I see your location is in portland oregon... thats here in the USA. so heres something that might help you to understand why you might not be getting the responses you are looking for...
many schools in america are having a problem with teen agers going around "wishing" they could harm someone and then they do it. many schools across the USA have had to deal with school shootings, stabbings and other harmful things happening to the students, when investigations are done its discovered that other students have heard the violent one saying they wished someone harm or they wanted to harm someone or were going to harm someone.
because of all this school violence going on American schools now have a zero tolorance rules where students are told they must tell when they hear another student threatening harm and that a threat is any time someone says they wish they could hurt someone, a threat in school is any time someone states they want to hurt someone, and a threat in schools are any time someone says they are going to harm someone.
I know you dont consider what you said a threat but the school did other wise they would not have called your parents and you wouldnt have gotten punished for saying it.
think of it this way what if you were walking down the street and you heard someone say hey see that one over there I wish I could kill her... would you feel safe.... I know I wouldnt feel safe if someone in my town said they wanted to kill me.
my point is this is the world we live in now where schools cant ignore and pass off as nothing when any students (not just you) saying they wish they could kill someone, its just not cool anymore, its scarey because of how many schools have had to deal with school violence.
I saw in another thread you are also attacking another member because they pointed out what you posted and how scarey what you said was and could have been for the other person....
something you need to know about being online.... when you post its normal to get replies from people who dont agree with you just like its normal to get replies from people who do agree with you... thats the risk a person takes by posting online....everyone in the whole world sees what you post and not everyone is going to agree or see things the same way.
heres a suggestion... maybe when you post you can put in your posts that you only want replies from people who see things exactly the way you do, only want replies from people who will agree 100% with you.
with out letting people know what kinds of replies you want that leaves the whole world in replying their own points of view and sometimes their replies may not agree with you.

I had come here wishing for support because I went through this traumatizing event the emotionally damaged me. I guess I didn't expect people to defend the girl who hurt me so badly so it threw me off guard and hurt me when I was already very emotional.
If you stayed updated on the other thread, I apologized. I feel like you're making me out to be a bad person. I just needed some time to cool off because like I said, this is very emotional for me. Next time, I will specify that I am looking for emotional support.
You're explanation about America and violence in schools did help. I'm still deeply upset by the situation- more than you know, but I feel less singled out now.
Still though, what you said offended me. I asked if the emotional response that was triggered by the event related to that of PTSD. You basically through my wrong doings in my face and completely ignored the emotional part I am going through. You made me feel worse than I already do when I am already in an unstable mental state. The way I see it is you don't know how much this girl mentally broke me. You discarded my emotions and basically told me what I was feeling was my fault. Therefore, instead of helping me, you hurt me even more. You hurt me after I expressed how unstable my mental state is and that is not okay. You need to be more considerate of how I feel in this situation. Because, that girl? She's completely fine. Me? I'm a suicidal mess of emotions and being forced to live through an event that was traumatic for me. So next time, consider how your words can make me feel even worse about myself and even more depressed.
I came here for people who care- not people who hurt me more.
