<p>Just got a call from the vice principal at my high school. I got 2 in-school suspensions for bullying. I also got accepted to a top engineering school. </p>
<p>Do you think I will get rescinded? It wasn't exactly bullying but in the school's eyes it was. I just kept on bothering this kid for a period of time, nothing physical mostly verbal. </p>
<p>If they ask me to explain it, what should I say?</p>
<p>First, go apologize to whoever you were bullying. Second, if it shows up in your final transcript, email your college and explain the situation.</p>
<p>Well, you deserve it.</p>
<p>what did you do broski?</p>
<p>Shame on you.
You should worry about the person you hurt through bullying, not if your college choice will rescind your application. </p>
<p>However, If you did nothing then fight for your rights and explain the issue to your college choice.</p>
<p>hmmm, how many college confidential people have you seen?</p>
<p>As far as I know, half of them are not “typically small, weak, pale nerdy kids who get bullied everyday”.</p>
<p>We are people who know right from wrong.</p>
<p>It’s completely impossible to judge right or wrong in this situation based on the OP.</p>
<p>
Probably not, unless you’re misrepresenting it. Though the UCs love to rescind people, so if it’s one of them, then the chances are higher.</p>
<p>
Technically verbal harassment is still bullying, albeit less violent.</p>
<p>
Something along the lines of being very sorry and learning your lesson. Making excuses won’t help.</p>
<p>
This is a completely fabricated opinion. Quite a number here are athletes and/or non-“pale” (not that being pale necessitates bullying). Personally, I have never been bullied. However, I have seen it happen to others and had to intervene, so I do not have a high opinion of those who prey on the weak or outcasts to feel better about themselves.</p>
<p>regarding:"It wasn’t exactly bullying but in the school’s eyes it was. I just kept on bothering this kid for a period of time, nothing physical mostly verbal. "</p>
<p>If they see that you don’t take this issue seriously , they should rescind you.</p>
<p>Think about the victim you abused. Change now , don’t be a loser all your life.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This reminds me of the pre-trial argument for the past year’s CA mock trial case. OP, you engaged in a course of conduct designed to harass/threaten/intimidate a student with no legitimate purpose, and it obviously caused substantial emotional distress and/or a substantial interference with the kid’s education. And based on the fictional CA statue (Penal Code section 626.3), that’s bullying.</p>
<p>But in the real world, that’s still bullying, even if you didn’t touch the kid.</p>
<p>OP and curvedestroyer should get together. Ass’s tend to attract.</p>
<p>“I just kept on bothering this kid for a period of time, nothing physical mostly verbal.”</p>
<p>WAY too vague. You definitely said more than “kept on bothering this kid”…</p>
<p>Things we don’t know -</p>
<p>Was “the kid” a boy or a girl? was this someone you’ve known for awhile or just met? Were there witnesses? Was the “bothering” of a sexual nature or a religious nature or based on academics, sports or the like? what does “nothing physical mostly verbal” mean? Did you poke or prod the kid or what? Two days suspension seems pretty serious for just teasing - do you have a history of bullying?</p>
<p>I don’t know if they’d rescind you but you might to work on your socialization skills.</p>
<p>If this kid reported you and turned you in to the administration, you’ve already gone too far OP. Sorry. In high school, people aren’t usually rats unless really provoked.</p>
<p>In CC fashion… what school are you going to?</p>
<p>I don’t even know why you would post this here in the first place. Not only are you engaging in inappropriate activities and trying to get away with them, but you are consulting a forum notorious for its condemnation of unmentionable activities. My advice–hope for the best, but don’t hope for much–your behavior warrants not only for all your admissions into schools to be rescinded from all the schools you applied to, but also for you to be put into the harshest of penitentiaries–there is no place in society for bullying, vulgarity, or general meanness. </p>
<p>Post script–so, living in East Egg, are you Jay Gatsby’s neighbor? If you are, be careful of speeding Rolls Royces driven by trophy wives . . . just ask Daisy and Mr. Wilson.</p>
<p>Honestly, you deserve it if you harassed a kid to the point where he reported you. Don’t act like you didn’t do anything, and just accept the consequences.</p>
