Junior year is a bitch

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.

Junior year is a bitch

I don't mind the teachers, the uniform, my entirely out-of-the-way locker placement, the insane distance from classroom to classroom, or how incredibly large all of my books are. But what I do mind is the fucking work load, the very first week of school I got more homework in one day than i got in a week during sophomore year, and I do not know why. The stress is another thing, i have 6 tests tomorrow. 6. Out of 7 subjects, of course i'm not studying for any of them, that's ridiculous.

The teachers are quite nice, but i don't understand the mindset of asking the homework god to shit all over us, junior year isn't hard or challenging. All it is is a bunch of work, meaningless assignments, and my english teacher just loves giving us 3 assignments to do in one night and a test along with that. I might have to remind her that there are 6 other subjects that also shovel it on to us like that, and homework doesn't even help us.

Oh and last but definitely not least, there is supposedly this english research paper that will take us 5 months to complete, along with other projects in other subjects.

Fuck junior year, fuck it with the biggest flaming dildo you can find, because i'm sick of it already.

and in other news the secretary of edumacation is making himself look like a retard with his brainwashing, douchey speeches, fuck him too.
