As of late, I've had a problem at school ,all centered around a girl that just loves to see me in trouble. As breifly as I can explain it, I'm in trouble for being a "bully". The only reason they would crack down on bullying (not saying that's a bad thing) is because the a kid from the cross-town rivals killed himself. She wants me in trouble because there was a note last year (that I didn't write) that said she gives me head. Now the bullying lecture, I can handle, because I may come off as patronizing to some people, but the other thing I'm being blamed for, the letter, I didn't do. The guidence counselers said they have a "reliable" source (so that makes me think teacher) that I am to fault for the note about oral/whatever it says. I know it may be an odd (and demoralizing) situation, but the principal said if it ever happens again (the letter, not "bullying") I'm skipping the other punishments and going straight to (out of school) suspention. There was nothing I could do about it the last time it happened, and there wouldn't be anything I could do about it if it happened again, so I'm asking the helpful community (no trolls) about how to outsmart these people/prove my innocence.
Take it to court if they expell you and its a public school, because that is not grounds for expulsion according to gov't policies.
Ha. Without bringing forth this "reliable witness" they have no real grounds to expel you. If they do, bring it to court where they will have to.
Request some sort of restraining order against the girl? Make it a point to put as much distance between the two of you as possible. If it involves never walking down a certain hall just so you can avoid her locker, so be it. If you never go near her or her locker, how can you possibly leave a dirty note in it?
I'm going to go ahead and leave the unreasonable comment that you'll eventually do out of frustration. Make a few of notes and leave them signed "By (Someone you know)" then the principal may think you were just the first in a wave of a bad prank. See, the perfect unreasonable comment; it seems like it could work, hell it probably could, but it could get you in a lot more trouble if caught.
As others have said, bring it to court. School drama and crap only flies as long as they think they can get away with it. In court its what you can prove.
Punch her. Teach the ***** a lesson. Some people in life just have it coming to them. Or as above, take it to court. Schools can be pretty lazy when it comes to finding the real culprit, as cluckin said, they'll blame you on the fact that your names on it. That isn't real evidence at all. If you go to court, the witness will have to testify and too be honest, from what you've said they've got **** all evidence appart from someone's opinion. Opinions mean **** all in court. Restraining order should be the last measure. If it really gets out of hand, do it, but if not, just leave it.
As I've been putting more of this together today, their "reliable" source is another student. If they are going to trust one student over another, that is complete ****. A theory I've put together based on what the general people in this thread are saying is Mr. Principle man knows as well as I do that her parents are just crazy enough to take this to court, and he wants to avoid that at all costs.
They cannot prove their case based on two students stories and a piece of paper. They'd have to prove that you wrote it, with your handwriting. There's a considerable amount of doubt that you did anything wrong, and any judge would agree.
The school wants to avoid court at all costs. So, by doing something about what she wants, they either delay an inevitable court-case or avoid one altogether. Rest assured, if they try to expel you, they're ****ed legally.
Umm.. Out-of-School suspension does not equal expulsion? It just means it's not in-school suspension.
lmao! I totally read it on my phone, posted the first response, then opened up a sea of people who read mine and ran with it. I totally apologize for that! Either way, court. Court is your solution, because they still need reasonable proof on a gov't budget.
Many have already said it, but one of the easiest ways to clear this up would be to do a handwriting comparison. Get them to compare the note to something you have written before the notes existence was known. That way they can't accuse you of modifying your handwriting if you wrote down a duplicate of the note for comparisons. Failing that, threaten the school with court, as many have said. If the principal has any skerrick of intelligence about him, he'd try to avoid this at all cost and do his best to convince the parents of this girl to tell their child to pull her ****ing head in and stop being a manipulative little *****. If they end up taking it to court, then you'd win. The incontrovertible evidence would clearly point to you having nothing to do with this situation, and you'd be in the clear. Judges aren't stupid, they didn't get to their positions by falling for stupid little blatant fabrications. If you truly had nothing to do with it, then the judge will be able to see that, and everything will be hunky dory.
after quizzing my school guidance counselors, they don't have anything other than "witnesses" (her friends) to prove anything against me. I might as well be in the clear...
i got suspended for drawing dead bodies smashing each other with hammers and writing metal lyrics in bloody letters next to it. they thought i was gonna killspree the school. it was hilarious. i was like lol, please. btw, suspension is pretty fun. you dont have to go to school.
I beat up a kid once because he was being a douche. I got suspended for "harassing" him off, not beating him up. That day I realized how retarded one school can be. So teachers assuming you did it would just be "harassing" at my school. Let me ask you this, did you even know the kid at all?
Yea, I know them. In a school of less than 750 it's hard not to. I've decided if they dare bring me to the office again for some type of crap, I'm taking it legal, meaning I've already won.
