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.

Post all the pro-school links you can and comment on them! http://www.rd.com/advice/parenting/when-...tes-school  
Congratulations humanity,because you refuse to let go of the old and evolve you actually make people believe in 2012. Not only that, but you're the only species on Earth that were able to make it possible, now we get to sit until we die because we couldn't get to Mars. We have failed as a society and don't deserve our gifts to survive for this long. Maybe this is why dinosaurs are extinct, we sure aren't any better than the dirt you say we're created from. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pla...DvwSOFto#!

http://www.educationrevolution.org/blog/...thing-new/ Don't be fooled for a second. They trick you quick and then you start raging again. I do some of these, and these people talk it as a bad thing.

My final one, http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424...45302.html Don't even ask why it's so long but it's the worst one of all.

These people are insane.
"Well-meaning parents can make things worse, psychologists say, by allowing an anxious child to miss school, attending school with them as, for example, a classroom volunteer—or home-schooling. Such accommodations send the message that school is too scary for the child to handle alone and the fear is justified. "Overprotective parents rush in way too quickly to shield them from any experience that creates distress," says Karen Cassiday, a clinical psychologist and the owner of the Anxiety and Agoraphobia Treatment Center in Chicago, Ill." - cut from Wall Street Journal article

It was one of the more personal stuff for me because some of that stuff I did and that got my computer taken for 4 days. NO ONE TOUCHES MY TECHNOLOGY!

I'm laughing so hard on the inside! These are just amazing! I'll be using these in our soon-to-exist annual wine tasting festival for years! Seriously, anxiety disorders? On what planet were these made up on? You can't just label a child and sort problems that quickly! We have a little thing these researchers are missing: they're called brains! We think with them and use them for stuff!
