A Poem I Had To Write Has Cost Me My Social Life - General

boo hoo OP, you get to go to counseling once a week. your social life is hardly damaged.

i don't think the OP knows what a social life is to begin with, he's probably never experienced having one

I agree with the OP in saying the school is dumb, but I think you're a little slow for not expecting the reaction.

[QUOTE=Roskarnolkov;25340372] "I hate the slight prejudice, That I can't help but hold against Jews. But something I hate even more than this Are dirty, rotten, greedy [I]Jews![/I]" [/QUOTE] wow look at the next fucking jack frost

[QUOTE=Namo;25343317]Why exactly did he get expelled for that? Since when were cast iron pots considered weapons?[/QUOTE] I assume the school board interpreted it as "<name> has pot in his backpack." but I could be wrong

[QUOTE=Valnar;25340437]Dude, how is someone supposed to know that is a joke? You said that you hate all jews.[/QUOTE] I wasn't aware that hating jews was a punishable offense.

[QUOTE=Twitch;25341844]they wanted a poem about indignation he wrote a poem about his hatred for jews wtf[/QUOTE] He said he aimed to be sardonic. He succeeded.

[QUOTE=JoeyZ;25341475]To be fair, it did have gears and pistons sticking out of it. kinda like this but with breasts and a head.

Well, I honestly can't say I'm surprised.... You're an idiot, OP. Why the [i]fuck[/i] did you think that would be an appropriate topic for school? Grow up.

Why the fuck would you write a poem like that and hand it in!? You got what you deserved.

I'm not surprised, how did you not know that they would take you seriously?

I thought it was pretty clever...

[QUOTE=gamefreek76;25342092]Could you, perchance, post the entire poem? I found that bit hilarious. Also, for the counseling, just don't go.[/QUOTE] They haven't returned it. If they give it back, I'll post it up. Most of it is pretty shitty, though, as I didn't try too hard.

Talk to your teacher. You had just done the assignment, and now you're getting sent to the counselor?

"Have you ever killed anyone because they were Jewish?" "What no!" "Are you SUUUUUUUUURE?"

You seriously didn't expect anything?

I don't think they can force you into counselling. Refuse to go.

Next time you're assigned a project in free writing jokingly write about a sexual predator.

That was unintelligent, even if you were joking and you actually did the assignment correctly the school is going to flip out. ITT: Idiots all around. :page3:

[QUOTE=Blitzkreig;25351774]That was unintelligent, when you're saying hateful things even jokingly because it was obvious you weren't serious the school is going to flip out. :page3:[/QUOTE] He was told to write shit like that.

You honestly thought your teacher would think that was funny?

[QUOTE=Roskarnolkov;25340372]Actually, I'm not really sure it was supposed to be a hate poem, [I]per se[/I]. But the prompt was sort of unclear. It basically said "Write a 20-line poem of indignation. Use your own rhyme scheme." All right, I think, I'll write five stanzas, four lines each, each one ending with some sort of twist. It will be funny in a sort of sardonic way. So I get down to write and begin listing off everything I hate. Really, I don't hate that much. I'm a fairly easy-going guy, so I had to make some shit up about how much I hate hipsters, Williamsburg, the religious right, etc. It ended up pretty well, but there was one stanza that stuck out, which read: "I hate the slight prejudice, That I can't help but hold against Jews. But something I hate even more than this Are dirty, rotten, greedy [I]Jews![/I]"[/QUOTE] I stopped reading right there, due mainly to the fact THAT YOU NEVER SAY ANYTHING ABOUT JEWS IN THE MEDIA EVER REGARDLESS OF INTENTION. It's almost suicide now a days, and I compare it with the whole Black/African American/Which is least racist problem. You broke a serious tenant of life, and you have to deal with it.

the assignment wasn't supposed to be about how you hate something, its supposed to be how the unfair treatment of jews in the holocaust (the topic you chose) anger or annoys you. [quote]indignation |ˌindigˈnā sh ən| noun anger or annoyance provoked by what is perceived as unfair treatment : the letter filled Lucy with indignation.[/quote] to answer your question, just do the counseling and prove to them that you're not a crazy serial killer. just be straight up and normal. it wouldn't be a smart idea to mention how you're a depressed teenager that sits on facepunch and browses the internet all day. the faster you do this, the faster your counselor would probably recommend to your dean that you dont need the counseling.

I was once suspended for a week for writing a haiku about my ass. It went something like this: [i]Tookus, firm and sweet, What would I do without you? I shudder to think.[/i] I had a sit-down with the principal for two hours, listening to him explain how awful and terrible and bad sexual harassment is. I then had a sit-down with my dad for two hours, listening to him explain how awful and terrible and bad being suspended was. I managed to look humble throughout the conversations, muttering my "yessirs" and "nosirs" and "sorrysirs" in all the right places, wondering all the while how the hell anything with the word "tookus" as the subject could get anyone into so much trouble.

So basically you wrote a hate poem, handed it in, and are now classified as mentally unstable. I think you've achieved something I never could, congratulations! If you want to get out of the counseling bullshit, you'll just have to go through it until they are satisfied that you really were just joking. Personally if they asked me personal questions like that I would have told them "Yea I'm suicidal, and don't think about opening my backpack, it's triggered to explode via zipper or deadman switch." and walk out. If they're going to make a huge deal of it, I would have fun with it by exploding it way out of proportion. But that's because I'm a sarcastic asshole and I know what it's like to have a principle ask you if you're suicidal.

Overreaction. Holy fuck.

Haha, Oh how I love schools They're so far up their asses these days Schools suspend 7 year olds over the Zero Tolerance Policy about weapons when the weapon in question is the one a plastic green army man is holding glued to a patriotic baseball cap

It would worsen the situation because saying that is actually illegal as all hell...then again Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer, so why not, I'm all for sarcasm when such idiocy is being demonstrated, no matter which side it's demonstrated from

both the school and op are dumb
