Here's the story. Keep in mind that I realize what I did was stupid, I'm just looking for advice/opinions. This is not a claim, because if it were, it'd be damn pathetic.

>Got mad at my crazy physics teacher for reasons unrelated
>Decided to pull a prank on her
>Put Alka-Seltzer in her gallon jug of water
>She tastes it with hilarious results
>Thinks her students are trying to poison her, gets an administrator and cops
>Cries and becomes extremely upset
>Cop threatens with Criminal Tampering unless someone fesses up, says he'll question everyone for hours and do investigation
>I own up to it to save my friends from being interrogated for no reason
>Be extremely cooperative with he principal/cop. They actually liked me and chatted with me about stuff. Said they'd work in my favor.
>3 day suspension

At this point I'm like, whatever I guess I got caught so I get what I deserve, it isn't that bad even though it's my first time ever getting in trouble at school.

Then I get home.

>Parents take it extremely seriously, like it's WWIII up in here and I don;t know why they took it even more seriously than the cop did.

I understand that Alka is techinically a "drug", but if anything I kept the fat bitch from having indigestion from all that cheese she eats while she's busy not teaching.

I was explained all the legal shit and she can press charges, even though I'm sure she wont. The only thing I'm upset about is that I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be kicked out of National Honor Society.

What I don't understand is why she took it seriously enough to cry endlessly and refuse to even talk to me or meet with me, and why the hell my parents just don't see this as a stupid prank. Everyone I've talked to that isn't directly involved in the situation thinks it's crazy, like dude it's just a prank. I fucked up, but in 20 years this shit won't even matter.  It's fucking high school, man.

One time he was looking for a powerpoint on his computer which was hooked to the projector. It had a file called Kittys.mov. All the girls in the class begged him to play it and we watched his cats chase a laser pointer for 5-10 minutes.

this big time. heres a sorta unrelated story but whatever, and it happened a few months ago, and im in 8th grade.
first, a friend gets busted with pot in school, funny stuff.and a few kids get suspended for gun 'threats' but were just jokes, but i understand why they were suspended
second, a week or two later, i hear we're having an assembly with cops, didnt know why, figured for above reasons.
third, cops tell us how bad bullying is, even tho is doesnt happen in our district. they then go on to tell us how if somebody his us, we should NOT, repeat NOT fight back, and that we should run away. i was so angry the whole time. if somebody hits me, im going to hit them back. for the whole hour they basically told us not to ever fight back or defend yourself, just 'report it' to the all powerful 8th grade teachers.

really. stuffs pretty mellow. like nothing ever gets physical. i know it can be more than physical, but its not like everybody gangs up on a small group. and the 'nerds' arent constantly picked on. i have it pretty good. but what i was trying to get at was there were bigger things the cops could have discussed, not bullying, since its not a problem in our distict, considering theres middle schoolers getting busted with pot and being suspended for gun threats, but like i said they were more of jokes over threats

It seems like you have it all under control, but I thought I'd express my dislike for teachers that act in a far less mature manner than their students. In this situation, even though you 'acted out', I think that you're probably the more respectable person. You took a hit so your classmates wouldn't be hassled, apologized, no one was hurt except you and it doesn't seem like there are any hard feelings. That's my two cents, I'm just sick of irrational teachers that act like children.

this.this.this

Zimmerman; from the OP i figured you were handling the situation fairly but then i read on.. jesus fucking christ your a fucking moron.

its also obvious that everyone commenting on this against the teacher is still in school or just really fucking ignorant... I would explain my point but it would take too long and knowing the kids on NS no one will read it properly and understand the point. Life is stressfull. Dont try to make her forgive you, let her forgive you, even if she doesn't.

A dam can be destroyed by a bomb, it can also be destroyed by a pick axe over thousands of years.. see if you can figure that one out...

I just read the post that you quoted, and I get what you're saying. Seeing as how I don't know the teacher, it's hard to gauge whether she broke down because she got to a breaking point or because she was acting childish. There are definitely both kinds of situations, and many more than two for that matter, but just from reading the OP's post I deduced that she was acting childish.
