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.

My phone's going to be taken away.
First, it was my computer, now it's my phone. I don't have much time to type this, since my parents went on a walk. I now have another literature project and a chemistry project. Just great.
My mom is still mad at me for not doing that Crucible project earlier. I turned it in late, and I got a 53 on it, raising my literature grade to a 83. I have a Spanish test tomorrow too, with my extremely annoying, and gullible as fuck, Spanish teacher.
I still don't have my computer back and I have no clue about it's location. Oh, well. I'll probably see it again in a few months when school ends for the year.
My mom also said this to my sister and me a few minutes ago: "I hate to sound like a slavedriver, but y'all gotta work on your projects." My mom really pissed me off when she said that. It also seemed to have the same effect for my sister. Haha.
I haven't been feeling the best lately. I don't know how to explain it, though. My head feels like that it's clouded up all the time, and I feel like I can't think straight, either. It's wierd. I also haven't been drawing that much as of late. I'll get more to these things later.
Anyways, I still got some good news. I earned 20 dollars helping my dad and my half-brother (who is about 32-33 years old) to put up a fence for my grandma.
So, yeah. I don't feel like explaining anything else right now. When my parents get back from their walk, they'll probably take my phone away, cutting me from any access to the forums here. (Or browsing the internet privately in my bedroom.) *sigh*
See ya later.

I can't do anything more than wish you the best of luck. Try to turn in more assignments on time. It may hurt, but it's the only way.

For anyone who remembers me going on an archive binge: Thank you all. I know I ended it being a drama queen, I don't really agree with the ideology anymore, and I'm really not the same person I was (I went through a neopagan phase!) but still this site was the first online community I was in. I graduated from school and turned 18. Time flies. KFC Nyan Cat, June 20, 2019.
