Suspensions suck

[John "Eh" MacDonald]

Every year since Grade 7 I've been suspended. This shit sucks, man. I think I'm cursed.

[Q]

You are lucky the board admins don't run your school.

[John "Eh" MacDonald]

:laugh:

Haha, with all the sexist and homophobic language that goes around my school, everyone's lucky the board admins don't run my school.

Do you have that system when you are suspended you dont go to school?Cause i was suspended if i had to go to school.That sucked a bit , but we never gave a fuck really, we were just screwing with our teachers more:lol: Why does it suck?Unless there is danger of forced to repeat the class, it was a bit enjoying tbh:D

[Ele'ill]

This is a good thread. Lets revisit the horrific memories of our youth. I distinctly remember a beautiful morning with birds calling to each other, sunshine and green forest tree-lines being completely ruined by the smell of school, yelling teachers, the cold tile floor of the lobby and the absurdly forced authoritative speech of law enforcement.

Those were good times though. Only a select few of us in the world realized that it was the time of our lives to do anything we wanted and get away with it.

yeah i miss school.

It sucks because its boring as hell. I'm one of the few people in the world that love going to school. But today was all good i guess, i slept like motherfucker till 1:30.

Here's the humorous story. My buddy was smoking outside the gymnasium doors (the reason we chose this spot is because It's hidden from the cameras.) He passed me the kill of it, just as soon as I took the first drag off it the gym teacher opened the doors. In my surprise, I looked over and blew a huge cloud of smoke right in her face. After I calmed down from all the laughing I got yelled at an now I'm here.

[Nuvem]

I graduated without so much as a single suspension on my record. I don't know why everyone else finds themselves in trouble at school, it's not that hard to behave just well enough to not have problems.
Back in middle school I even got in fights constantly, but not once was a disciplined for it because I knew when, where and why to fight people-let them start it, and do it in the locker room. It seems like it's always just dumb shit that gets people into trouble- skipping classes, smoking in the building, arguing aggressively with teachers. Just be where you're supposed to be, don't smoke and be courteous even in debate with your teachers and chances are you'll be fine.


Not stabbing or shooting anyone generally helps too.

Smooth move.

I rarely got in trouble at school. I did well enough in all of my subjects for my teachers not to care that I was messing about or that I hadn't done any homework. In my 6th form maths class, my teacher was constantly having a go at this group of guys who never did any work, but she never got annoyed with me. Maybe that was because of my mental health stuff though.

The only things I ever really got in trouble for were related to PE because I fucking hate sport.

Ahh the story of my school life(beside the smoking part):lol:
I didnt look why change that though, it was giving my time in school a better tone from the boring shit it was.I would do those again if i would go back.Its boring not doing anything;)

[RedAnarchist]

I was suspended for the last two weeks of high school, before going back for my exams. My first ever suspension came right at the end of school, although I did have many, many detentions in high school.

[RedStarOverChina]

I was a goodie two-shoes in high school. The only time I got suspended was when somebody attacked me from the back, and I went berserk on the wrong person. Still, he kinda deserved it.

Super easy hint - don't smoke in school.

[John "Eh" MacDonald]

Super easy hint - don't smoke in school.

I didn't smoke in the school, the gym doors are outside. The problem was it was on school grounds. It's fucked up how my buddy didn't get suspended even though he was with me.

EDIT: really, smoking inside the school? how old do you think I am, 12?

[Sam_b]

In school in the sense of being at school and smoking.

Do you really think I meant indoors? What are you, 12?

[DecDoom]

I've never gotten a detention or a suspension. :p

[RedAnarchist]

I've never gotten a detention or a suspension. :p

Never got caught, or never done anything worth a detention or suspension?

[DecDoom]

Never done anything.

Smoking weed right outside any doors to your school is a terrible idea, not gonna lie. At least go out into the woods if you're going to smoke at school (which I personally think is a bad idea anyways).


I've never been suspended.

[John "Eh" MacDonald]

Smoking weed right outside any doors to your school is really stupid, not gonna lie. At least go out into the woods if you're going to smoke at school (which I personally think is a dumb idea anyway).


I've never been suspended.

It was a cigarette, I don't smoke pot. Smoking is okay at my school as long as you do it at the BBQ pit across the student parking lot. The problem is, in between classes its to far to walk there without being late, hence the stupid place to smoke. Actually its not really that stupid because its a blind spot from the cameras and nobody ever goes out through those doors in between classes. The problem was one of my friends put a rock in the door to keep it from locking so our smoke kinda drifted into the school attracting the teachers attention.

