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.

I want to go to high school
Yes, I am that bored.
College is starting in a week and a bit, and I feel like my fucking soul is vacating my body through my nostrils.
I actually asked friends of mine who're still in high school to take me with them. D:

FABY YOU MUST BREAK FREE OF THE GRIP THAT SCHOOL HAS ON YOU!
I had the same problem, being forced to go to school nearly everyday ruined my drive to go and do shit on my own. Don't worry it'll come back, just feed and nurture it..... wut?

Re: I want to go to high school
I want to go back to primary school when I was 12 years old and had the most motivation and spirit in the world and watched pokemon in the morning while eating coco pops. It was such a fairy land, even school was a fun thing at that point.
I need to find a new fairyland

Re: I want to go to high school
OH, and, because editing posts is too mainstream for me, have a double 'un.
It's not that I want to go to high school specifically. I just want stuff to do. Homework, tonnes of books to read, projects, anything to keep me occupied.

You gotta go do that shit yourself now. When high school first ended all I did was play video games... Now I read my own books, jog, lift, snowboard, go out and hang with people,play an instrument, play video games, write, I just find shit to do and do it lol

Or, like 90% of people do, fuck around!

People say the problem with me is I have psychotic tendencies and care not about other human beings I don't like and or know. So?
