Scared of School

Chat Room - Do we really need to explain? 

Games - A few online games we've selected to help kill some boredom.

Jokes - Some school-related jokes to make you giggle to yourself (but not during class hopefully!).

Poems - Some poems from books or contributed by you!

Here a few games that we like. We'll be adding more as we go along but this is what we have for now. As this is a school-related website most of the games will be school-related but we won't be adding any of those childish number games. Strictly funny games. Or so we like to think. 

Skoolrush - Rush around the school doing errands for the Headteacher. You have to register to play this game but it only asks for your name, password, email and username. You get to make your own person too! Can you tell that we like this game a lot?

Cheat - This game (and the one after it) is from Geekfocus.com to whom we are grateful! Here is the summary of the game: You are Alex. A boy that just can't (read won't) study. So, simply you just cheat at tests. The last 10 days of school are here and so are the 10 final knowledge tests. What to do? Cheat! [We aren't encouraging cheating. This is only for purposes of a fun game. ]

Cheat 2 - Yup, the sequel to Cheat which lies amongst the various other Geekfocus games. Same rules as the last game but now Alex is equipped with some talented friends. Together with them can you help him cheat his way through the classes? [Some bad language is present through the game and again we ain't promoting the act of cheating.]

Jokes about teachers, pupils or school in general! There are many, many jokes out there so we'll only put up our favourites. If there are any jokes you'd really like to see posted then email them to us by clicking here.

In Your Face!

"If there are any idiots in the room, will they please stand up?" said the sarcastic teacher. After a long silence, one boy rose to his feet. "Now then mister, why do you consider yourself an idiot?" enquired the teacher with a sneer.
"Well, actually I don't," said the student, "but I hate to see you standing up there all by yourself."

The Whole Truth And Nothing But...?

A little girl came home from school and said to her mother, "Mommy, today in school I was punished for something that I didn't do."
The mother exclaimed, "But that's terrible! I'm going to have a talk with your teacher about this ... by the way, what was it that you didn't do?"
The little girl replied, "My homework."

Bah Humbug...  

A little boy comes home from his first day at school.
Mother asks, "What did you learn today?"
The kid replies, "Not enough. I have to go back tomorrow."

I'm Not Too Fussy...

Father: How do you like going to school?
Son: The going bit is fine and so is the coming home bit but I'm not too keen on the time in-between!

Here are poems that we've found from various places about school and mostly bullying and peer pressure. If you have a poem you'd like put here then email it to admin@scared-of-school.tk and we'll put it on here!

Fabricated Toy Dolls by braulio1670 (TeenHelp.org)

Confused and lonely
Comfort comes to me in distant lands
Places I prayed were safe
Were lost from my hands

No need for disrespect
Let yourself free from abuse
Let me take this moment to think
Put my talents to use

Don’t pretend that you know all about me
When I don’t even know myself
Whispers and yells are cruel
When trying to discover the true self

I say that difference is a wonderful thing
But is it, if not meant to be cherished and admired?
Should I be alone while I find out my heart’s true desires?

Changes go a long way
I’m not the man I’ll be tomorrow
Then isn’t it a waste
To let time flow feeling its sorrow?

If equals we were all
Turned into fabricated toy dolls
Lifted by the wind of opinion
How long would it take for one of us to fall?

Erin's poem (from the book Bullying in Secondary Schools)

I cannot face your sneers anymore
I cannot haul myself into the arena
And be tortured again

I want to see the stars and the moonlight
And to walk calmly through the lily fields
To the other side

But everyday it feels as if I will be wrapped in barbed wire
And made to confess my sins
And have my fingernails ripped out

I am nothing, no one, a waste of space
I wish I was invisible, then, like they say I am
I am nothing but a crawling bug
And I hate myself.

Greta's poem (also from Bullying in Secondary Schools)

I am not wanted, I hate myself for being me
I want to kill myself, but that would be just as bad
Why can’t I choose? I can’t eat properly, drink, sleep
I’m just too scared, Too scared
I don’t know why I’m writing
The people in Bosnia are killing each other
People all over the world are starving
BUT I’M SCARED!
Just leave me alone, Please leave me alone
For whatever I did to you, sorry.

Bullying by brokenharmsurvive (TeenHelp.org)

I am the person who walked home alone,
I am the person who sat on my own,
I am the person who dreaded school,
I am the person who did not want to play,
I am the person who had no friends,
I am the person you said had no trend,
I am the person you pushed around,
I  am the person who made NO sound,
I am the person who got all the blame,
I am the person who you called lame,
I am the person you made cry,
You are the person who made this all true,
And I committed suicide because of you.

I'd like to tell them what they put me through,
And how they made me feel,
I'd like to tell them how they hurt me,
As I wait for my wounds to heal,
I'd like to tell them how I cried,
Again and again and again,
I'd like to show them my cuts and bruises,
That remind me of their pain,
I'd like to tell them what I think of them,
And that I never did anything wrong,
I'd like to turn back the hands of time,
To stop my misery from going on so long,
I'd like them to think of me,
And remember what they've done
That they hurt me, my friends and family,
And thought it was fun,
I'd like them to think of me,
As I tied the rope to my bed,
And wrapped it tightly round my neck,
But I can't...
Because I'm dead.

Must I? by Rosie (yours truly x)

Must I alter, change; must I add?
Must I always feel so bad?
Must I be me; new and improved?
Must I be different to be liked by you?
Must I be something I am not?
Must I deliver things I haven't got?
Must I try to be better than second best?
Must I put my happiness to the test?
Must I always receive love that is tough?
Must I always be not good enough?

Life by Rosie
Life still goes on, it never ends,
Sunday to Monday, it starts again,
No time for silence, no time for peace,
No longer sanctuary in a deepest sleep,
Built to keep breathing, short breaths or long,
Everything keeps going, the minutes seep on,
Nothing is a heaven; everything would cease,
Dark and no breaths, just absolute peace,
Life is no race, there's no finish line,
We all still move on, and so does time,
Life is a cycle but there's no resting place,
We all still go round at an alarming pace,
Have to keep breathing, pain never ends,
Daughter becomes mother, it all starts again,
Those who say it gets better, should know it's a lie,
Forced to go on living, Too scared to die.
