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.

Okay, so I have this problem you see. I have HUGE crushes on 5 of my teachers. I don't mean little 'teachers pet' crushes, I mean full blown 'I can't stop thinking about them' crushes. It's nothing sexual though. I don't know why I do, I just know I do. I think one resone might be because I have no idea who my dad is, and so I feel atracted to them as a father figure, because it's always my male teachers.
Does anybody know why I might think of them that way, or I can just talk to?

Codependence is a complex, multi-faceted, and multi-dimensional defence against the codependent's fears and needs. There are four categories of codependence, stemming from their respective aetiologies:
(i) Codependence that aims to fend of anxieties related to abandonment. These codependents are clingy, smothering, prone to panic, are plagued with ideas of reference, and display self-negating submissiveness. Their main concern is to prevent their victims (friends, spouses, family members) from deserting them or from attaining true autonomy and independence.
(ii) Codependence that is geared to cope with the codependent's fear of losing control. By feigning helplessness and neediness such codependents coerce their environment into ceaselessly catering to their needs, wishes, and requirements. These codependents are "drama queens" and their life is a kaleidoscope of instability and chaos. They refuse to grow up and force their nearest and dearest to treat them as emotional and/or physical invalids. They deploy their self-imputed deficiencies and disabilities as weapons.
Both these types of codependents use emotional blackmail and, when necessary, threats to secure the presence and blind compliance of their "suppliers".
(iii) Vicarious codependents live through others. They "sacrifice" themselves in order to glory in the accomplishments of their chosen targets. They subsist on reflected light, on second-hand applause, and on derivative achievements. They have no personal history, having suspended their wishes, preferences, and dreams in favour of another's.
There's a lot of reasons for a girl to be attracted to their teacher. They are authority figures, often times intelligent, and they are also often dominant. All three of those woman are naturally attracted to by nature.
John Tuttle: I'm not seeing a doctor because I haven't even told my mom yet. Plus, they would look at me like I'm crazy and take them away from me.
Vatman: What is DPD? And I think I most likely have the Codependent iii.
55555: That may be a reson, but I don't think so.
Anybody who said something about Stockholm Syndrom: I don't see them as my captors. Instead, I think of them as my savors.

TRIGGER WARNING: THIS TRIGGER WARNING CONTAINS TRIGGER WARNINGS!
Dear Tumblrites:Despite your wrongly self-diagnosedPTSD, no line ofscientific evidencesuggests people can be triggered over theinternet. Triggering works through thesenses(i.e. smell, taste, touch, vision, hearing.) but it goes throughreal time; if you're not experiencing it in real life as it'sACTUALLY HAPPENINGin yourACTUALlife, youCANNOTbe triggered. The only exception to this is if you have aseizure, but then again, that's triggered byepilepsy(i.e. rapidly-changing flashing lights)NOT PTSD. Remembering a bad incident is NOT the same thing as having aflashback. When you remember, youthink; when youflashback,youfeel.

Don't worry hidden fire, Ive decided you don't have it. In fact I am sure you are just trying to find yourself. If you had all three symptoms I may recommend a psychologist in your area. But I doubt that is the case. I give you a prescription to your local library. Read 1 book a week for 100 weeks and you will be cured. That is all.

I think if it's a "father figure" thing then it's more of a "personal"/"relationship" type of problem, not a "mental" type of problem. It should go away eventually, until then you're kinda screwed, I guess...

It figures that the resident chauvinist douchebag would agree.

I don't have much time, so I'll just say the one that stuck out the most.
Vatman: I already read like that. 1 book a wee would be too easy.

Make up your mind, Vatman! Reading a book a week for 100 weeks is reading a lot.
And Liquid, I think it's a father thing too.

I don't think it's a father thing somehow - I think rebel might be closest, tbh.

You just said it would be to easy... Easy is good, easy is what I am looking for: while reading a large number of books. The balance between relaxation and thoughtfulness is what I prescribe.
random_name: Now that I think about it, I think it might be a combination of the two.

OMG!!! I went to give one of my teachers a report on biokinesis that I didn't even need to do, and as I turned to walk away from him, he said he loved me! I think he ment it in a "You're awsome" way, but still!