The lesson I learned; walk around the school instead of being lazy and sticking a rock in the door.

I'm suspended again starting for jigging yesterday.

[Tablo]

I never got suspended. The one time I was almost suspended I got into a fight. The other guy got suspended and the assistant principal decided the band director should discipline me since I was a band geek. The director just told me not to fight. :p

I did, however, manage to frequently piss off my teachers by sleeping in class and correcting them(mainly corrected my econ teacher).

[Kuppo Shakur]

I only got detention once in middle school, because one of my teachers was pissed off about something unrelated to me and I didn't get a paper signed or something.
Funny thing is though, I was involved in about three fights in high school and was never caught. I never actually fought anybody, but every time a fight started near me, I'd shove through the circle of students and push the fighters around and then run back out of the circle.:laugh:

[Nolan]

I've never been in any trouble with any school or with the law whatsoever.

[The Garbage Disposal Unit]

There is a direct relationship between suspensions and credibility.
Keep it up - you are well on yr way to cool.

No seriously though, none of my friends who dropped out of high school are really any worse off than my friends with, like, University degrees. They just enjoyed a few extra years of trainhopping, living on their own, and generally ended up more mature sooner as a result.

That said - there are cooler things you can get suspended for than smoking. I have one on my record for "defiance".

Haha, you make it sound like I was trying to get caught. I only made this thread to talk about the pointlessness of suspensions and hear stories. If you wanna hear my "cool" rap sheet I'll tell you.

[John "Eh" MacDonald]

Yeah, I sounded like a douche in that post. I had a bad day.

[Ele'ill]

Wrap sheets would be less pretentious. Non-political school related shenanigans only- I don't think kids can get away with a lot these days because everyone is so fucking serious all the time.

So this kid was really annoying and would bully people because his dad was a sheriff and I got into a little fight with him and he set it up the second time so that his sheriff dad would be watching and he instigated but I hit the kid pretty hard and his dad runs out and grabs me and tells me to go home and later that evening he came up to the door with his cop shades on (90's cop shades) and my mother who suffers from mental illness told him if he or his son or his son's mom touched me again she'd break his legs cop or not. I think he knew she was drunk and was also a 'neighbor' but it never moved past that.

Someone pooped on the floor and I got blamed for it because I was laughing so hard when questioned about it
I got thrown out of a meeting with the guidance counselor, principal, two friends, our parents and local police because I couldn't stop laughing. The soda machine in this weird little office wouldn't stop creaking and it kept interrupting the principal.

Breaking into the house of a fellow student who had stolen my bicycle
Being called into the principals office because word had gotten out that I had possibly 'danced with a friend's mom who happened to also be a stripper' and it was ludicrous because we did dance but it wasn't sexual, we were fully clothed and she was wearing a partial chicken suit- we were both making fun of the situation at the time.
For hiding in the bathroom
Hairspray flame thrower
Refusing to comply with school policy (again) regarding a shirt I was wearing that escalated to threatened expulsion
Intentionally singing horribly at a school choir event
I got sent home for punching a sandwich to death after a lunch room monitor wouldn't stop bothering me although this wasn't funny and I was pretty upset. (there was sandwich everywhere)
I got a week detention once for throwing a container of colored pencils into the air because someone had taken the color I needed and I hated the class and the teacher.
Frequent detention for leaving class to use the bathroom during thunderstorms and then standing outside and watching it- this usually conincided with getting kicked out of class and taking another detour before the office to smoke or do other stuff but the detentions kept me from having to turn in work that I hadn't done on several occasions.






I'll add more when I remember them. I got through all of this without bullying anybody.

[Jazzratt]

I was a goody two shoes swot in school for the most part until the last few years of my GCSEs. I wasn't quite a Mari3L level difficult little shit, but I had my moments. The reason I cocked up most of my education is a number of people refused to teach me after I threatened my biology teacher with a 30cm serrated knife.

[Ele'ill]

I wasn't quite a Mari3L level difficult little shit,

Things went from moments to constant the very day Alanis Morissette's song and video 'Ironic' came out which was mid 90's although my memory could be off here.

Wish I could go back to high school; believe me, real life suspensions (work; license) suck more.

