School trouble, help needed.

Time to get on the creatine and start hitting the gym OP.

Then when you meet him on the corridor block his path. If he moves left, block him. Moves right, block him.

You need to be the alfa male here. Chest out, guns primed (that's muscles OP...don't go columbine on this sh*t).

Lazy principal imo.

Back in my day my, if i had made a comment like that , the principal would have just destroyed me with some well thought out witty retort and make everyone laugh at my expense.

They were the teachers you didn't mess with. A good use or sarcasm or retort. Could finish you off easily.

Ah yes, ' research' from one case in 2012 .. and you neglected to mention that the boys were readmitted when things died down!
So my poorly informed self did some more googling and found this http://www.irishexaminer.com/ireland/teachers-attacked-amid-gangland-culture-266529.html
to counter the case you speak of.

In any event nobody is going to expell the OP, sure the principal might be over icing the cake but kicking someone out for a joke is easy fodder for a joe duffy show... like the usual 'son with no uniform/long hair not allowed sit exam' story.

OP, just forget about it, the principal sure as hell aint thinking about it over the weekend. If he still gives you hassle then ask him how far he is willing to take it, and that he'll have to take the rest up with your parents as you have tried your best to resolve the situation. (Thats if you are determined not to give the other boy's name). I dont understand why he would want the other boys name though ! You've admitted what youve said

Otherwise, just give him the name.

I said a quick google. Not research. So the quotation mark is misleading. That aside, The fact remains that an individual school can determine what it decides is appropriate. Not me and not you and not a teenager who already has shown very poor judgement.
I have requested the thread be locked because of the real possibility of very bad advice being followed by an apparently impressionable teenage with admitted bad judgement. I'm out of here.

I agree with you 100% on that...

Is it a mixed school? If so, bring in one of your female friends and get her to inform him that it was in fact, that time of the month.

Sorted.

The op was very straight up in saying it was an off the cuff remark that he knows was inconsiderate and downright stupid. He told the principal that. He's recognised what he's done and seems to have learned a lesson. His whole approach is really healthy. If someone came to me with that attitude I'd be delighted, especially a teenager.

I don't think he was straight about it at all. His OP mentioned no female presence at all, and in fact gave the impression that the comment was made to a male.

In reality he made that remark to a female member of staff. And really if he'd made it to a teenage girl it would not have been any less unpleasant for her.

His whole approach has hardly been healthy, he presented the situation in a slanted way - and we don't know what else we haven't been told.

Just because we don;t know the gender of who he said it to does not mean it must be female. And in any event even if it was a female, why would that make a difference? Would it have been more ok to have said it to a male ?

So you don't think a teenage boy mocking a woman about period blood leaking out isn't meant to try to humiliate her in public? Whether it was hers or not isn't relevant, IMO it's completely inappropriate, whereas it would just be a bit cheeky to say it to a male teacher.

And we do now know the gender - but only because he was asked specifically though. He didn't say so until then. Which was my point : the situation as presented in the OP was not a totally honest account of things, so it's likely there are other aspects that are being glossed over in the same way. Again, IMO.

Did you tell him that he wouldn't last in the private sector ? That was definitely the best advice .
