Please read my story; and let me know if you think it's unfair as well.?
I was recently involved in a verbal confrontation at school with a girl a year younger than myself. During the time in which we were yelling at each other, a boy (my ex boyfriend) a year older than me stepped in between us and grabbed me by the shoulders and shook me. I told him to "move" and he refused, and reached out and pushed me. As he pushed me, I swung and hit the girl across the face. Of course, the girl started to cry and went straight to the principal's office. I was called in and told that I would be suspended for 3 days and we would have a DAEP (Disciplanary Alternative Educational Program) hearing on the day I got back to decide if I would go there or not. When we had the meeting, I was told I would have 90 days but him being "a nice person" cut it to 30. Anyways, I also got charged with Battery ault and had to appear in court, I recieved a 264 dollar fine, and 32 hours of Community Service. I don't agree with my punishment because 2 weeks before I hit the girl, another girl had hit her too, and that girl only recieved 3 days of ISS (In School Suspension) and she had chrages filed as well and recieved ONLY 8 hours of community servide. It's not like I'm a troublesome student either, I have good grades, I'm always a happy person, I've never had a violent background, and I'm graduating a year early. The only reason I had ever been called into the office before this reason was because of tardies and skippinf twice, but what teenager doesn't do that? Anyways, I feel that I did deserve to be punished because what I did was wrong, but being charged with "ault" and recieving a record and being put in a place (DAEP) where I have to wear a jumpsuit everyday like I'm in prison, Does that sound fair to you? Oh, and the boy who AULTED me, got nothing. The school refused to punish him and told me I could file charges at the Police Department, so I did and it was the school's peace officer who met with me, and told me that no one in the PD would listen to my story or take the charges I wished to file so my mom said we'd take it to a higher authority and he threatened us by saying, "You better be careful, very careful if you peruse this.. I'm just saying." I feel that all of this is wrong, and we have taken it before the school board and they sided with the school, and were in the process of filing with TEA. Anyways, I just want to know others opinions on it. Please and Thank You :)
