yes, i completely understand that. but better late than never, right? the police took pictures, my babysitter was a witness, i went to the doctor for antibiotics because it got infected and i am not a legal adult yet, im only 16. thanks birdgirl. im going to talk to a lawyer sometime in the next week and check if i can still sue the school and then use part of the money for any therapy that i might need. i havent thought about this in years, sort of a repressed memory that i uncovered today. but i believe that it has subconciously affected me to the extent where i hate school, schoolteachers, councelors, and councelor like people, causing me to behave the way i do in school now, i should say used to. i was expelled in april because i made a "highly sophisticated psychotic death threat" to an english teacher who, i felt, was targeting me and that i subconciously attached the likeness of said councelor to her. i basically just gave myself a psych evaluation w/o realizing it, wow
