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.

classclown's life story

everyone else is making one so why not.

i was born may 3rd 1992. i don’t remember much from when i was real little. i can't even remember my baby sitter. Anyways since i was a little kid i was always running around and knocking into things. This usually got something to fall down and break. This happened most with the VCR. Every time it happened (a total of 3 or 4 times i think) i got spanked and sent to my room for the rest of the night. Then there was kindergarten, i only had one friend for all if it. He and i were out casts for the most part. Unlike most kids that hate school i started hating it then. Mostly because there was a teacher assistant that would never leave me alone.

i got switched out of that school and got moved into a catholic school. 1st through about 3rd i was a pretty big loner. i just hanged out with who ever would talk to me. i remember id come home and just watch dbz. 4th grade i started making friends. we usually just talked about the military. i don’t know why really it was just what we talked about. 5th grade i was actually kind of popular. i hanged out with the cool kids and people actually wanted to hang out with me. it was pretty different kind of feeling from being by your self. then i moved to another city about a month into 6th grade.

at home during this time was rough to say the least. my dad wasn't shy about smacking me or anything. he broke a spatula on me that i remember rather well. he was mad that it broke. i remember when he grabbed me by my throat ounce and slammed me into a door. Nether of use remember why this happened. he pushed me into a table ounce when i was just walking out of my room. later he complemented how a fell (i was in judo at the time and they teach you to fall a certain way). another time he spanked me and my bro for whatever reason. we had guests at our house, he made me and him show them our bare ass so they could she the marks. i was also in sports during it but i quite most cause the kids didn’t get along with me. well except for judo and football (i was forced to quite judo don’t remember why). one thing my dad admits is that i use to cower when he said my name or if he even talked to me.

ok i back to where i was. i moved and all that brand new school. it was literally only like 5 years old, you gota love suburbia. but 6th grade was the worst year ever in school. i sat by my self for lunch most of the time. i use to go for first block then go home sick cause i couldn’t take it. this was the year i got in fight a lot 5 or 6 in total. but those aren’t counting the ones that it was me verse the class. getting a desk rammed into you hurts by the way. i don’t think i passed a single class that year. 7th grade i was better off. i literally think i had some of the best teachers over that year, i know i did in math. i made a friend when i went to a lock in at the school. he was nice to me till i started hanging with him and his friends. one of his friends hated me with the passion. he told other kids to be rude to me cause he said so. but all in all 7th grade was way better then 6th so i was happy. 8th grade i was going on the popularity scale again. i was like in between. most remember able thing i did in 8th grade was break a fish tank and flooded the class room.

then i went to high school. freshman year was shitty, i had lots of shitty teacher. one really good one though. but i got kicked out of the group i was hanging with forcible. then me and this one kid didn’t really get close but we are on good terms and still are. so we hanged out, then i got introduced to his friend me and him both had the i hate school mind set. so we hit it off but he left freshman year and went to a different school. there was this girl who was really into me at the time too. i’ve been kicking myself repeatedly over it. sophmore year was better. but yet again all the kids i made friends with don’t go there anymore. one left by choice. other got expelled for dealing. my school really started hating me. they kept trying to kick me out. i kept setting records for getting in trouble. i think every year i get the most referrals. i know freshman year i got the most referrals ever in the schools history. one last thing i wanna add was how willing this girl (that rode my bus) to tell me stuff. she told me a guy just on the bus how her bro like molested her and how she shut down and ran away. i just found it weird she told me i barely knew her.

during that year my mom was having health issues. she had like 4 heart surgeries and a couple other things done to her. the problem was i really didn’t feel any thing. i didn’t care, so i was on a guilt trip feeling bad. also that was the year my catholic class teacher (catholic class= sunday school) pissed me off. she was anti everything if you weren’t catholic you were going to hell. until then i pretty much just live and let live with catholics but now. if they even get on my nerves go straight for the heart of what they beliefs. oh and over the summer my dad dipped into his old habits and beat me. only ounce though but yea, he grabbed me by hair through me into a couch and wailed on my head. all because i want in bed.

anyways that everything except for this year and i don’t really feel like reflecting on it yet. but there’s a few things i left out that im gonna add now. one of the thing i feel like i should add is kinda why i have " all girls are heartless bitches" in my sig. so here it goes i have been into 3 girls really bad before. but they screwed me over and i dont like talking about

that’s it......

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.

Well, he needs speech threapy then.

About the all girls are heartless bitches thng, they arent. Hikari isn't. Ch4rl0tt3 isn't. I dont know if i am or not, i'll leave you to your verdict on that. But we arent. Seriously, you just pick the wrong ones.
