Sorry that happened to you Court Knee. Unfortunately, it's a life lesson in high school that's not advertised in the curriculum - i.e., "life isn't fair, and you're always responsible for your own actions." It's important to stand up for what's right, but it's equally important to follow the rules in life. You're not really in a fight with the world - you are learning to walk the tightrope.

Sorry to hear you fell off the tightrope. I'm glad you have friends here who can serve as your net. My son used to get picked on a lot at school by teachers and students alike.
