Today I was informed that I’m going to be suspended for three days. This isn’t the first time I’ve been suspended. I was suspended in middle school. I’ve received two suspensions already. If it helps the cause was for bullying others and fighting. Will this prevent me from being accepted to top colleges and getting scholarships? Will I have to explain this in my college applications? As a result, I will stop doing things that would get me suspended that I’m doing currently.Will this prevent me from getting rejected from local universities?
Honestly, yes it will hurt your chances of getting scholarships and acceptances. Hopefully this will teach you a lesson not to be a jerk to others. I wasn’t a surprise it was for bullying because of how you post on this site. It will most likely show up on your transcript. Get your superiority complex out of your life.
Yeah, this will hurt your chances at acceptances and scholarships. You can explain it but it probably won’t help considering it was your choice and you knew what you were doing.
It’s a nice break from school but I regret it because it might affect my college applications.
Spend some time thinking about how you can help others. Maybe become a regular volunteer at a food bank or homeless mission. It is good to learn that the world doesn’t revolve around you and that we are all one step away from tragedy.
Considering the way you act on CC I wasn’t surprised you actually got suspended in school for bullying others.
Like I said, don’t be a jerk to others and you won’t have issues. That applies both online and in school.
If this is your third suspension, make sure you don’t rack up more suspensions, your still a freshman and if you continue on the way that you have been, college admissions might raise a few eyebrows when they see a record of violence in an applicant. It doesn’t matter if you have decent grades, things like a history of violence and bullying really hurts your application.
It is hard to imagine your teachers and counselor writing great letters of recommendations for you. So yes, having a problem respecting others in real life and on line will have an impact on your future choices.
Regretting bullying others because “it will affect my college applications” is incredibly wrong and thoughtless for the people you are harming. Unless you are capable of turning your attitude and actions around before application season, then yes it will harm your chances greatly if not because of the disciplinary record then because no teacher would write a helpful LOR for you.
“It’s a nice break from school”
This statement is truly scary.
I would expect this attitude to show up on your references, if not elsewhere.
@TQfromtheU I already volunteer helping others and know the world doesn’t revolve about me. @RMNiMiTz Yes I know I have to stop. I was told if I was suspended one more time, I would be kicked out of my school. I like my school so I’ll stop. @DadTwoGirls It actually is a nice little break from school. All my finals are over so this is “decompression” time. The educators in my school don’t really like me for a number of reasons. So I’ll have to work on that as well.
Show this thread to your parents and tell them need professional help to make a change in your life. You are off track, dear. Maybe they can’t see it but now is the time to fix it. Before oops is not good enough.
It’s the attitude that shows in your writing, OP.
Worries about college led you to say, “As a result, I will stop doing things that would get me suspended that I’m doing currently.” WHY did this continue, in the first place? SMH. Why not get the message the first time?
What makes you bully others and fight? (Don’t explain it to us, there is no excuse.)
“Nice little break” shows no contrition. It’s so weird that I wonder if you’re pulling our legs.
Thanks for the responses guys.
What did you do?
@colonelkiyo it’s in the original post. @TQfromtheU I’m on track. You’re assuming I’m not on track and need professional help due to some mistakes? I don’t need any changes. I’m doing pretty good.
No, you’re not really. You don’t see the actions you did to get suspended as necessarily wrong, as you’re not doing them again because of the consequences and not cause its a really awful thing to bully. You only seem to care about yourself and you have a pretty big ego. I wouldn’t call you on track.
Why did you bully your classmates? Were you the provokateur or the provoked?
I don’t even know how to respond to this. You’re posting something on THIS site and trying to deflect every single piece of criticism. You need to learn that criticism is how you become a better person.
You’re just a high school freshman and trying to tell everyone how to succeed and what to do. Honestly, I don’t think this site is for you. If you’re such a super genius, you should just leave this site for good and focus on your studies.
**coming from a high school freshman
@Bobbybob444555 Lmao. I respect it.
As I see it, here’s the root of the problem, from the OP “As a result, I will stop doing things that would get me suspended that I’m doing currently.” From post # 9, “I like my school so I’ll stop.”
You’re not going to improve your behavior because it’s wrong to bully others, you’re going to improve it as a means to the ends. You “don’t need any changes” from post # 14.
Here’s the thing: even if you do get accepted into the school of your choice, there’s no guarantee that the same behavior won’t lead to the same results there. Except, of course, that you’ll be a legal adult and the same behavior will have far more serious consequences.
