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.

Are you sure about the "everyone?"
Dunno, I didn't read all the replies here. I just skimmed through and saw how many people actually wasted their time taking this test. If everyone were as turned off by this as Steve and I, they couldn't bring themselves to finish it.

I was like Steve the first time I looked at this test ages ago. I simply couldn't get through it, because it was like a parody of how shallow growing up can be. Too bad most adults seriously share this test's beliefs. I think that's why I hate it so much. It's not the test itself, it's my imagination seeing all the patronizing grown ups who live by these ideas. I just wanna fight them all...

Okay, I just looked through this test again. I know for sure that if I took the test, it will give a crappy score based on the 'education' questions alone because I don't have any sheets of paper. Lots of the questions are also completely arbitrary, like how there's a random math question in there. I bet lots of the robotic nerds from my old school would score real highly here. To me, this is the "How Shallow, Jaded, and Politically Correct Are You?" test.

Oh God, this one message wasn't there the last time I looked years ago: "NEW! If you know a young person who is depressed, angry, or defiant, he or she might be suffering from Extended Childhood Disorder." Okay, because all of the traits listed are inherently bad, right? The irony is that the adults who buy into this test are likely objectively weaker than I am, both emotionally and physically - I never saw a house puppy beating a wild wolf before.

"Oppressed people might overthrow their tyrants, but not if they can count on one day joining the oppressors."
