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.

Okay. If you have a shot, you should take it. Perhaps you should indeed drop out.

How 'bout homeschooling or unschooling? Would your parents be supportive of alternatives?

Drop out, there is no point in life so you might as well live the rest of your youth to the fullest while you still can.
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#!

Life has no point, all life just created it's own point but there is no true point for life own all of the planets in general except maybe plants if all planets with life have plants.

Life has a point, but it isn't a set point. You create your own destiny.
Your fate can change dramatically if you make certain choices. Choose to drop out, if you want, or you can choose to continue your sentence in pri....er, school.

Yes but as long as the universe doesn't care what so ever about one person on one planet out of the trillions does there isn't an exact point really. The universe just doesn't care. It's like the law of gravity, if you don't like it science doesn't care.

"I just want to drop out"
who the fuck doesn't. if you don't think you need the diploma and shit then do it if you have the guts.
"God cares. Not that you care He cares."
if god cared he wouldn't have created homework. god hates all of us, especially Africans. he is a jealous, angry god.
"Life has no point..."
humans like everything else in the universe, is just part of the process, there is no "higher meaning", and it's pure arrogance to think otherwise.

I dont think god cares, either that of he is busy watching tv or whatever he does, or he is fake. Nobody has any clue, I am not saying he is real or not, i am nuetral. But assumeing he is real, he is either too busy doing somethingelse to notice how bad the world is, or he doesnt give half a rats ass. I mean, I was stuck born to the bitch, who is obviously a bad person (you read my threads, you know) and she didnt get jailed till I was 14. 14 years, my whole childhood and some of my teen years, thats a long time to be with the bitch (my mom). She often tied me up, me swearing, crying, kicking and biteing the whole time and would shove my head in a sink of water. She would hold me there for a few minutes, untill her arms got tired. She also chucked me out a window when I was young. And tied me up and broke my ankle and ruptured my achilles. And my buildi burned and she escaped jaik and was after me with a gun. Take that as an example. Since he let that happen to me(assumein he is real), god doesnt give a shit about earth. He also made homework, rape, abuse, ect possible. I mean, the bitch raped a murderer in a jail cell, and once I saw her with 7 guys and she lined then up and raped them all! Rape is an issue, and he lets that happen! He doesnt give a shit about us!

RE: I just want to drop out
JollyC. Don't get trapped in a bad job. It's a lot worse than school. Infinitely more depressing. Trust me. It might seem ok at first but over the years it is soul crushing in ways that's hard to imagine at your stage in life. You can never afford a vacation, your health deteriorates, your mental health and self-esteem is devastated, you can't even afford decent food. You can't travel. Life becomes a prison. And it can easily last your entire life.
If you want to be a different fish, you've got to jump out of the school.

RE: I just want to drop out
Meh, if he is already in a bad place in life, hes got nothing to loose. I will drop out as soon as I can, I got nothing to loose. I live in a homeless shelter in highland park detroit, and find my foodin the dump. If he is in a similar situation, I reccommend dropping out.

RE: I just want to drop out
I have no plans to drop out. Simply becuase I don't know yet what I want to do with my life. So I'm trying to keep myself open.
And most of the professions and careers i have in mind that I'd enjoy actually kind of require a phd...
I'm a girl ffffeck
