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.

Your first day at school (or Hell).

Explain what happened when you first came to school.

I already knew one kid in the class (who I've known for 9 years today), so I sat on the table he was sitting. All the boys were sitting here too and all the girls sat on another table. One kid dared me to eat glue, so I got a glue stick and I faked me licking it. They believed it. I then became friends with the whole class.

But between friendships and labour work I was bullied by one kid who was one year older then me. For 2 years I tried talking to teachers and never fought back at him. I did the bully tactic made by the school "STOP, THINK, ACT". Never worked.

One day, in year 2, he pushed me behind the sports shed. I'm pretty short anyway but he was tall, but a fat tall. He started poking my face, then out of nowhere, I reflexively pushed him into a kneeling position and kneed him in the face. He was unconscious and bleeding bad. I was suspended. But he never came back to my school.

I guess my first few years really succumbed me into my hate of school, but even if I wasn't bullied I still wouldn't give into the school systems bullshit.

No idea... it was at least 10 years ago, how the hell am I supposed to remember that?

I forgot. The only part I remember is that I was disappointed that I didn't go to Hawaii for a party, or something like that.

Re: Your first day at school (or Hell).

Erm, this one girl I knew named Samantha - she was in the "popular crowd" all throughout the next 8 years - well, she was crying because she didn't want to be there and was begging her father to let her go back home because she hated all of the "icky people."
I remember that my mum made me wear a dress, which wasn't fun at all. Noo 'least it wasn't pink or frilly, though.
My teacher was overweight and lazy and always yelled at us because she was horrible with small children.
There were two cockroaches in the room....everyone was freaking out about that.
I can't, and don't much want to, remember anything else from that day.

Re: Your first day at school (or Hell).

Fussy memory of 1st day.

I remember standing in lines getting ready to go to class, and then I was the last one outside. The teacher and my mum were trying to make me go inside.

Then I remember some girl doing weird hand gestures to me, kind of like sign language. Can't remember anything else.

Re: Your first day at school (or Hell).

I don't remember much except that it was during the summer (Like a camp thing) before kindergarten. It was at this private school place with a pool.

Some girl was singing a song about applesauce and this one kid pretended to be a shark. I have no clue why I remember that...

Re: Your first day at school (or Hell).

First thing you want to know, from my point of view is schools are not hell. But abut my first day, i had never been away from home. We drove up, and my mother walked me in. She talked to me and told me she would be back and I started crying.

Re: Your first day at school (or Hell).

I can't remember my first day of school ever, but I can remember my first day at my current school from grade 5.

I was all dressed up in pigtails and a skirt and I sat with the loner kids and after a little while my Kennydra dragged me into the group of which I stayed. I already knew two guys in my class beforehand because my brother was in scouts.

Re: Your first day at school (or Hell).

I don't remember, but I'm pretty sure the entire class avoided me. I'm serious. "Hi! My name's Amber"

"RUN AWAY!"

Jesus, even then I wasn't pretty enough. But, I was uber pro school up until middle school and the dress code. Honestly, if it weren't for that, I'd probably still be pro school.

Re: Your first day at school (or Hell).

Kindergarten wasn't any different than daycare. So I should try to remember my first day of daycare? I was 1.
First day of Kindergarten I was like @_@ because I didn't speak the language.
