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.

More pure ignorance!!! So much of it!
Someone asked for tips on skiving school on yahoo answers. It made me so mad to see that about 80% of the responses were ignorant and brainwashed people lecturing on the importance of schooling...

Quote:No.
Skive School, sit in park smoking fags, fail exams, sign on the dole. Struggle to buy food and heating and live a miserable life on a dirty run down council estate with all the other losers as you are a failure and couldn`t be botherd.
Or
Go to school. Learn. Get good grades. Go to university. Get a good well paid job, Buy a Big house, drive a Porche and own a yacht and be happy due to your success.
I suppose its your own choice but I know what I would be doing tommorrow.
AAGGGGGGHHHHH!!! If I could meet that last person, oh there would be trouble my friends! Although, in a way I feel more sorry for them than angry. This person who thinks money=happy is misinformed and will waste their life striving for riches and will end up unsatisfied. It is practically inevitable. What a shame.

this pisses me of most people who do that dont get any yacht or porche. what a dumb fuck. college grades are mostly middle class
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.

I hope I'm not the only one who read this as, "make a lot of money and be happy because happiness is proportional to money."

Re: More pure ignorance!!! So much of it!
On a more serious note she is brainwashed trying to brainwash others...  She has this perception that no money = miserable. Money = Happy. She sound like one of those : Money buys happiness people.

Re: More pure ignorance!!! So much of it!
The school system only exists to stimulate the economy. You go to school in hopes of getting good grades. You get good grades in hopes of getting into a good college. You get into a good college in hopes of getting a good job. You get a good job in hopes of making lots of money. And where does that money go? Some goes to the government, and the rest eventually goes into stimulating the economy.

To this, I say:
Happiness>Money.

Western society at it's worst here people. Oh wait, this is in England. Who cares anyhow?
Anyway, there is only one way to convert all these brainwashed fools, and that is to bomb the UK into the sea.

Bull Crap. Money=Happiness. NO. THAT IS NOT IN ANY SENSE TRUE. Happiness is about doing what you like and living your life. Happiness>The System

Yeah, and I have some other friends there too. Don't even think about it.
