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.

Got detention just for laughing
I was in Science class a few years back and this guy said something to me that really made me laugh and the teacher looks up from his desk and says ''Right you've now got detention for laughing during my lesson''. I never went to that dentention because i thought it was just plain stupid but it sickens me how some teachers want to punish students just for laughing

Re: Got detention just for laughing
Sorry to say, but that's a given. They try to suck all the fun out of life, laughter is a one way ticket to detention

Re: Got detention just for laughing

Re: Got detention just for laughing
kk, today, same sort of thing happened. Supply teacher, older indian woman Someone laughs, she yells at themfor ie ridiculousness of it makes other people laugh. Then, she yells at them. You may think "so what?" but the reason im mentioning it is she decided to play the race card. "oh, you're all laughing at me ecase im indian" and called the office on us. That, and she refused point blank to let me use my laptop (NOTE: I have a motor skills disability, and i have to use a laptop to do my work, otherwise it's entirely illegible. I don't mean preschooler illegible, i mean new york doctor illedible  )

Re: Got detention just for laughing
One reason for that. One plain, simple, perfect reason. They had to go to school.

LOL one time we had an African-American sub and she asked my friend to take the attendance sheet down to the office. He replied "Yes'm", intending no harm and she went into a rage on how she had just been extremely disrespected. I believe I was one of the only few that actually knew the significance behind that word, everyone else stared blankly at her.

Re: Got detention just for laughing
It's infuriating. they're making people think "there goes the crazy indian lady", or there goes the crazy black lady", instead of "there goes the crazy lady"

Re: Got detention just for laughing
I was sent out in the hall for laughing at a poo joke. Maybe I deserved it, the joke was in bad taste:
My LA class was making a movie, the teacher was recording a test line, and his iMovie program juuuuuuuuuuuuuuust then decided to skip and make a part sound like he said "wow, this is a huge shit". Everybody laughed, but for some reason (maybe because i hadn't laughed in quite a while up until then), I laughed the loudest. Seriously, I couldn't control myself. I was sent out for reasons that were unclear to me. I stayed out for the rest of class, 'cuz I was thinking that he didn't need me. I still laugh whenever I think of it today, though.

Re: Got detention just for laughing
When I was in 4th grade they made me sit out recess for laughing during class.
Who am I? Who are YOU?

Re: Got detention just for laughing
I got detention for pointing at a teacher's shoes (they're against OUR dress code but teachers can wear what they like) and my friend giggled but I got the detention.
Fuck McCain
