Oh how accurate, Let me share you my story.
In sophmore year of Highschool I had this friend Named Abraham, A big fat mexican. He had been my friend for a few years, had a few verbal fights, the usual. About Mid Semester he started Calling me Gay, I took it as a joke at first and went on with my day. This went on for about two weeks before I confronted him outside Biology class. I asked him why he kept calling me gay, Only to get '' 'Cause you are.' '' as a response, He had two buddies with him asking me if I wanted to fight, I'm not an idiot, Three on one are not the odds I like. The teacher came up to me and asked me if we had a problem, I said "Not right now, but we will when the lunch bell rings." Going into class I waited for the bell, while he constantly threw paper wads at me, The bell rang and I got infront of him, my back to him just wanting to go to lunch. Then I felt a hard push on my back and was shoved into the hallway and into a wall, smacking my head against the wall. Standing up a tackle him and started punching every inch I could manage, dotting an eye, breaking his glasses, and some other things, The teacher eventually broke us up. Now.. in 1957 It would have been understandable why I started punching the kid. But in 2006-7 this is what I had to endour. Got Three days suspension, $112 dollar court Cost, My mom removed me from public school at my request. Went infront of a judge and was charged with, Disrupting the public or some thing like that. I pleaded Guilty to the Disrupting the Public and also Said it was Self Defense, Seeing as of how I was shoved into the wall first. However the judge said that it only mattered who Qoute Unqoute "It doesn't matter who shoved first, It's who swung first." And I was set to have a public 'Trial By My peers.' Which means my sentence was determined by Highschoolers. As fucked up as that is initself I appeared infront of the Jury of my peers and they had me explain to them what happened and why. I explained I had been ridiculed by this guy for a couple of years. and that a man can only take so much before he snaps. I told them that he initiated the arguments and the fight. What happened was I recieved Six months probation, Ten hours of community Service, and I had to do some Kids Of The Community once a month for the Length of my probation BECAUSE I was homeschooled and wasn't getting to Interact with other people as well as I would have been able to in Public school. Now, do you think all this would have happened Fifty years ago? And when ever the jury of prissy teachers pets were discussion our sentences, The teacher who led the army of teachers pets was patting the fat mexican on the back telling him it was ok, While me and my mom were givin the cold shoulder.
