I am a straight A student, but my principle ruined that. I’m a freshmen in high school and I was framed by a group of drama kids in high school of doing things I didn’t do such as sexually harassing someone. After I proved my innocence the school refused to take any action and the drama teacher kicked me out of the school’s musical. After my parents went to the principle with the issue she refused to take action and the things I was framed for led me to be bullied an example of which all of my school books were stolen right before finals. My parents went to the superintendent with the issue and that the principle didn’t do anything and the principle got mad and went into my grades and lowered them manually changing My A’s into B’s just because. A few of my teachers thought something weird happened and fixed my grades back to A’s, but other ones don’t realize what happened and won’t listen. The superintendent didn’t do anything either and principle got away with changing my grades. I have proof, but it’s impossible to sue the public school system with the resources they have. Eventually the bullying got so bad (assault) I was forced to leave school and now I’m homeschooling myselfI. f I explained these grades to a university would they understand? What do I do?
Firstly, principal, not principle.
Secondly, what provoked those drama kids into framing you? Were you at the wrong place at the wrong time, or were you targeted specifically? What is the story those drama kids would say?
Thirdly, if all this isn’t exaggerated one bit, then go to the school board, and ask for a meeting. Make yourself look and feel important in front of the board. The board will be more motivated to do something if you are very persistent and don’t victimize yourself. Take this proof (make it look all nice and organized in folders and everything; impressions are key) to the board and talk to them. You don’t want to be too intrusive and obnoxious, but make your point clear. Let them know that you are not going to let this go until this has been investigated. Looking like a victim and being all frail and teary in front of them will just make them raise their eyebrows and be reluctant to take this case up. If none of this pans out, after a few weeks of trying (so that this news doesn’t become stale and old, but enough to show persistence) contact your state’s Department of Education and demand that they do something. Tell them everything and imply that perhaps they don’t care about students’ education. However, before you do this, MAKE SURE NONE OF THE EVIDENCE IS AGAINST YOU. At a school level, everything is fine. When a state begins to investigate something, and they find that you are lying, or they can turn the case against you, it will not be good for colleges. Explain that you are new to high school (perhaps have friends provide character evidence that you are a nice, hard-working boy who would never do something like that, like you’re shy, or you have very high morals and won’t even copy homework or something). If you curse in front of others, copy homework, cheat on tests, talk back to teachers, no one has any character evidence saying that you wouldn’t do anything bad. Perhaps talk to those teachers who changed your grades back, and implore (not literally, no one likes a sycophant) them that they talk to the principal or something.
Finally, don’t let this experience hold you back! Grow from it. Learn from it, and don’t victimize yourself at all. These things happen, unfortunately. You have a long time to go before university, so make sure that you won’t be that doormat who lets everyone walk over them. Grow a backbone, and show them that you will not tolerate being bullied.
Are the kids who bully you the typical bullies (tall, white, football-y, popular), or how are they? How do they look? How do they behave? And how do you appear to them? Are you hunched over when you talk to them, are you naturally short, are you a girl (unfortunately girls are bullied more), etc.?
I’m a freshie too, and I know how challenging high school can be socially. If you need anything, feel free to message me here on CC.
Good luck.
