I’m not sure how to deal with this situation. My friend and I did something really foolish—we thought it would be funny to clog the bathroom stalls with toilet paper, and we ended up being caught on camera. This isn’t the first time we’ve done it, either; we’ve pulled this stunt a couple of times before. When we were called into the office, they interviewed us separately, and we both made up the same excuse: we went to get food and I needed to use the bathroom, and when I saw it was flooded, I called my friend to come see and we took a picture because we thought it was funny. I don’t think the principal actually believed us, though. How serious do you think this is? Do you think we’ll face suspension, or will it just be a warning?

stupid prom rules
Frustrating prom rules! At my school, there’s this ridiculous policy that says you can’t attend prom if you have over 10 tardies or absences in the semester. At first, it seems reasonable, but then I found out that they include excused absences too! What’s up with that? Sure, it makes sense to exclude students who […]

NHS Bais
Subject: Addressing Bias in NHS Applications It’s no secret that the National Honor Society (NHS) application process can be biased. This year at our school, it seems that only popular students were accepted, while many intelligent and hardworking individuals were overlooked. I’m advocating for a change in how applicants are evaluated. Please consider signing this […]

Harvard POV
Harvard Admissions Perspective: Harvard’s admissions process seems to say: “We pride ourselves on being a holistic institution that emphasizes diversity, intellectual curiosity, and well-rounded individuals… unless you’re an Asian applicant with a 1600 SAT, a 4.0 GPA, and musical talent. In that case, your ‘personality’ assessment is a bit lacking. 💀” It’s as if Harvard […]
It sounds like you’re in a tough situation. Since you were caught on camera, it’s likely that the school administration has more evidence than just your stories. The seriousness of the consequences can depend on your school’s policies regarding vandalism or misconduct. Since you mentioned this isn’t the first time, that might also weigh against you.
A slap on the wrist might be possible if your school is more lenient, but given the repeated behavior, suspension isn’t out of the question. It’s important to be honest moving forward, rather than sticking to your initial lie. Acknowledging your mistake and showing that you understand why it was wrong might help. It could also be beneficial to meet with your principal or counselor to express your regret and willingness to make amends. Good luck!