[Ele'ill]

Wish I could go back to high school; believe me, real life suspensions (work; license) suck more.

Even high school has the consequences piling on. I'd recommend ceasing the fuckery after middle school. I graduated high school with decent grades because I had awesome friends that helped keep me thinking positive- had it not been for them I would have been in tough shape. But as it turns out I just paused the fuckery through high school and restarted that shit back up a week after graduation.

[ÑóẊîöʼn]

During primary school I was the model student, I loved doing schoolwork and got along with all the teachers, including Mrs Lynch who was (or at least seemed at the time) a total hardass.

Things changed when I went to secondary school however. I remember being incensed at the very concept of homework and consistently refused to do it throughout the rest of my school days. Another aspect I despised about secondary school was the mandatory Physical Education, so I got out of that by never bringing my kit, forcing the PE teacher to sit me down on the sidelines. My relationship with the teachers was a lot more variable - there was this English teacher I always got along with, whereas I never got along with my Chemistry teacher because he had no indoor voice (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NoIndoorVoice).

[Mannimarco]

I wish Irish schools were more like this. :lol:

I got in a 5-second pussy slap fight in a corridor that the other guy started, and the vice-principle spent half an hour deciding whether or not to expel me.

I almost got expeled again when the Vice-principle told me that I had been "BULLYIN'" (pronounced bull'in, to my trying-not-to-laugh-difficulty.) other students, and that half of the school was complaining about me or something. He said if heard one more complaint, he'd expel me. This doesn't make sense, when I look back and consider that my only physical contact consisted of non-violent messing around with friends.

He said that it is legal assault to so much as touch another human being, which is hilarious, because he's constantly putting his arm on people's shoulders.

I'm constantly sent out of classes for laughing. Some teachers are just so hardass that odd moments, like them staring off into space or having a funny facial expression, can make me and some others laugh hystericly. It's just kind of a meme.

In primary school, which was less strict, I got into a lot more shit. Like, throwing hurleys(clubs) at priests, rocks at teachers, etc

Do they still have the right beat students at school in Ireland?

Yeah, most teachers don't. Home economics teacher used to throw shit at people, not anymore. Metalwork teacher kicks and pulls hair.

[Manic Impressive]

There was never any point suspending me as I barely ever went, in fact we only used to turn up to PE lessons. I didn't get caught for most of the things I did but here's a few,
fighting a lot
carrying a knife (managed to avoid my parents ever knowing fuck knows how)
spitting on an RE teacher
stealing liquid butane to fill up my lighter with

things I didn't get caught for
getting drunk
got so stoned after pulling bongs all lunch time I fell asleep during physics
doing E's in chemistry class
selling herbal cigarettes and other such things
stole a few hundred tickets for the school disco and sold them, the teachers wouldn't accept the stolen tickets so a few hundred kids ended up out side the hall getting pissed and burning things.
made a few teachers cry through psychological warfare but I guess they were too embarrassed to do anything about it, actually got me out of some scrapes
led a revolt against a lunchtime detention where the whole class escaped out of the window
set a bin on fire with a bible

I was a little angel compared with some but in the end I got "asked to leave" because I wasn't turning up. We managed to not go to school for 4 months of year 10 without getting caught.

wow that was like confession how many hail marys do I have to say?

[Mannimarco]

ew

I meant cans and stuff. >.>

[Rafiq]

Me and my friends got suspended once for flooding the gym with ranch. Seriously, ranch everywhere.

Then, my friend punted sweet and sour sauce and it hit the principal right in the face.

Two week suspension for that.

[John "Eh" MacDonald]

Usually i don't get suspended for what I do because I'm a teachers pet ( and proud of it ).probably the most dickish time I've ever been suspended for was in grade 9. I just bought a hit of acid and a nug of pot. I was in my last class of the day and on the way out of the door when my teacher accused me of stealing a spark plug.

Now i don't know why he would think i would steal a spark plug when i can pick one up at Canadian Tire for $1.00 but apparently i looked like the type.

So he told me to empty out my pockets and I told him he had no right to search me without a proper reason. He put his hand in my pocket anyway and took out my tin which housed my tab.

5 days later i found out that the teacher ended up throwing away the tab and only gave the pot to the police.

I didn't know if I should have been grateful or pissed.

Which is why I chose not to use drugs anymore (other than my addictive personality). I did too much at too young of an age.
