My principal and assistant principal are awful to me!
My principal and assistant principal mistreat me and disrespect me. In fact, my mom is frustrated with them as well.
Here's why:
- A few months ago, they tried to get me stuck in a mental hospital, and they had no reason to do so.
- My parents, the psychiatrist, and therapist do not want me on medication. However, the principal has been trying to force me into taking it.
- I am also bisexual, and I feel that they mistreat me because of it.
- They accuse me of being a liar. For example, when I told the principal that I stopped cutting myself (and I was being honest!), she said, "Why should I believe you?" The nerve! And the assistant principal told me to not say things that aren't true and not lie -- even though all I've done is be honest about what I think.
- They act phony and insincere around me -- like they pretend to care but obviously don't. It's annoying.
I can't stand this anymore!

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
School administrators can be a royal pain in the butt. They base their thoughts on students based on what the teachers tell them and what their psychologist tell them. Teachers want students medicated for they feel students who may be disruptive or hurting themselves are easier to handle if they are medicated out of their skulls.
I had the same problem with my son and the local school system. They tagged him with a label and that was that. Turned out the label was wrong and he was just plain bored in the classes they assigned him to. Once we got him faster more interesting classes he did better and wasn't disruptive.
The problem is you are one of several hundred student they have to deal with each day. Expediency says they follow the advice of their experts. That is not only wrong it is also against the law for them to force any medication on you without parental consent.
What we had to do and what mom may have to do is get a lawyer involved. The lawyer first meets with your school principal. When a lawyer enters the picture in most cases the principals will back down. While they have funds to fight legal battles those funds are limited and they have to pick and chose their battles carefully.
The first visit with a lawyer is usually free. Let the lawyer tell you how they wish to proceed. The lawyer may wish to go right to the Superintendent of schools and file an action against the Principal and the assistant or talk with them first.
In any case based on my own experience with my son and his school I believe it is time for mom to seek the aid of a lawyer.

You can report them to your local school department. I was having trouble with teachers/staff not trusting me and being rude and disrespectful so I went to an online school, and it was the best decision I have ever made! My school is powered by k12 and they have virtual schools in almost every state. I don't know what your circumstances are with being home and online everyday but because this is all frustrating I'd definitely look into it! If you need additional information you can always inbox me. I hope your problems with your principal and vice principal gets resolved!
Best of Luck,

Your mother would need to report this to the School department of your local town. Every peraon has a boss and this issue needs ro be addressed as it is a form of harassment and bullying.
Another option is while your mother handles this issue, She could consider transferring you to another school. Either way, This behavior needs to be reported.

Depending on where you live, like the bible belt area, anything other than what Christians teach is normal like one man and one woman--married--missionary position, is in their eyes often wrong and they will treat people differently. Although its possible, you have no real proof that would stand in court to file a harassment claim.
Since Mom and therapists have no problem with how you are doing currently, it would seem the easiest way to change the situation quickly is to simply switch schools if that is possible. You would have to look at the pros and cons of such a decision. You would miss your friends, have to make new ones but a plus would be no stress from vice principal and principal which could stress you to the point of going back to cutting.
I think a big thing with you is irritation that they believe you are lying. They don't really know you like your mom or best friends so. So they really don't know when you are telling the truth. Yeah, some people are ignorant and have no compassion for young people and shouldn't be teachers or principals anyways. Later, you'll discover that many jobs have managers that don't know how to manage. It's the way it is. Don't let it get to you. Perhaps they need to see a longer track record of you doing better before they will believe. Thats their problem. All you have control over is how you react to it. I am glad to hear you have stopped cutting. I have known many women who are bisexual and are married and husbands are perfectly fine with them being attracted to and sexual with other women. Perfectly normal happy people. Lots of teens let alone adults may not understand your bi-sexuality and what they don't know and understand or is different from them, they fear and shun. You are a strong young woman and I know you can rise above any teasing or shunning you get. Do not change who you are to fit in or please others. Be true to yourself. Be strong. And be better than them.
