*This is also reagrding chaos4579's question.* But, that's what happened to me and my ex. We just got caught kissing in the hallway, and we had to go to the Assistant Pricipal's office for our transfer papers. Both of us were sent to and alternative school for tha rest of that yr(it was only a good 2 mon since school started). \nBut, when we got back, more ppl had come out of their closets and in the open with theirself. I don't think they can kick all of us out of school like that. \nBesides, how can they do that when you have hetro couples tryn to make babies in the halls? They damn near be sexin w/ their clothes on and they don't say a word to none of them.\nAnd, it's most of the girls on our basketball team too. Try it? So, b/c it's our team and we got a chance at going to State, they just threaten us with suspensions if they see us hugging/kissing our girlfriends. It's still stupid to me.

No, it's not right.  Not if hetero couples are not punished in the same way.\n\nIf you haven't already, consult a lawyer.

I think you have a hard fight ahead of you because people opposed to gay-straight clubs have lost every single time in court.  I would start looking around to cases where they have been argued in state and federal court documents to see what arguements people have made.  But you've really got an uphill battle, since no legal team in this country has suceeded in permenantly disbanding or disallowing GSAs.  There is a federal law, the 1984 Equal AccessAct, that protects student clubs.\n\nThe only argument I ever hear is that gay kids will use this club as a dating service, which is kinda an odd argument, since any high school club can be used to meet and date people.  There is also an assumption that these clubs will talk about explicit sexual matters, when if you look at most mission statements, they are about preventing anti-gay bullying and harassment.  And besides, plenty of non-gay clubs will talk about explicit sexual matters.  I was in various drama/theatre extra cirriculars in high school, and we talked about sex all the time.  So yeah, it is possible that GSA members will talk about sex on the side, but almost every other club or group of teens is going to talk about sex on the side, so that is really not an effective arguement for singling out gay clubs.  As for it being non-academic, there are plenty of non-academic groups.  I don't think anyone can argue that football or golf is academic.

lol no. Though I live in an all girls dorm this year and last year. I don't know if you've seen the movie Waiting.. but in it the guys play a game were they try to show eachother their packages. Well we had our own version of the game so we would go around flashing eachother. We also had shower parties. Most girls (straight or otherwise) are totally comfortable with other girls seeing them not dressed.

I know you SHOULD NOT behead them. (someone threatened that to  my friend once. i knew it was a joke, though) You should go up to whoever started the rumor and ask them to kindly stop it. Go to a counselor or psych (whichever applies) and discuss it with them. If it is happening at school or work, they usually have rules about rumors with strict punishment for repeat offenders. Are you sure whoever it was that "started it" meant harm? I was once accused of starting a rumor when I meant no harm at all in the first place by my statement. It was the worst decision that I ever made. I lost one of my best friends and still feel bad about it.

You're a normal person having a messed-up response in a messed-up situation.\n\nI'd sit, relax, breathe. \n\nNow, think of who you've offended. Call them and apologize for the attitude, tell them what's going on, tell them  you're stressed out, ask for their help.\n\nTalk with your sister. If she won't listen, talk with your parents about how to get through to her.\n\nDon't ever talk to that senior again. He's a jerk. Most high schools have policies against sexual harassment. You should report him.

That is a dangerous situation. I think that the school is not handling it seriously enough and I don't think cramming children into one room is going to solve the problem, it is going to make it even more dangerous if something does occur, where is everyone going to go and so on and so forth. \nI think more than just suspension should be taking place. That is like a slap on the hand. I think it should be more like jail time. Look at the two from Columbine, weren't they suspended too? \n\nIf that was my child, I would not be bringing her back to that school, I would definately be looking into home schooling either by me or by a private tutor. \n\nI will be putting my children into home schooling. By the time they are to that school age I am afraid that is what it is going to boil down to.

