I got lunch detention. Worst lunch of my life! You may think I’m overreacting. When I complained to my friends they said, “It’s just for one day, and then it’s over. You should just try to forget it after lunch.” I knew that once my parents found out, I wouldn’t be able to audition on Thursday!

    I then thought about the lunch detention rules. You get lunch after the other students of your gender, you sit alone for the entire lunch period (50 minutes), and you can’t talk to anyone except teachers who talk to you. Also, every detention you ever have goes on your permanent record!

    You probably wonder why I had this detention. I wrote a poem explaining the truth about another student whom betrayed me, and it was claimed untruthful and inappropriate. I was punished with lunch detention and I couldn’t be a tour guide for the new sixth graders in May.

    My parents knew that this wasn’t right. They talked to teachers and my tour guide punishment was lifted! But, no one can take away an experience that has already happened. I also talked to the counselor about it. Here’s what went down


  1. What happened?

  2. Did that actually happen or was it different?

  3. Have you apologised?

  4. Did you step into her shoes?

  5. Could you have dealt with that differently?

It seems to me that I’m the bad guy. A counselor should understand your feelings and then if it was incredibly serious, ask questions two through five.


REMEMBER: This is only my opinion. It’s not completely backed up by facts. Before you ask, I will not post the “inappropriate and untruthful” poem online. I am already in enough trouble.
