- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Had it been at school you would have been expelled. Our society now teaches people to be victims or face the consequences.
Lmao, it was during highschool. I was 17. I got suspended immediatelty and they tried to expel me, but failed. I said fuck them anyways and dropped out and just got GED instead, my state still give a certificate that use the word "Diploma" for it and my GED scores looked much better than my GPA too. I got accepted to a state university, but I eventually have to drop out due to depression.
Also I got en existential crisis about the possibility of deportations. But luckily in this timeline, I was already a US Citizen derived fron my mother's Citizenship. Wonder what's happening with me in the other timelines in which I didn't have Citizenship yet.
Charges eventually got dropped via some "diversion" BS but I did not have to admit any guilt so I just took it, I would've fought it though the courts if any plea deals required admission of guilt.
And theres also some BS with juveniles technically not getting a Jury Trial, so its just a judge deciding it, even though it carries similar consequences as an adult conviction for an assult charge.
So much fucking bullshit.
"Zero tolerance" == Let the kids from fucked up households and shitty parents fuck your kids up for life, because that's our policy.
Yeah, it's quite amazing that the policy never seems to apply to the actual bullies.
In my school the bullies rarely used actual physical violence. It was all threats and toeing the line while using their elevated position in the social hierarchy to make fun of the lower kids for anything and everything. The other kids couldn't fight back because no one else would ever side with them and risk becoming a target as well.
