Okay first, I'm a Senior in High School.

Early January: I was getting out of PE class. There is only 3 guys in my locker room. There me a senior, a Sophomore and a freshman. Me and this freshman were the only ones in there. He told me he could fit in a dryer that is in the locker room. I told him theres no way. Well sure enough he could fit. But I tried to shut the door on him and turn the dryer on. (I never did get the door closed to turn it on) So half way through this the Sophomore comes in and starts trying to help me turn it on. I thought it was going a little over board so I left. And he continued to screw with him. So he eventually gets out of the dryer.

March 1, I get called into the principals office. (Have you ever watched south park with PC principal? Its practically him.) Asks me what I did. He then tells me from what he heard I shove this kid in there. Well we all 3 told him are stories and they matched. So he then cant figure out why this kid would go into this dryer by him self. He then accused me of telling him to do it or else. I told him what ever I will take the punishment.

So I get an In School Suspension (ISS). So did the Sophomore. But this is were I start getting upset. He got one day of ISS and I got two. I asked the principal why I got more, and told me I was the first one in there. So his logic makes no sense to me. I would think the kid that voluntarily got in the dryer him self would also get in some trouble, but no. I asked him if he would shorten my ISS to one day as well. He will not, he thinks as a senior I somehow manipulated him into getting in that drier.

So I want to make my principal even madder. So i figured I would ask some guys on the internet that haven't been to school for 30+ years what they think. So my plan is to go to walmart buy some white shirts and put slogans on them in sharpie. In the front it would say DRYER LIVES MATTER, and on the back it would say NOT MY PRINCIPAL.

Just want your thoughts and opinions even if you do call me a retarded teenager that had it coming.
 
You messed up when you tried to close the door. You should have told him to grow up and get out. The sophomore was just as much to blame. Move on. Take your lumps and learn. Yes I know it's all about fun and games. Sometimes it turns nasty, then what?
 
Welcome to high school, where a bunch of low-paid people take out their frustrations on kids. So stupid that in that situation, you had no recourse. You guys were just messing around and apparently the other dude took it too far after you left. Do you know why there was a two month gap between this happening and you getting called in for it?

If you do the shirt thing, they'll probably make you turn them inside out and give you another slap on the wrist.

Btw, I graduated 8 years ago and don't miss it lol
 
Why compound the stupid? I guarantee there will be worse days in your life. Use this as a lesson, do your two days in suspension, and get on with life, but now a little wiser.
 
Chalk it up to high school tomfoolery. It's only a small fraction of your life and once you graduate who really cares anyways.

My class reunion is coming up. I'm not going since I don't care about seeing other schoolmates (unless they get outside construction jobs.)

No disrespect. But this is the perfect example why teens get in trouble, get seriously injured or die. This is something maybe a 14 year old or younger might do. In no way should an 18 year old be a part of it. We all grow up sooner or later I hope you take this to heart and cross over from childhood to manhood. Good luck

Well, you're at a crossroads here. Do you take your punishment like an adult and move on a little wiser if not a little more jaded about the world or do you try to be some sort of rebel without a cause and dig your hole deeper. Adulting can be hard.
 
You may want to look into your school's appeal process for the suspension and look into administrative remedies available to you. The school should have a rulebook which is readily available to you for the asking at the main office.
 
My kid and tried to pull that I'd say you got off easy if took it farther they know they find themselves in the dryer and they know it.
 
Many principals are authority freaks who dislike or even hate kids. I dealt with these special snowflakes in school. I think they got into education for the good pay and summers off.

Now for my best advice!

Shut up. Do the suspension. Do not screw with the Principal with tshirts or other games. Keep your nose clean and concentrate on graduating and then living an awesome life.

The moment you graduate, you will leave Mr. RESPECT MY AUTHORI TIE behind. You have the potential to kick butt and do awesome things. The principle/warden will be stuck in the same old job and go home to his probably frigid wife.

The best revenge is living well in spite of those who would drag you down.

There is your mistake right there.

Never admit to something you didn't do.

Yea blame the principal for the idiot behavior. He probably should have gotten a trophy and a pat on the back and you wonder why these kids are F up now days
 
If you were my kid (I have daughter that's a senior in HS). I would tell you.....Your there to LEARN, NOT to [censored] around!!

Suck it up buttercup.....Life is NOT fair, You tried to shut the door of the dryer & was going to turn it on?? Maybe you need a trip to county lock-up & charged with assault, But of course..... Your butt-hurt about whatever punishment your principal handed out. It's not wise to pull any more dumb $hit than you already have.

I have a feeling those 3 cars in your signature are NOT yours?

Yeah, that poor principal he's really stuck, with the six figure salary, summers off, and a very comfortable pension waiting for him in retirement.

Meanwhile, this poor kid now has this incident on his disciplinary record.
 
Have you considered what would have happened had you got the dryer started ?
Even if it was the kid who got in the dryers idea, you don't need to help a dummy get hurt.

Take your punishment, you learned a lesson, and no one got injured. Maybe the dryer kid learned something too (I hope).

If 40 year old men were doing this, they'd probably be looking at jail/probation.

I think the Sunfire is his car to drive:

The only reason I ran this oil filter was because it was on sale, I won't run it again. It was a good filter but I don't think its worth the extra $$$.


Also from another post her works at Walmart.

+1,000,000. This is part of growing up. Learn from it and mature as a man. Be glad you didn't get in trouble with the law and this is just school.
