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.

My US History teacher...

I have been getting very sick of this woman. (this post is so long, but I'm hoping someone is interested in her trying to kill dreams)And on Friday she just said some things that made me wanna walk right out of her class!(we had like 3 minutes left, although I still wish I had)

First of all, she has given us 2 lectures on trying our hardest, because school is a privilege. We don't wanna go having to make soccer balls like those poor kids from.. Venezuela? I don't even remember because I stopped listening to her.

And then on Friday she called a kid over to her desk near the end of class. She was showing him his grade on our first test
"That;s awful. I don;t like saying it, but it really is awful."
And then she looked at his current grades in all of his classes with him
"F, F, F, and a D. So that shows me that you must be really struggling with at least 3 of your classes. But let's look at your grades from last year...Look at that! You did so well last year! What happened between then and now?"
The poor kid: "I don't know-"(he obviously so didn't care. I liked that!)
Teacher: "Don't tell me I don't know. What happened?"
Kid: "I uh, got lazy I guess..."
Teacher: "You got lazy!"
The way she said it was just so... ARGH! He only said it because he could tell that's what she wanted him to say, and her response just confirmed it.

And then they had a nice discussion about the topics.
Kid: "I don;t even need to know most of this stuff anyways! And as a pro-skateboarder you can make a heck of money without college."
Teacher: "Yeah you can. I'm not saying you can't, but what happens if you break your leg or something, and can't skateboard anymore?"
Kid: half-laughing "That would really suck."
Teacher: very-serious "Really. And if I were an agent or whatever I would want to know that my clients were smart and could do something else. Right?
Kid: "Sure"
Teacher: "You gotta graduate! Okay?"
Kid: "Okay."
So eh starts walking back to his seat. Obviously, that wasn;t a word for word quote. My memory sucks, but it should be pretty close. Also at some point she told him about how she doesn;t want to fail him, and knows he's capable. She one of those "do all the work 'cause it's good for you" kinda teachers.

And also, I nearly followed that kid to his seat to tell him to never listen to her, and skateboard however much he damn well pleased. I probably will on Monday, when she isn't hollering in my ear to SIT DOOOOWN.

And another thing she did that kinda aggravated me was when we went through the constitution, she asked "And who is nature's creator" "uh.. god?" "GOD"

Okay, I've ranted about this mad woman. I feel better! ^.^

My posts are usually lengthy, and I can't help it much... Sorry.

See, you're so "special"! Everyone else is just jealous. They just want to be late all the time, draw stuff instead of even just pretending to pay attention, and doing all other kinds of dumb shit.
