Resolved Question

if you fell out with this girl at your high school, so she goes off talking behind your back telling everyone that you have a disabled sister except she uses the word retarded, which you hate, so you confront her and she admits it laughing saying am i wrong, and she goes gone to say that anytime a 15 yo can't read and you have to watch her i will called that retarded, so you end throwing your book bag in her face, and you get suspended, and your parents punish you even more

Did the other girl get punished? She should have been punished too (although, being THAT ignorant is punishment in itself - she'll get hers someday - like when she says something that narrow-minded and bigoted to the wrong person! hee hee!). I think the way she talked was either harassment or bullying or both or discrimination or something!! As a teacher in the public school system, I would have had some not so friendly words for her myself - AND if I thought her parents would be upset about it (which may or may not be the case - hate to say it, but she might have learned this attitude from her parents), I would be having a nice long "chat" with them too...

My only advice is next time - don't stoop to her level or anyone else's - only because YOU are getting affected in a negative manner and it is not helping you or your sister in anyway...

BUT good for you for taking up for your sister! I wish your parents could see that - physical violence is not tolerated in schools at all so you have to figure out a more constructive solution in the future - I would hate to see you have to live with anymore negative consequences!
