I wrote a question yesterday about being accused of something i didn't do.. Hope you guys remember that... Anyways, the principal just told me that I am suspended from the bus for 2 weeks and I have to clean all the stupid busses on Monday. I think that that is child abuse. He blamed me for something I didn't do. I only ripped a tiny bit of the window film.. Thats an unreasonable reason to suspend me. This other guy cut the seatbelts, ripped the air freshener and he's going to do the same thing as me. 2 weeks of suspension and community service.
He also called my parents about it. I'm already through with my mom, but now comes the hard part. My dad. I really don't know what to tell him..
What should I say to my dad and tell the principle it's a stupid reason to suspend me??

The reason you both got it, is because he couldn't really give one of you less punishment when you were both doing stuff. I do NOT think you should tell the principle, and I think you should apologize to your dad and make sure you learn something from this. You need to take responsibility for your actions.

I believe you said yesterday that you HAD done stuff similar to what you say this guy's done before. Did you get punished for that? If not, maybe your principal is finally getting you for your past crimes.
Get your act together and stop vandalizing your school's equipment. It'll save you a whole lot of trouble and time if you'll just stop it all together right now.
Tell your dad what you did--no need to lie to him about it.
And ask your principal for a lighter sentence--maybe just clean all of the buses without any out-of-school suspension. Be calm and reasonable when you ask. Maybe he'll lighten up and cut your time.
Remember--you're going to be associated with the people you hang around. Don't hang around people that might get you in trouble.

Just try and talk to him. Just try and try harder to make him believe you . [ Courtney's advice column | Ask Courtney A Question ]
