Well, as all the other people seem to be so supportive, I'd see it's time you get a new point of view. I present my thoughts in this neat bulleted list-
JJE's Neat Bulleted List-
-First, you need to realize you need that everyone has problems. This includes #2.
-The 'preps'. God how I hate cliches. By doing this you show yourself to be steadfast refusing to any thought they may be human. Yes, as a whole the steriotypical 'prep' is a jerk, but so is the steriotypical 'skater'. I'd say your just as bad as the 'preps' in this story. What you did was singular in you viewpoint, as you refused to even think about what they might be thinking, and what they might think about you. They may have problems of their own, that they hide. They do. I guarantee they do. Wether its lack of family or anything else, they really do.
-Get over it. You forgot some homework, then a few people were jerks. Try my life for a day. No friends at all outside my girlfriend. But, I look on the positive side. I have a wonderful family, who I love dearly, and Mandy, who I also quite possibly love more than anyone else. I had thoughts just like yours. I made a hit list once, and made plans to shoot up my school. But, that was a long time ago. Now I've gotten use to my lack of friendship, and am content with what I have. So learn to live with what you have. (Need a few pointers? Your dad, who you really seem to love, and your amazing group of friends)
-In conclusion, you need to think before you act. What you did was stupid, though I suppose you realize this now, and no your administration DID NOT overreact. Stuff like this has to be taken seriously. Theres no other way to take death threats, and yes, this was a death threat.
I hope my view can enlighten you, feel free to contact me if you wish to dispute any of this.

I'm sorry but.. I found this hilarious. Not making fun of you, mind you. But way to blow things out of proportion and treat you like this insane serial killer wannabe. Mh. Dumb ppl you live with (except your friends and father). I'd be your friend, ha.
These things can only happen in the States I suppose..

Good story, ** them dude, ** them all...

Hey There! I know, you can tell I'm perky already..it's a curse, hell it's me! Well damn, that story made me think. I'm not saying I can relate all too much about the getting in trouble thing, 'cause, I tend to side-step that area, unless I'm getting kicked out of class for being a smartass *grins cheekily* heh. Anyways, I know what you meant about, now taht you look at it, it seems really petty. I do the same thing. I'm a bit of a drama queen, and I tend to take things out of proportion. Hey, at least I can admit that. Sad, eh? Yea, I have made a hit list also, except it's in my head, and me and my friend plan to go on that rampage in our mid 20's. I'm insane and perky. Hell of a compination, eh? Well, yea...OH hell, I can relate with your story quite well, except I didn't get caught at school, but by my own parents, I wrote some very HARSH shtuff about them in a notebook, my anger needed release, my mom read it, she cried and now looks at me every now and again as if I'm the most horrid child and my dad well, I'unno, since I wrote worse about him, though I love him more. Ironic, eh? Yea, it suprised me that I didn't cry, instead I argued and told them that they had no right going through my Stuff..Well I know that all this is just mindless rambles, but I just wanted to say, hang in there. High school's tough, and we all make stupid mistakes (believe me). It's life, just keep your goals high, and don't give up. The friends, they come and go...I learned the hard way. Noone can be all popular in the eyes of the so called perfect, but your human, it's expected. Well, I know your thinking, who is this mindless bimbo that is wasting my time with this long ** review full of rambles, well I'm sorry honey, but I had to. It was an unspoken pull for me too. I'm odd, I know, it's me though. And yes, I do do this often, ramble that is, It's just how I am, especially if it's a bit late and I can't sleep. Well, I'll end this now. I hope you will find your life growing better in the near future. Thank you for sharing this, it really put a spin on my demented thoughts. Well, good day, or night, or morning, whichever.
Au revoir,
Sandra

Wow...sorry if that isn't so supporting but i'm not sure what to say.
