The new kid

I'm putting this here, cause i dont think it fits anywhere else, correct me if im wrong though. Anyway, heres the real problem: There's this new kid at school, i dont really like him that much, but i dont really hate him enough to have the motives to always get him in trouble.

At my school, all students are assumed to have read the rulebook, cuase you have to sign a form stating you did before you go into any classes. So, even if you didn't read it, the school is supposed to enforce all rules, especially the cell phone one. This is where they fucked up, badly. The new kid (We'll call him Jon) decides to take his cell phone out in class, which i did once, and the school did what it was supposed to and took my phone, but when Jon took his out, my friend (Steven) saw this and tries to alert one of the teachers to it, cause Jon should know better.

The teacher then tells him effectivley tells him (cuase im still trying to get the original quote, and im really working on getting the truth here) that thats not right, because that might make Jon feel like an outsider, and the teacher really doesnt like Steven's attitude. So you know what im talking about, Steven is a really nice guy, he's big, as in tall and strong, but hes lazy enough that he doesn't want to beat anyone up, he's smarter than that anyway. Which sounds like the teacher doesnt want him to be nice and easy going. And for whatever reason, my parents are convinced that I can't sue a christian school. thats not the point though. The point is: Why the fuck should this new kid be treated as if he's above the rules? Thats not gonna make him feel any less than an outsider, even if it does, its gonna make him feel like hes better, the school is effectivley making him isolate himself.
And why do me and my friends get in trouble for being us, and for trying to help the teachers keep order? Why do we get fucked up the ass for what others knowingly do wrong, we get called down for not telling teachers whats going wrong, we get in trouble for telling teachers whats going wrong, we get in trouble for not acting, we get in trouble for fucking existing, why the hell is everyone I talk to for legal advice, right down to my family's lawyer, think that its really fucking hard to sue a chistian school, hard enough that its not worth it?


Reminder: Please remember to use some kind of paragraphs.. so people don't have to read one big block of writing. It hurts on the eyes. ~Meh
 
What's the point of being an ass and ratting out the new kid? It's hard enough going to a new school with hundreds of people you don't know. I'm sure in a couple months if he pulls out his cell and calls out for a pizza he's going to have to follow the same rules as everyone else.

Give the god damn kid a break.
 
and what makes you think I actually care about shit like that, if i can get in trouble for that shit, so can he. keep this shit even, everyones equal bitches! well except me, I'm lower than that apparently. o well, im still pissed
 
problem with that is, hes got everyone else head up his ass, if you thik im jelous, go ahead, i really dont care, but they talk about making him feel like an outsider yet making him feel above the rules is gonna be any better if they make him follow them next year.
 
You really do just sound like a jealous punk and are whining online trying to gain sympathy from the wrong group of people.

Boo hoo - I got my cell phone taken away but not the new kid *tear*.

I hate to say it but life is unfair. It's true that he probably shouldn't be bringing his phone to school but then does that make it right that your friend is acting like a 5 year old tattle tale? Life isn't that cut and dry no matter how much it should be.

Serioulsy cut people some slack. How would you feel going to a new school and the first few weeks everyone was telling on everything you did, or making fun of you even god forbid make friends with you. You know the other guys at school would hate that the new guy made a friend. :rolleyes:
 
Give the new kid a break, it's not like anybody actually bothers to read things they sign when it's referring to school. The kid would be even more embarrassed if he got into trouble when he's just started at a new school. I don't get why you can dislike the guy already, but I don't know him or you so that's your choice to make.
 
Tattling on the new kid isn't what disturbs me in this thread. What disturbs me is that you are looking for LEGAL ADVICE, and want to SUE YOUR SCHOOL because they wont scold a kid for taking out his cell phone. Holy fucking shit. For the sake of "no flaming outside of B+T", I'm not gonna say what I really think, so I guess I'll just have to leave it at this:

DON'T SUE A FUCKING SCHOOL OVER THIS. :rolleyes:
 
That is no fiar at all but im sure the teachers were just giviing him some slack cause he new. But in the future he should not get away with that shit. But dont be a rat
 
OK, here's equal. Let's send you to a new school where you don't no a soul and have to deal with all the BS involved trying to make friends at the worst damned age possible. Then let's have some asshat kid raise his hand like a little grade school brown-noser and tell on you for some rule you didn't know about because you missed reading it because, hey, you're a teenager and human and don't read every fucking rule in a stupid handbook.

While we're at it why don't we have some other student try to make a fucking legal case out of it because he got disciplined for doing the same thing even though he already knew the rules because of being at the school for a while and seeing others being punished for it.

By the way, you have no case whatsoever. The world is not black and white and tolerance is necessary in some cases. Really, some day you are going to break some more important rule for whatever reason but because it's a first offense somebody will let it slide. This happens in careers, organizations, the judicial system etc... Just remember this incident when that happens and be grateful that not everyone is a friggin anal-retentive Nazi about every piss-ant rule. :rolleyes:
 
Since you're going to a Christian school, do I assume you're trying to behave according to Christian principles? In which case:








If the new boy is doing something against the rules, then your obligation is to gently remind him of them so that he remembers not to do it again - and not to go tattling to the teacher in an attempt to get him punished.
