If you go to a public school, I highly recommend you tell your parents and take this to court. Suspending you for kissing a boy outside of school grounds is illegal. If it was a public school that did this and you take this court, chances are you will win, the teacher who suspended you will get fired, and you'll get some money from the lawsuit.

If this doesn't work call the editor of your local paper and tell them your story or write a letter to the editor. I've seen this done and have used this method before.
The school doesn't want the local paper focusing in on them because a teacher got a kid suspended for kissing. It's no big deal.
Think of like this when protesters get arrested for demonstrating for what they believe in they can get brought up on all kinds of charges but rally didn't do anything criminal. While a different situation it's the same kind of deal.
It's a dumb reason for a suspension and anyone who sees it on your student records will laugh at a teacher or principal that was loopy enough to give it to you.
Have you parents challenge the school on this along with your boyfriend and his parents and have them threaten to go to your local paper with this strange story about how you got suspended. That will change the tide believe me as I've had to do the same thing.
Defend yourself vigorously here as you are guilty of nothing and they over-reacted. Your fellow pupils and parents with kids in the same school need to see you fight over this because the PTA can put a ton of pressure on the school as can the schoolboard to reverse this if a ton of pressure is put on them.
There's a lot you can do. You did nothing wrong even if it was on school property unless you had guidlines or rules on paper informing you of some kind of bylaw there's no excuse except for a teacher who was seriously power tripping for a suspension.

Anyways, there's nothing you can really do. It's the school's rules & you've gotta follow them, no matter how dumb & unfair they may be. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]
