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.

Sent to the hospital

This happened last year around October,but i just now decided to write about it.


Around this time i finally decided to go against school and live my life.Apparently since free will isn't accepted in society,i guess,i was sent here http://www.parkridgevalley.com/CustomPag...1A2324E920.

When i got there i thought it was just gonna be another fucking counselor,but i was wrong.We go in the waiting room and go through a door to a hallway to chicks office.She was asking the usual things.She was being an asshole so i decided ill be an asshole too.Have you ever attempted suicide,"Well i drunk a 2 liter of soda and ate some pop rocks does that count as a suicide attempt."She then went to do whatever and came back and said,"Okay we are going to take Cole in and help him."I was all wtf,damn,shit,etc.I tried to escape but the doors locked automatically,so i was at the complete will of the system.




They walked me through some living quarters for adults,cafeteria,hallway,elevator.
When i got to the top floor i was in the "adolescent" living and counsiling quarters.First thing i saw was some kid crying on a couch.It was terrible.Walls just plain white,2 beds to a room,these counceling rooms and such.I was told to wait for my group and so i did.We went in a room and they just talked.
In this process im thinking,trying to hold back tears.When all that was over at about nine lights out.
That was a very long night,but somehow i got to sleep.When i they woke me up they gave me stuff to pee in took my blood etc.Then went to bathroom, came to room and changed but apparently thats against the rules so i go to the bathroom to change.When i did that i go to guy to ask wtf now.He being him asshat.Hes being aggressive because i dont know what to do.I go to room wait,breakfast.




I also got yelled at here because i walked to the table the wrong way or some stupid shit.I was sitting with some people i didnt know yet.Not much conversation.Go to room,we discuss why we're here.To my surprise people here were here because they were depresses and almost everyone mentioned school,but all they said was,"School=money=happy."Then they gave me some stupid ass notbook to write and do assignments and stuff.But they didnt have anything for me for some reason and i just sat there from then til meals and bed,so basically from 7am-9am i just stared at the wall.


How was this supposed to help it made everything worse it made me want to kill myself.It was terrible i couldn't stand it.

Anyways just thought i would write about this to share my experience,and if you want me too i can tell you more about things that happened and what the place was like.

That happened to my friend. Her description of it was something similar to yours. It makes me sick. Look at the site with all the pictures of happy people, all lies.

Thing is the only time you saw someone not acting happy and have a real smile is when they got to leave.

Did you try to escape? Its what I would have done and If at first I didn't succeed I would turn the place upside down.

Sorry you went there man...

Re: Sent to the hospital

You couldnt escape unless you had the keys because the doors lock automatically.
There was nothing to break either.You could throw your matress across the room but that wouldnt do anything.They had everything locked up in their desks.

Re: Sent to the hospital

That sounds horrible... I would have thrown a lot of verbal and probably physical abuse at the people there (not the "inmates").

Re: Sent to the hospital

How the hell can places like this exist!?!
If a person is a violent psychotic person, it makes sense to have them taken care of, but taking someone against their will just because they're a little depressed or have unconventional views...
And you don't have to treat people with mental differences like shit, either!

Jesus...
Would they try to physically move you if you didn't go where they told you?
Dang, if you ever get sent there again, the moment they refuse to let you go, just sit on the floor, don't say anything, don't do anything, just be completely silent, like some meditating person, and stay that way. Frustrate them and don't give them any control or anything to punish you for. Don't go where they tell you, don't do what they ask.
They shouldn't have ANY control over your life.

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.
