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.

Who knows, maybe I should just take the medicine and not think ever.
Also, my parents want to have somebody babysit me constantly, because I am getting c-b's in school.
and no fun time, just studying.
I'm so fucking worthless.

Re: God damnit.
You're only worthless if you think you're worthless.
Unless you're me, then you're worthless regardless of thoughts.

Re: God damnit.
It's your parents that are good-for-nothing's then, not you. Nobody sane would want to make people study all day just because they don't get A's.

I do think I'm worthless.

Honestly, I'm getting c's because I'm not trying, but I'm not going to try at something I hate.
It's like man-cleaning things.

You most certainly are not pathetic. Whoever makes you think such deserves a good lynching ass-kicking.

Re: God damnit.
The only reason is grades. Their opinion is the opinion of school. Show them a report card with all As, and they'll love you. Because schools say they should love you. Bring a report card with all Fs, they'll hate you, because school says they should hate you.
You are not a failure. Maybe THEY are the failures.
It depends on how do YOU want to live?
Do you want to end up working all damn day long in a job you hate for money you really won't be able to enjoy that much? Though you will probably need school for money, or not. Just, do something, such as getting a GED. Learn whatever you want in school, bring your own materials, probably from a public library or such.

This. It's really pathetic the way some parents treat their own children over something as arbitrary as a report card.
