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.

"Have fun working at McDonald's for the rest of your life"
It really pisses me off whenever I hear this about a person who dislikes school. But what really got me today is when I heard a teacher say about a student. We were in global and my teacher noticed some writing on a desk. It said fuck school. Sure the student shouldn't have wrote on the desk (According to the school at least) and then the teacher said to my other teacher "Haha this kid will have fun working at McDonald's for the rest of his life" You do not know that kid. Maybe he/she even has terrific grades and still just hates school? and sure, maybe not. Just because the person hates school does not mean he is going to end up a bum or someone with a bad job. Just look at Bill Gates, Albert Einstein, Walt Disney. All dropped out of high school to pursue their dreams. Yes its not likely you will end up like them but I know many fine people with great jobs who did not finish high school. I'm just sick or being called stupid or other people being called stupid because of this damn stereotype.

Yeah. That one actually caused me to write this. I saw that and remembered what happened today.

"Have fun working at McDonald's for the rest of your life"
Possibly one day many years in the future:"Hey, you said I'd be working here because I wrote Fuck School. By the way, I'm currently CEO of McDonalds, and you're fucking fired. Have fun not having a job because we don't hire haters."-The student to the ex-teacher.
People may want to be careful with their assumptions...

Heck, I wouldn't even mind being manager of any given McDonald's restaurant. I'd reserve the right to deny service to people who'd claim I'd be working there.

Do you know how much a McDonald franchise costs? They want a minimum of $750,000 that ISNT borrowed and from your own personal account. They also take a deposit and a bunch of other stuff.
Forget working at McDonalds, just owning one will probably make you rich.

Not liking school != performing badly on it. Lots of people seem to make that mistake. And the "working on McDonald's forever" thing is just stupidly cliche.

I should become Valedictorian then in my speech say "FUCK SCHOOL!".
Let's see what the school says then(other than possibly suspending me, which in my mind means mandatory vacation)

RE: "Have fun working at McDonald's for the rest of your life"
My dad likes to say this to me because I've pretty much dropped out.
He brags about graduating highschool early. But I can't even remember the last time he had a real job. His last real job, he was a fucking janitor! He's such a hypocrite..

Pisses me off. McDonalds isn't the only low skilled, minimum wage job out there.

Yeah I shouldn't have directed it just at mcds. It is what the teacher said but my dad is a custodian for a school and supports our 4 person family just fine. Im not saying go and shoot to be a janitor but even some of the lower end jobs are enough.

Enough for a 4 person family? A school janitor is one of the "low-end" jobs with better benefits. I doubt a legit McDonalds job could support that without government assistance.

The chance of that happening? Slim to none. It's much easier to just, you know, graduate high school. At least then odds are that your lifetime earning potential will be higher.
