Help! Serious Issue...

[skidragoon]

Hey everyone, I really don't know what to do. Today in class (im in gr12) my vice principal came and ask me down to the principals office because they needed to talk to me about something. I got there and they accused me of assisting in drug deals and then the vice principal is like "I know you smoke pot and I understand your young and want too... and i tried to cut him off and defend myself and then he yells and says to let him finish and hes like but police have been watching your car pick up drug dealers in our school and (undercovers) have been following you dropping them off at a house (which is total bs). Then the principal says this has put me on hiatus to return for one semester (i need to get two more university credits) and they claim i may not come back to the school. Now let me say I do not smoke pot, I quit that well over a year ago and last month me and my close friends had a little dinner because of me going clean. So like I worked hard to get back on track, I now average around a 80% and rarely miss classes... All this hard work to get screwed over by this just because some of my friends smoke pot... Also the principal is like if i were you I wouldnt drive to school anymore... WTF?? Anyways guys I was just wondering is this fair what they are doing to me? I know I made mistakes over a year ago and they never caught me or anything back then so why now?

Well, if you don't do drugs, offer the principal that you'll do a drug test, and urine sample. And, if you're as clean as you say you are, then the tests will come back negative, and rub it on the principal's face.

Heck, if he makes you take a semester off and you're wrongly accused you can even sue him, with proof of the clean drug tests.

You know how slow police paper work is especially for low priority cases. Maybe I am just cruel, but "Tough Luck." Hang with the wrong crowd, doing illegal things, what can you do? You made your choice.

Remember that cliche movie saying uhh... "the past will catch up to you", and "you do the deed, prepare to face the consequences"

You can try talking to your councillor if you like, maybe he will have suggestions. Or maybe a lawyer if you have the cash.

I'd contact a lawyer.

Yeah, but the principal has accused HIM of doing drugs, which he denies and says he's clean. A simple drug test, will put that issue to rest. As for him hanging out with the wrong people, well, that's one thing, but that doesn't mean he does drugs.

Good luck man...

Sorry to hear that, but you don't ask this on an Internet forum, talk to your PARENTS!

Double check that he has the right info... maybe the cops gave him a vehicle description and he thought that it was yours but it's not?

Call the school board and file a complaint. Let them know you WILL get a lawyer if you do not get an apologly from the principal.
The principal has no right whatsover to make these types of allegations against you, without your parents being there. This is like cops arresting someone without reading them their miranda rights. Call the cops, and ask if it is true, and what proof they have if any. I bet the principal is on a witch hunt, or simply demented.

Tell your parents. Do not be silent. This is your future you speak of... your reputation.

Congratulations BTW on quiting drugs. Way to go!

Contact the school board, talk to someone who can help you there. If that doesn't work, you could also try your local MLA (or equivalent in Toronto), and there might be other advocacy groups out there that will fight on your behalf. If that doesn't work out, quickly get a lawyer.

Good Luck!

Dude - document EVERYTHING - time, place, what was said, witnesses if any etc. Get your parents involved or if you're not comfortable with them, a family friend, boss or someone, anyone that is old enough to get the attention of the Principal.

Take the drug test - make sure it's done at an accredited place with witnesses.

As far as hanging with your "not yet drug free" buddies - hopefully the second hand pot smoke does not show up in your urine!

Congrats on staying clean - don't let this get you down - you've proven that you can turn things around so stick with it. Get yourself into an environment that is going to help you in the long run - whether you want to continue on in school or work!

Poor guy. What a horrible position to be in. Definitely get your parents involved.

[atforum]

parents are the best place. Tell them and if that princi still talks too much try to offer a drug test or sue him.

btw good job on leaving drugs.
