Ok, so I'm a Junior and wanted to go to the college fair. I lost my papers to turn it in so I was just going to get a note and do it. The next morning I asked the counselor about it and she said I couldn't leave even though I had the note. I consulted with my friend after this and when the bell rang I asked her if my mom called could I go. She gave me a snappy NO and I walked away saying "Id rather Ditch." She hates me already so she went to the VP and said I called her a *****. Im on suspension and if I get another referral I get expelled. So my question is, Can I get expelled for something I didn't do?
Thanks to everyone that answers! :)

It's spelled principal = head of a school. Principle = rule.

Who had signed the note? Did you really say "I'd rather ditch"? Or what she thought she'd heard? (Be honest, so I can give you good advice.)

I got suspended for a similar thing back in Middle-school. I was in the office and I told the principal I wouldn't do something again. As she walked away I held up my crossed fingers (implying that I was lying).

Needless to say a teacher told the principal I flipped her off. I got suspended.

Its your word against the counselors. If you're a "troublemaker" you're more likely to get the boot. Pleed your case but be honest.

My mom signed the note and yes I really did say id rather ditch, she however, said she heard "your a *itch"
And yes I know about principal :)

Is there some way to defend yourself, or make amends? Are you sometimes a "troublemaker"?

Lyingsuns3t · Oct 10, 2010, 09:04 PM

Er, Well I am on a contract because last year the school made me take some medications. The medications made me extremely moody and I ended up expelled. I am on a contract saying that iif I get suspension I get expelled. My friend was there too, by the way.

Okay, so they're lying in wait for you.

Certainly there must be a wide enough paper trail behind you to help you justify former bad behaviors. Are any teachers on your side?

Lyingsuns3t · Oct 10, 2010, 09:14 PM

Not that wide, I have only that one problem... and one ISS. Im not that bad of a kid.

What about doing some kind of make-up work?

Lyingsuns3t · Oct 10, 2010, 09:22 PM

What do you mean make up work?

Wondergirl · Oct 10, 2010, 09:27 PM

Do some kind of work that will cancel out the suspension, and put you back to square one again. It would show your good heart and willingness to cooperate.

I don't think so... do you think begging will work

Wondergirl · Oct 10, 2010, 09:34 PM

If you beg, they would just laugh. Have you asked about working it off?

Wondergirl · Oct 10, 2010, 09:35 PM

Do you have a counselor or social worker?

Lyingsuns3t · Oct 10, 2010, 09:44 PM

I don't think our school participates in that program... and I really need to stay in school

Wondergirl · Oct 10, 2010, 09:49 PM

I mean work IN school.

You have NO counselor or social worker as an advocate?

Lyingsuns3t · Oct 10, 2010, 09:51 PM

The counselor is what's turning me in

Wondergirl · Oct 10, 2010, 09:53 PM

WHY is the counselor turning you in??

Wondergirl · Oct 10, 2010, 09:55 PM

Are you good at something -- say, math? Or one of the sciences? What if you did penance by serving as a peer tutor for maybe a month or two, helping a classmate, or more likely someone younger, with math or science? This would help you AND the other student and would show your good faith.
