View Full Version : tobacco possesion in school
Ok I'm a junior in an all boys high school & long story short, things tend to get gay around here. I tend to get bullied and sometimes the older kids sodomise us. Sometimes they'll accept cigarettes instead of money as payment, and since I don't have a lot of money i started bringing cigarettes into school. Eventually, I picked up smoking as well so I could deal with the bullies. Yesterday, the principal saw me smoking a cigarette outside so randomly searched me and found a pack of cigs on me. My question is I'm gonna be applying for college at the end of this year and I was woundering if this would show up on my record. I am required to attend a drug and alcohol seminar which is at a county center on a school day, so I won't be going to school that day so I'll be missing school. But I don't think it counts as a suspension.

Well first of all, let me say I'm sorry about that, that blows. Randomly searched...god...
If it's not a official suspension, I don't think you'd even have to tell any colleges you're applying to about it. Even if it was a suspension, they'd just be like "oh ok, he got suspended for one day for having cigarettes." Not that big of a deal, man. It's cigarettes. You get to college, and half the students smoke anyway. I doubt anyone really believes they all started after they were 18.

If it's on your "permanent record" you have to mention it. There's a spot on the common app for it. If it was a short "day of reflection" or some shit, I think you're ok. I was suspended my senior year during Jan for violating drug/alcohol policy, and it really fucked me over.
You really need to talk to your school's college counselor though. S/he'll have the answer FOR SURE. I know mine helped me out alot.
It may just be cigarettes, but schools will see it as "disrespect for the drug/alcohol/tobacco policy." And if you're doing that, you might just start making crack in your dorm and selling it to the elementary school kids across the street. They don't want that shit at their university. Really fucked up situation, I know.
If no real hardcore disciplinary action was put on you you're mostly likely fine. :)

Dude I got expelled near the end of my senior year (I already had enough credits) and I'm in college right now. Don't trip.

Yeah, the multiple times I was given out of school suspension in HS for skipping class, and smoking in the bathrooms (I know I'm not a tough guy, btw)? Didn't put em on my college app.
The many, many times I was arrested as a minor, and charged with various misdemeanors and a couple of felonies? I didn't put em on my college app, either.
... and I still got accepted to every place I applied to.
You'll be alright, I don't think they even check that shit.
What he said. I was suspended my sophomore year of high school for a fight and never put it on my common app.

Heh, but if they somehow found out about that (maybe they would if you got in trouble again, for something common like drinking) and found out you lied on your application, that would probably be grounds for automatic expulsion.
But that's some different shit than the OP's smoking thing, which is no big deal.

Whether you put it down or not doesn't matter. Colleges look at your "record" and it's there. I guess I need to rephrase what I said earlier in that you don't "have" to put it down. The only reason you'd put it down is to "explain the situation" (i.e. rough time in your life and got into some trouble). That tends to look better than saying nothing at all.
You'll get into schools fine, you just won't be going to Harvard, that's all. I hated college admissions anyway. It's all just a dick sizing contest....whoever has the most extracurricular activities and bent over the farthest.

I don't know about you but I'd be more concerned about being ass raped then my permanent record

they're cigarettes, don't worry about it.
but DON'T FUCKING LET YOURSELF GET BULLIED
get a friend to videotape the bullying then tell the person you'll give the video to ur principle if they don't stop. if they do it again, then get in trouble, then use violence, put metal spikes all over yourself (make them for extra points), including the knuckles of your gloves on the outside of your arms, then see if he wants to fuck with you. that's fucking ridiculous to let someone make you spend your time to make money to buy shit to give to them, or for them to talk bullshit that you have to hear. it's fucking feudalism
don't be a fucking rug god dammit

Uh... You're a troll right?
I go to Vanderbilt medical and I got expelled from high school eventually for an accumulation of drug policy violations. Before this I was in MTSU. Neither of these schools asked or said anything about my "permanent record".

I'm surprised more people are not talking about the sodomy going on. Have fun defending your asshole Benz!
Yeah, the sodomize thing is what scared me.
But I suppose that he figures that should be in S&A...or that he doesn't mind that part of the bullying, one of the two. :D

Um yeah....That sodomize part.... shouldn;t you report that to someone??? I mean that would be the SMART thing to do...unless circumstances complicate things.
So....why did a mod decide to edit in the sodomy part?

She was an inactive mod and someone hacked her account way back and edited some posts.

Just wondering? Why do you tollerate being bullied. Fucking knife those cunts or go to the admin. If they don't put a stop to it then you can claim that you had to take matters into you'r own fists.
