heres my problem:
My boyfriend got expelled from my school today for a little fighting he didn't touch anyone but was involved and is an inter district transfer so immediately got expelled with no turning back. Well he could appeal it but his parents don't want to. He lives about twenty minutes from me and will be going to school somewhere up in his area. School gets out in 20 days so I don't think it's going to be too much trouble. I still can't imagine school without him because me and him are inseperable at school we are together 24/7 and I love him to death. I cant help but cry a lot because this is not how I imagined my end of my Sophomore year. (hes a junior). Anyway I guess I just need some help as far as ideas on how to keep the relationship going well even with the distance, how I should do to cope, and things I can do to make sure he cares for me and keeps showing he cares. ANYTHING you think would help would be great!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!<33333

This will be on his permanent record when in fact he is innocent and will affect his ability to get into the college or university of choice later on. You should tell him what I said above and or have your parents talk to his parents about it.
They may not want to drag him through an appeal but it's absolutely foolish not to do so as people in the education system thinking he did this and was expelled will forever hold it against him and his hand will be tied behind his back in college/university interviews because of it.
If he doesn't win the appeal (which he should if he can find witnesses) I would think ther would be a way (I've seen it happen so I know it's so) you can take it to the schoolboard and then a higher court if these people are judging unfairly against a kid who everyone knows did nothing.
Don't accept a suspension or for that matter even worse being exspelled for something you didn't do without fighting and having your case heard.
What should you do? Be supportive and keep on loving him as if nothing happened. Let the adults handle this and resolve it. Even if you don't end up in the same school you live 20 minutes away so nothing will really change there.
It would be great if the situation was resolved so he could still attend your school but even if it was would he feel totally welcome there agian and would both of you feel comfortable? He has to fight back (no pun intended) with the school on this.
Don't worry here and both of you should go about life as normal as possible. The adults in your life will fix this situation if they can or find a solution that is right for your boyfriend regarding school.
