Cant run for office
I was going to run for student counsel. Everyone was excited and the president encoruaged me. So I did and I found out I didnt sign up. EVEN THOUGH I DID ALOT OF WORK AND GOT OVER 100 SIGNATURES. The advisor was like "Talk to the president we are going to have an open space." So I did. She didnt even want to talk to me and told me "Sorry, Kelsey already asked me so yea."
I was really upset and my mom called the advisor and she told my mom that rules are rules. Then my mom asked her "why does someone get appointed when they dont get signatures, thats not following the rules" and the advisor advoided the question. I talked to several relatives and they said that its unfair and that the advisor needs to be more in charge.
I understand why she would appoint her friend BUT I DID ALL THAT WORK FOR NOTHING! I actually felt good about myself and some people will be like "I told you were a loser...you couldnt get enough signatures!" (she also asked me why i was wearing Hollister, cuz losers shouldnt wear hco a few yrs. back.)
Theres nothing I can do, Im just really upset.

Maybe give some free advice about: Work/School Relationships?
There is EVERYTHING you can do. You have over 100 supporters and this other girl didn't. Have those people continue to back you and go with your parents to the principal of the school and outline to him or her the actual rues and how this girl was apointed because so and so was friends with her and did not do any of the required work to be eligible.
The principal should see your list of signatures and take care of the situation. If he doesn't have those 100 students plus their families rraise a hell of a stink at a PTA meeting as they are supposed to be teaching you about a fair democracy. Let that advisor know through this action that bending the rules is not appropriate.
If this doesn't work write an editorial about your highschool's student council and the teachers, advisors not doing what they are supposed to and appointing someone who is not truly eligible to a position. Keep it at 200 words or less and it ought to get into the municipal paper that comes to houses in your community with fliers.
Don't give up as you are in the right and the amount of pressure you keep applying will get people to re-examine their choices and behavior. Prepare to make a few enemies doing this but you'll be okay.
You just have to keep bringing up your record vs hers. Also, if this is how your school runs student council think long and hard if you really want to be part of such a corrupt bunch of people including the teacher who picks favorites. You might be meant to do something much better in that school or outside of it apart from student council.
Trust me, if this girl stinks at what she is doing or will be they'll soon turf her. Justice always has a way of dealing with these things and we don't necessairly have to lift a finger. But you should raise a little hell as the song says about this.

Well, I don't really see what your question is but I suggest you go to the principal. If he or she says talk to *blah blah blah* and you already have and say I did but she didn't help or really answer my question. Remember be polite. If you are you have a better chance of getting your question answered and she will take you more seriously.
