    Oh my Dear S.W.!

    It stinks because you WANT to like the school, and the V.P. is the turd in the punch bowl!! You know if you were two to five years younger it would be a non-issue!!

    What you could do:

    Write an editorial or letter to the editor of the local paper praising the open-mindedness of the school and how they welcomed you, an older student, with open arms. That you know you are “irregular” but in the pursuit of an amazing education, every teenager should go to this school! Even better if you can get a reporter to interview you and write a local interest piece on it. Even better, interview HIM!

    THEN the V.P. wouldn’t DARE mistreat you!! You will have outfoxed him! Everyone in the community will know your name, and the school, and him.

    You win, the school wins from the great endorsement and he “loses” because then he can’t kick you out without losing face.

    That is how I, as a fellow adult, would handle him.

    Other Ideas: Become great friends with the Principal. Know who the Big Donors are and mention them in conversation. Ask if you could help them with fund raising.

    He is punishing you for being a young adult daring to go to high school. Well, he wouldn’t treat a fellow adult like that ~ remind him that you are one!

    Friend his mother on FaceBook. I’m not kidding!! Make connections with his connections. Go on the town’s FaceBook Group Page and join, mentioning the school. EVERYONE IN TOWN WILL ASSOCIATE YOU WITH THE SCHOOL!! Be uplifting, supportive and a friend to everyone on the Page!! Then if he does the unthinkable you can say “kicked out” with a sad emoticon and hell will rain down on him. Don’t worry. It won’t happen! 😉

    Forget your housework. Get takeout and let the dust bunnies breed. Go to all your classes. Do all the work and hand it all in early. Start a program in the school. Run for student council. Be in the school play. Dominate in Varsity. Be a favorite of the favorite teachers.

    Have someone get a reporter at that local paper to interview YOU as Student of the Year!!

    Go Get ‘Em!!!

    Can I just add: The VP is a BULLY and bullies bully only because they THINK they can get away with it! But once you are made VISIBLE and a REPRESENTATIVVE, of sorts, for the school, then his darkness can’t live in the light!! Of course you have to do your part, like have a maddening habit of showing up for all your classes so he can’t kick you out, but you know what I mean!!

    Hello there! You are very, very strong. Dealing with such a person seems extremely difficult and you are managing so well. You are an inspiration. However, since the Vice President is making your life at your school miserable, you should bring it up to the principle and let him/her know what’s how the Vice President is treating you. He is acting immature and us a disgrace. A person should be entitled to an education regardless of their age. If things get worse after you speak to the president, it might be best to consider leaving. Staying in an environment like this can weigh down on you. I know that this is a prestigious school, but there are others. Quitting sometimes is the best option. You need to be happy. At the end of the day, if your not happy, then there needs to be a change. I believe that leaving would be the best option, because you deserve happiness, not this verbal abuse.

    * Dear pikachumew2: it is amazing to me that the post above written by you, was written by a 17 year old. The language, expression, insight seems like that of a much older person. In fact many older people do not read as mature as you.

    You wrote: “I believe that leaving would be the best option, because you deserve happiness, not this verbal abuse.”

    Remember this belief of yours when you decide what to do in your life situation!
