Suspended from school?

uhmm...

using the fire exit (didn't know the alarm was going to activate)
calling my teacher a whore and asking her if she was stupid

I once kicked a door and teacher got mad at me.. he pushed me down the stairs then we had a little discussion.. he was angy.. He asked why I was smiling, I told him I didn't care for the door, my taxes paid for it anyways... and that if he pushed me once more we would next have a discussion in court.. so he brought me to the principal.. principal was angry at me.. and I told him to calm down and let me be, my taxes pay him every two weeks anyways.. so I got suspended..

I said bomb once.. teacher knew I was kidding.. but told me not to say bomb anymore.. so I started shouting BOMB BOMB BOMB IT'S GOING TO KILL EVERYONEEee and another teacher was passing by and thought I was serious..

and last but not least, we had to design a cereal box for marketing class.. Happened that they found out that the bowl (on the box) wasn't containing cereals but crystal meth.. I tried to explain it was a subliminal message.. but they didn't appreciate it..

good old days...

And you didn't tell the principal that the teacher shoved you down the stairs? That definitely should have cost him his job.
 
This dude egged my dad's work van in front of our house so the next day at school I pushed him up against a cement pillar and slammed his head up against said pillar quite a few times.

Suspended for 3 days, my dad said have a nice vacation but then I was caught driving my car (I was 15 at the time but had saved up for a junker) so I ended up in trouble anyways.
 
Once some stoner kid lit the back of my hair on fire in the hall, so I grabbed him, threw him against the lockers. Picked him up with one arm, gave him a few good ones in the gut and threw him across the hall into the other lockers, picked him up again but by then there were a few teachers holding me back. But I told the guy he was lucky to survive. The principal said he would have done the same but he had to give me at least a day.

Another time in junior high my french teacher had a mental breakdown and suspended me for a week, the principal phoned me the next day and apologized.

Another time in JR high my gym teacher blatently lied and said I did something I didn't. I got suspended but the other kids vouched for me and I came back, the teacher was reprimanded.

Another time in high school I lit 50 sparklers at once in the hall and almost burned the school down. Bad idea. 5 day suspension.

There have got to be more, I was a pretty well known kid and did really crazy stuff (Nicknamed Crazy Todd) and never took drugs or alcohol in high school until my 4th year when I started drinking)

Then there were the things I would have been suspended for that I never did, like being plastered in class, being destructive, disruptive, and the fact I only went to 1/3 of my classes haha. I basically showed up for lunch to meet up with friends and then leave or sit in class making fun of idiots.
 
I was suspended around 15 times in my junior year....more things than I care to mention...The kicker is the stuff they didn't catch me for.......but below are some of my suspensions...

Some stupid ones like being in a girls bathroom....I was in there with a young lady friend of mine, they only caught us talking though...

Suspended for skipping school...nothing like a 3 day vacation for not showing up in the 1st place...

Swearing at my homeroom teacher over the schools phone system...I thought she was a girl I didn't like....the best part is they put what I said, verbatum, on the suspension slip!! It was rather graphic....I framed that and hung it in my locker...

There's more....but not going to be related here...and to the comments about drinking?



:hiding:
 
1 day suspension and 1 detention for "reckless driving" in the parking lot. basically some of the kids driving tuner cars at my school though they were bad *** because they could dump the clutch on their little 4 cylinder cars at about 5 grand and spin (not smoke) their tires. so one day i was leaving in my '81 buick century, which just happens to have a tuned up 350 chevy in it, and they wanted to make fun of my "grandma car" and how there little ricers were so much better. in reply....i filled their part of the parking lot with smoke ( i was getting new tires that weekend anyway). they now know not to mess with American muscle. :D
 
I got excluded (suspended) once for punching some a**hat. He stole like £80 from my mates mum. There were 3 of us in the house when it went missing and he claimed it was me.

I found out what he had been saying so I left the class I was in and found his strolled in and skelped him one for it. The funniest thing was I had to walk round his teacher to get to him.

I got a weeks holiday from school and my mum and dad never even punished me! My dad said he would have done the same but not at school.

You are my hero, good job. What was their reaction? Also gas and insurance must be hell on that thing.
 
