I pleaded innocence explaining, but they didn't believe me...cig butt in hand made me guilty, regardless.
I also got suspended in the 5th grade for an after school fight on school grounds. Damn girl was a school bully, picked on many, including me. I took it & took it. One day after school let out she was walking behind me as we left the building, she started messing with my hair, flipping it up, pulling at it some, mouthing off.
Shoot...I guess I had enough after weeks of tolerating, cause at some point without warning I turned around and popped her with my fist & knocked her down. I hit her hard enough I lost my balance swinging & fell too, then we went to fighting on the ground. I remember a teacher pulling me off of her and another teacher pulling her up from the ground. She started crying like she was the victim!! pffffff!
We both got suspended, cause witness' told the principal she started it messing with my hair & being mouthy...but they said I was guilty for not ignoring her taunting. I'm not a violent person by nature, and it took a lot to get me that mad! I did ignore her for weeks!
She never bullied me again, in fact, she did her best to befriend me. My dad thankfully was on my side and understood, so I didn't get in trouble at home.
That was one of two school fights I ever had...the other was my junior yr of high school during intermission at a basketball game with a rival school & rival cheerleader...another story, another day, lol.
