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: teacher fired for THIS?!?!
perhaps because it has been blown out of proportion, and that this particular event has been so dramatized, people have just become very ignorant.
We hope she does not get fired.

Re: teacher fired for THIS?!?!
Well god, let's fire a teacher for doing a dance that we have younger girls in skimpier clothing do all the time at pep rallies and football games and shit. Of course, when a teacher does it, it's totally inappropriate, but when sixteen year old girls do it, it's totally HAWT acceptable and in the name of school spirit blah blah blah.
PLEASE, TELL US JUSTIN

Poor girl. I'd lul if we got a new member that said they quit teaching because some asshole didn't approve of her dancing.
that be pretty amazing
life is just blah blah blah. we hope for blah, and sometimes we find it. but mostly its blah. and waiting for blah. and hoping you were right about the blahs you made. and when you think you just got the whole blah damn thing figured out, and your surrounded by the ones you blah. death shows up and blah blah blah.

Re: teacher fired for THIS?!?!
If she's fired by the school, then why would she gets fired for dancing in more appropriate clothing when the media is displaying girls in skimpy clothes all the time and besides that cheerleading isn't as slutty as I seen back at my high school and other high school where they actually display sexual acts. This teacher seem to be better than the teacher who puts on some discipline which is part of the reason school is going ruined.
ZZZ...

Re: teacher fired for THIS?!?!
Carfan's right, about one aspect of it though.
I love how the news media snaps up this story immiediatly, as though this is an atrocity in the world we live in, yet continualy portray stuff that's one thin layer of cloth away from being pornogrophy, and call that alright.
I don't know what to say about the teacher. Not sure that what she did was wholly appropriete, but the media should not be the people to condemn and start making judgements on her.
