other now. And that's what people need. Understanding. But these ignorant fucks thinks everything is solved by discipline or beatings.

Makes me sick.

Re: Moar Rage.

Beating up kids isn't going to make them like the country nor sending them to be an survivor of the boot camp is going to make them earn a lesson, it's just going make them have an traumatizing experience that make them to experience negative feelings for the rest of the life. I had this problem since I was a youth while being hurt back at middle school for the sake of rebelling against parents due to the fact that I'm having an miserable time at school. Parents are the faults of this situation and the government are the whole source of the problem that is seen in here. Oh, don't we wish that there is an specifically made camp that would eliminate these kind of people who thinks traumatizing experience may teach them a lesson? I already lost complete faith in humanity and the only way to make me gain faith in humanity is someone to risk his whole life to end the boot camp situation.

ZZZ...

Re: Moar Rage.

That's a painful video for me to watch because I have the exact same problem when I try to communicate with my parents.
They sort of shut me out, and aren't even eager to hear what I have to say, no matter how much of their talk I force myself to sit through.
I try to shut up and not yell, ignore their immaturity, and put my point across clearly,but as soon as I open my mouth, they think I'm being 'disrespectful' and that I'm 'complicating things' or 'taking things too far.'
I really don't know how to fix this misunderstanding, and neither do the mom and kid in the video. It's a tough situation.

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.

Re: Moar Rage.

Are you serious? People blame the kid for snapping?

Re: Moar Rage.

Well, humanity loses moar points. I mean realy, who the hell would make comments like "that kid deserves to be sent to prison, you never disrespect adults" and then vote down comments like "Good for him. Freedom of speech should apply to all people".

Noo Grindteeth
