Our World Today.

May 14, 2007, 09:42:23 PM

so i had 7.5 days of school left as of today, well i got pulled out of my 1st hour an into the senior office(im a junior?!?!). long story short i wrote a paper for my English class about how certain rules are overlooked for some kids but not for others. This kid wants to make a point of this and does little thing to repeat what was done to him. then he trys to kill me, we fight, both arrested, im released on self-defence. he goes to jail, then dies from an artery rupturing in his skull. SO, now they thing im a threat to school. Cool i understand but i asked when i turned it in if i needed to write a paper to say how this was a FICTIONAL story as the assignment said it was to be. My teacher said no. well now i have 10 days and a hearing, they want me to go see their shrink. The story said how the administators were not doing their job on looking for things that happen everyday that are threats, guess i was wrong. to top it off i got a 96% on the paper so i would say it was a good paper. Oh and this is my 1000th post, .

That is just plan stupid. IT'S A STORY! Creative writing is being killed by the people who are trying to save it.

BTW, you seemed all there when I met you.:D

I think the problem is that there is now a "No Tolerance" policy in just about every school. They look at the context of the story and see what can be perceived as a threat to the school.
After all of the school shootings in the past few years, they pretty much have to follow up on anything that looks like a threat.
They look at it as, You "say" it was fiction, how can they be sure?
There have been other kids who wrote supposed fiction then turned around and killed people in a similar way as described in their story.
They can't take those kind of chances any more.

Did you use the name of a kid that goes to your school? If so, that is probably why they saw it as more of a threat than a story.

Sorry this happened to you man, but the way things are now, they have to be very careful.

With the way you write...how did you get a 96% on a paper?

Stop playing "poor pitiful me". Think about it from their point of view. They HAVE to be serious about this stuff, and you should know better. If you were my kid you wouldn't be writing a paper like that to turn in for a school project that's for sure. All of those of you who think this is "ok" , or the facilty/administrators are over-reacting are obviously younger.

I used to draw army tanks and fighter jets and such things back in middle school. They made me stop and called my mom and told her that its possible I could be a dangerous person. This was like 8 years ago.

We used to draw war scenes in Junior High. People shooting each other a bombs and planes. There was a bunch of us who would do that during Study Hall. Never once got questioned about it. I always go in trouble for wierd stuff. Like downloading music. Never got caught skipping either.
