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.

What do you want to do in the future?
As cliche as the question is, what do you want to do with your lives in the next five years?
If you're reading this, I killed myself.

Get the hell out of America.
Go to work. Send your kids to school. Follow fashion. Act normal. Walk on the pavement. Watch TV. Save for your old age. Obey the law. Repeat after me: "I am free."

RE: What do you want to do in the future?
Well, I would plan to become a doctor (only reason I will go to college), move to another country that doesn't have strict schooling laws ( If I have children), make a clinic, make money, and enjoy my life, I suppose.

RE: What do you want to do in the future?
Too unpredictable. Hopefully be working on my masters/doctorates. Hopefully have already been to Albanian (next summer *crosses fingers*) and other various places outside this god forsaken country. Get better with the guitar and cifteli and probably already start playing the violin. In the end as long as I am chilling and having a good time I don't care.

RE: What do you want to do in the future?
I don't know, whatever I want to do at the moment, and I know I'll do that, because how do you do something unless you want to do it, I mean overall? You don't.
What I want to do now is, I want to grow up and become a lawyer if I can and, I don't know, go live somewhere, like Arizona, or here, or Florida, or Oklahoma, or Montana, or South Dakota, or Nebraska, or Nevada. It doesn't matter all that much, just having my own house and all. And get a guy out of jail at least one time. And then die. That would be fine too. I'm sure just about any new experience would do, forget the names, dates, details.
Unschool: Do it. I play the violin and it's nice. The strings don't hurt your fingers one bit like guitar and it's nice to only have four, plus it's very easy to play fast on the violin. The only thing to get around is your bow hand but then it's fine, I mean if you play the guitar already and don't have weak hands. It's my favorite stringed instrument, so do it.

Tumblrinas suck dick-kin
There's no patriarchy, there's also no feminist conspiracy to destroy the rightz of meinz. You're not special if you're a feminist, and you're not special if you are an anti-feminist. Women aren't oppressed, neither are men. Both groups have advantages over each other.

RE: What do you want to do in the future?
GTFO of high school, for one. In the next two years, get my associates in political science and get all of my gen ed out of the way for college. Then I'll go on and get my bachelors in both political science and philosophy. From there, if I make it this far, I'll probably become a political analyst, continue on with philosophy and become a professor and do research work, or get a degree in computers. (If I don't end up getting board of politics and switching to computer science at some point.) Maybe I'll end up working for a non-profit like NYRA, or the EFO will develop into something professional that I"ll be able to use my political science degree on.
We shall see. For now, I'm focusing on graduating high school in th next 4 weeks. I'm dangerously close to failing, and the last 14+ years of my life are riding on the success of just few weeks ahead. The school system is dangerously stupid, is it not? Even if I got all A's for the last 14 years, if I fail this ONE CLASS, I can't graduate. Fucking bullshit.
Good luck to all of you, and hopefully everything works out for our crazy asses.

RE: What do you want to do in the future?
Within just over a year I'll have finished college and want to go onto university. My two closest friends and my girlfriend are all interested in moving out about 40 miles to the nearest city and doing uni/work there living in a flat share. Hopefully by then we can all pool money together for a car as well. That's all I'm interested in for the future at the moment, staying with friends and not living at home.

No I can't save up the money for it. That's part of the reason why I'm going back to school. If I graduate I can transfer to University of Hawai'i.

God that baby would be the biggest dick/cunt the world would ever seen.
As far as myself I am looking forward to moving to some where warm Miami or Hawaii if aya really wants to (I would like to meet dog the bounty and his wife boobs I mean heather).
I would be done with my associates degree and working on a master by then school-wise.