I have actually been through something very similar to this situation in my High School Days, where I was accused of doing things that I was would never ever do.  It turned most of my friends against me (or people I thought to be my friends).  It also caused a downturn in the relationship with  the girl that I loved, and it made our relationship very rocky at the time.  Her friends were so hell bent on breaking us up on all accounts and after about 3 years of trying they finally suceeded.  Things like this had made me learn a few things....  \n\nIf you have become an outcast in your group, then screw them.  They obviously do not know the real you and that is now their own problem.  Let them get a new friend to replace you.  Eventually if you didn't do anything wrong, people will come around and realize who was really right and who was really wrong.  And after a certain point, it won't matter anymore.  When you are done with the high school years, you will most likely only have 2 or 3 true friends and if they can't stick by your side now, they surely won't be there when you graduate.   The thing is is just to be yourself.  You can be nice, but be firm and don't give in to the first person just because your desperate to get back in the group.  Its not worth the time nor the effort....\n\n~Chris~

I could understand a freshman wanting to go out with a senior, but I do not think it's appropriate.  The difference in age may be only 3 years, but that's a big difference at that age.  And I think the senior should think twice about going out with a freshman, especially if sexual activity is anticipated.  It's like an adult taking advantage of a kid.  Ever hear of statutory rape?

Yes, I've been there. It sucks! But you have to be true to yourself. I let the guy know that I wasn't all about being his P.O.A. I wanted a relationship. I am not the type of girl that you can call whenever you want a booty-call. I told him that. I gave him a few chances to change how he was towards me, and he didn't. I told him I was tired of how he treated me, and I left. You have to be true to you, and don't give in to be with someone. Don't give him the chance to use you for sex. Make him want you before he wants sex. You are young. You will find someone who wants to be with you for you and not for sex. Make the person wait. If he's into you, he'll wanna be with you for you before you sleep with him. As far as the following, and calling thing. Tell him he needs to get over it, and stop his crap. If he doesn't, and it gets to where you are scared (past the point of just plain tired of it) I would look into a restraining order, or talk with a police officer or counselor at school as far as what you should do, but be careful. Dont let something like that go, either. That could get ugly, and scary.

How did you treat your girlfriends last year.  Trust me, if there is one thing we girls like to do, it's talk...  If you were a jerk, word has probably gotten around.  Did you move up to the high school?  You may be dealing with more  competition...older guys with cars.  I know it's frustrating, but you may just have to be friends with the girls for a while to build up your reputation.  If that doesn't work, there's always next year's incoming freshmen.  Good luck.

In my opinion, school is not fair at all.  She let you slide on the first one and you pushed your luck when you wore the second one.  They have a dress code for a reason and you violated it when you wore the skirt.  Your answer back was rude and uncalled for.

Well its nice that you would want people in the class to be friends.  But I don't see that happening because it is in the nature fo highschoolers to be clique-ie and vicious.  You can try to brnach out yourself and just be friends with different kids.  But the problem with that is that the new group you talk to will probably have a pre-disposition about you becuase  of where you are coming from.  They will then be apt to disagree, repel, and attck you.  Kids are animals anyways, just the few sophistacated and reliable kids.  My school tries to get all the kids to be "friends".  They have cheesy programs and 'reach out' activities, but that just makes me see how terrible kids are in the frist place.It is very complicated.  It's highschool and it sucks.

They're porbably afraid of what to say to you.  They probably have never had something like that happen before and so they're scared.  Your true friends hopefully feel safe and not scared to be around you and talk to you.  It just takes some time for them to get used to you.  Have a conversation with them and your guidance counselor.  Basically, all you can do is give it some time.  If you don't feel comfortable, have a conversation with your parents about possiblility of transferring schools.  Good luck, I hope you're doing better.  stick with it, life is very precious and you're special, don't ever forget that.

Why not just be an adult and ask the other set of parents?  Let's try to stop putting children in the middle of our quarrels.  It sounds like there is a bit of a feud going on here, so keep it off of school property.

yea hun i understand your pain.. im a cheerleader to0 but im also number 8 in my class and am very successfull in other sports.  Im not a bitch to you unless your a bitch to me and if your nice to me i'll be nice to you.  Im also not a slut, i dont date from guy to guy, and am a virgin. I dont think it's fair when people say stuff like that but just dust it of, tell them to grow up, and stop carring what others think about you b/c once your out of highschool, you'll probably never see 99% of thoes people again.

I would just mind your own business. Why would you want them both to get kicked out of school??? If it bothers you soooo much, talk to your friend. You're not involved so I woundn't get involved in the issue.
