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.

I can't believe that they want to kick the poor kid out! Its such an insult to have all these parents gossiping their opinions towards such a young soul.

What. The fuck.
& that was just one of the asinine comments made by an adult.

Re: Yahoo answers fail
Quote:You should let him quit, being 17 and in the 10th grade isnt easy. Just make him get his GED within a few months of him quitting school.After he gets his GED, he can go to community\junior college and then transfer to a university.
This was great advice, but everyone gave it a thumbs down. What a bunch of idiots on that site.
P.S. NO ONE cares about your high school education, at all. It doesn't matter if you just got a GED or you actually graduated. Everyone knows high school is a joke, including employers.

He was an hero. He will always be remembered.

Re: Yahoo answers fail
Even if you "lose faith in humanity", you can still learn from this. Even if humanity is that fucked up, we're still here and there are others with functional brains out there.
At least we now know how ignorant people can get.

My parents charged my sister rent before she bought her own house, well they kept all the money she gave my parents and they gave it back to her when she bought a house.

Re: Yahoo answers fail
I sometimes feel like the people at Yahoo Answers are like this.
Some dude asking a question: I am depressed, my father died at a war, and my mom just got arrested. The only one who can help me is my 20 year old sister. How can I over come this?
Answer: You can't overcome this, but I got better things for you. Eat right, get active, stay in school, get into college, get a good paying job. THE POWER IS YOURS!!!!!!!!

Re: Yahoo answers fail
Quote:tell him that he can quit school only if he wants to quit on himself. let him know that even the dumbest person can make it, but they have to be wanting to make it somewhere in life. although he is almost 18 so after that he can drop out if he wants to. tell him he has to go to school until he's 18.
That's the problem. School doesn't measure or promote intelligence or creativity, it measures and promotes memorization and repetition. Even the dumbest person could do that, which might be why that ladies son hates it, not due to laziness, self centeredness, or delusion.

Thinking for yourself is a foreign concept to the yahoo answers community. These guys just repeat whatever they hear on FOX "news".

Does it really matter? She said that he already left home with no intention of returning. So all the talk about kicking him out or charging him rent is moot

Re: Yahoo answers fail
Fuck. I joined today cause I couldn't stand it anymore. Immediately after writing a reasonable and readable response, it got thumbed down. Oh, that's it. After all the bigoted responses like "let's raise the voting age to forty, and only for property owners too" or "all these kids are dumb, they would vote for Miley Cyrus, hurrrr", I realized just how greedy and hateful people can be. It's like these people have no respect for anyone, cept soldiers and people over 40, course. These people don't realize that it's not fair to deny someone just because people in the same age group are idiots. If that were the case, nobody would be able to vote.
Also, what happened to American ideals, anyhow? I saw a poster who said something like "kids don't pay enough taxes to be represented." What? That's like saying you have to pay a certain amount of money to vote, which is obviously the most uninformed thing I've ever heard. The thing we fought for, way back when, and claim to now, is no taxation without representation. It doesn't matter how much you pay, if the government is going to tax you, you should have a say in how it is run.
I hate these guys.

Re: Yahoo answers fail
I ain't sure if this would consider fail, but the people who advises to look for friends aren't helping much because of the community inside public schools are typically immature or treat other like crap looking for their own desires while there are so few that actually give a fuck about you and trying to observe what people are made of in the average in public school would get you to hate school even more if you have the brains and maturity inside you. There are so few people that actually accept the minority of the society which is another reasons why the friend advise only help a little. As you can see in the link at the bottom, at least I provide information about homeschooling which she should use if she were going to convince her parents while giving her an advice to find an way to actually cope with the time at she is in school and told her that she should drop out developing her deep talent. In this link I shown you, you will observe that there at least one more advise that actually helps a lot more than the other people as well. I also disagree with the idea of changing schools simply because there are too much schools that may have some resemblance to the school she's in and many public school simply have the similar flaws.
Note: My answers is in teh long wall of text
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index ... fxkn4NVpaa
So would the answers in there be considered a fail to you guys?
