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.

The forums are mostly read-only and are in a maintenance/testing phase, before being permanently archived. Please use this time to get the contact details of people you'd like to keep in touch with. My contact details are here.

Please do not make a mirror copy of the forums in their current state - things will still change, and some people have requested to be able to edit or delete some of their personal info.

I dun geddit. I did this over and over on paper. They're all possible. It is late, but I'm pretty damn sure I got it right. This one question knocked me down to a C, and I'm a tad butthurt ATM.

Re: Someone please explain to me how this is wrong.

It says the only correct answers are C, D and E, so it obviously made the mistake. There is no way the resulting score has to do with it being late.

Oh, not the Quiz, I meant it's late at night, I was wondering if I overlooked something.

Damn shitty program.

No, Absent meant the score, not your answer.

Re: Someone please explain to me how this is wrong.

If it were -5 instead of +5, then the answer it gave would make sense.

Re: Someone please explain to me how this is wrong.

All the answers are indeed right, and Rilian is correct about the scenario where only the latter three would be the right answers. I think the program creators must've mucked up or overlooked it.

Re: Someone please explain to me how this is wrong.

The fuckers took me off the program before I could finish my second class, so my parents are using this as an excuse of why I need to go back to school. That fucking dog ruined my life when he tore my internet cord up. I don't care, they can't legally force me to go. So fuck them.

Re: Someone please explain to me how this is wrong.

I'm going to be 16 in about a week. And even if they try to force me, they're going to wish they hadn't.

ah, In my state, you have to get parental consent until your eighteen.

I think.

It might be like that here too, but like I said, if they try to force me, they're going to wish they hadn't.

Re: Someone please explain to me how this is wrong.

It's 17 in texas.
It's like, when each state's douchebags wrote the constitution, someone just blurted out some numbers for mandatory school attentance. The numbers they blurted out in texas were 6-17.

Well, I decided to ask the internet just to make sure of this. And I found this website that says texas's law is 6-18. But that's weird, dude, because I knew this kid who dropped out at 17. Hrm. OK, I just looked at another website, and apparently you can drop out at 17 if you're going to get a GED. Whatever. That kid totally didn't. He ended up going back to high school two years later.