:rollno: Haha these stories are great. Ok so heres my 2 cents:

Last year, I was having a pretty bad time(or actually a REALLY bad time, Edit: my best friend died, and my family was having severe problems)so I decided i'd go to my friends house for lunch and got about 6-7 shots of Everclear and go back to school. I got back and was throwin chairs and sh*t everywhere(at the teacher BAD IDEA). I ran out the building and they didnt catch me, but I came back at 6th period and my friend got me outta there and I walk baaack to his house drank half a bottle of vodka and went back again. I got expelled :rollno: :scowl: that was prolly the dumbest thing ever!

One time I stabbed a kid in the lower back with a screwdriver cause he decked my sister in the face, also BAD IDEA(For him and me), got locked up for about 2-3 months, which sucked.

Ummmm, one time my teacher pissed me off so I put a bottle of rum in his desk and told the officer I had seen it there...........yea he got fired(Doesnt have anything to do with suspensions, but its a funny HS story) :hiding:

And theres a couple of more minor offenses, like cursing and stuff......but imma good kid now :D (Im homeschooled :) )
 
I am #1, in my 9th grade year, I got suspended in september for swearing 3 days, in october I got expelled for threatening to shoot my teacher while in detention (bad move), the day I got back I got another week for flipping the same teacher off. and had a few other small suspensions through the rest of that year, but I only had a total of 32 days in class and still passed the year (thank you cincinnati public school)

I only had a few other suspensions through the rest of my high school career, I lit a science book on fire with a bunsen burner, and a few fights.

I was a little hellraiser, my mom should have shot me before I entered highschool when it became appearant that I was dancing to my own drum.


edit: the guy above me wins.
 
I think I got a total of 15 days of ISS for (get this) tardies to school. Pretty much failed all my classes because of the inability to catch up from that crippling removal from class. That's the boring stuff. Now for some good stories.
In 8th grade, there was a field trip that I declined respectfully to participate in. In return for my want to save money on a pointless activity, they punished myself and 2 other students by making us write 3 pages each on 3 careers of our choice. At the time, I was big into the stupid rebel b/s, so I wrote one page that looked pretty much like
Name: Drake Kennedy
You are a sadist. Please retire now and do us all a favor.
Got three days OSS for disrespect and insubordination. Was it worth it? Only because the assistant principal giggled when he read what I wrote. :D

This year just passed, I was in ISS for tardies/skipping, and decided to stop by Chic-fil-a on the way to school and pick up some hash browns and chicken stuffs. Anyways, the ISS guy was flipping out on me when I took the food in to the room, and then kinda relaxed. About an hour later, I was munching on my chicken, and he gets REALLY worked up about it. I apologize, and he goes back to playing solitaire and reading the paper. About 2 minutes later, I was trying to be very discrete, and the guy calls me to his desk with my mouth absolutely full (I crammed the last bite in so he wouldn't take it away). He says "What in the hell do you think you're doing?!?" I said (with my mouth so full I could barely make noise) "Finishing my food, sir!". I swear, I've never seen someone turn that red. They gave me another day or two of ISS, but it was totally worth it, if only because of the food that came out of my mouth, onto his desk.
 
Once, 3 day suspension, fighting. I was in a lot of fights, never started them but finished all of them, and only got suspended for that one because there weren't any witnesses to back up my claim that I was just defending myself.

Once I actually had the following conversation with the vice principal:

VP: "What are you here for? Another fight?"
Me: "Yep."
VP: "Where's the other guy?"
Me: "In the bathroom, cleaning up. I think he broke his nose."
VP: "Did you start it?"
Me: "No."
VP: "Did you finish it?"
Me: "Yep."
VP: "Congratulations. If we had more kids stick up for themselves, we wouldn't have as many problems here. Here's a hall pass, get back to class."

Those were the days. Nowadays I'd have a rap sheet as long as my arm for sticking up for myself.



man I wish I had it happen like that...I never really fought back, but I still got in trouble even though this one bully always got on me. D*mn jerk. he never got suspended (at least while I went to that school) but one of his lackies did--for a day--for throwing a rock at someone who ended up bleeding cause of it.


Never got suspended, never even close. although I've been around plenty of people who've been suspended and expelled and been called into the office on more than one occassion about my friends...maybe I need to pick better friends at school...lol.
