Hey Everyone :) I'm Kate and a level 2 mod on here. I've had this account since July 2004, so I've been on here since I was 13! Wow ... crazy for me to think how long ago that was. I will admit I don't check in as often as I once did, but being away at college, being in a sorority, and having a job when I'm not at school is very time consuming. I still try to help out as much as possible, and if you send me a question I WILL answer it. This site helped me a LOT when I was in high school and had a lot of questions, and I'm here to help anyone who needs it :) Feel free to write in my forum or send me a question any time!

ok so i had tylenol on the schoolbus; i meant to take them in the kitchen but the bus came early. so i took them on the bus, & when my best friend got on, she was crying her back hurt so bad (she fell down the stairs the night before.) and i have to go to the schoolboard tomorrow morning, but at the school, they searched me and put me through total humiliation in front of the whole school with a drug search. (over tylenol. how gay :p) but my mom & i are pretty sure they didnt allow me some of my civil rights as a juvenile. (im 16) can anyone giveme any good virginia juvenile civil rights pages for mobile web? i cant get access to internet. so yea. any and all would be appriciated, as this is happening tomorrow at 9am. thanks!!
EDIT:
As a student who has taken multiple government classes and has spoken to many police officers about this very topic I have learned that your school has every right to search you any time they see fit. If you smell like smoke that can show that maybe you have some sort of smoking parapharnalia on school campus giving them the right to search you because having any type of tobacco products on a school campus, no matter whether or not it's school hours, is a crime. What you did was wrong, you asked if you have a case and the answer is no. Just because you were told what you didn't want to hear doesn't mean that it's not the truth. Don't ask a question if you don't want a truthful answer.
END EDITING.
Unfortunately for you, the school had every right to search you. If they feel that they have any reason whatsoever to search a student then they have every right.
If your mother smoked and she drove you to school and a teacher smelt the smoke from your mom's car, well, they can now search you because they have reason to believe you were smoking.
So, and I know this sucks for you, but the school was within their rights to search you.
I understand that you weren't plannon on taking the medicine at school and that you were not planning on distributing it to a friend, but both are against the rules and you should have known that. I don't know how you were caught, but if you're going to break such a serious rule then you should be much more careful.
(Rating: 4) i didnt ask for a speech, ive already got that from everyone else. i asked for help. but thanks anyways i guess. oh though, btw, my principal asked me if i smoked bc he smelled it & i said yes, he just smiled at me. they cant do jack if you smoke outside of school.
