Ahhh "honesty", people claim to want it these days, but in cases like this, lie, lie, lie. Honesty means nothing in a situation like this. It's not as if she will learn something from this situation, or become a better person. The only thing to learn is to lie, lie, lie in a situation like this if it arises again.Akalabeth said:It's called "honesty"Cry Wolf said:Why the hell did she admit to drinking?
Actually his post is spot on. In New York State, for example, the legal limit for those under 21 is .02%. This is done to prevent false positives and for consideration of certain medications, which, taken as directed, can produce a bac higher than 0.00.8-Bit_Jack said:Do you mean zero? I suppose zero is technically less than .05 and up, but why bother saying it at all?Hitokiri_Gensai said:Yeah, unfortunately, school policy is still school policy. Quantity, especially under the legal age tends to be frowned upon.
Here in the US, someone underage has a MUCH lower "legal limit" than someone than whose legally able to drink so.
Anyhow, theres not much you can do.
I find your post silly
OK, that's a hilarious response.reonhato said:even if its a retarded rule its still a school rule, and as long as it is not something outrageously stupid they can do what they want.
i remember in year 9 after a few weeks of a lot of kids blatantly ignoring school uniform policies the deputy principle spoke to the school, read the rules, showed us where they were written etc, part of the rules were boys wearing shorts had to have them at a certain length and girls wearing skirts the same, as well as girls not being able to wear any makeup. after the assembly my brother went up to the deputy principle and pointed out that the rules stated that the uniform can be either pants, shorts or skirt, and that girls have to have the skirt at a certain length and wear no makeup... at no point did the rules say a boy was not allowed to wear a skirt of any length or was prevented from wearing makeup... the deputy replied with " if you want to show up in a mini skirt and makeup i aint going to stop you"
Then she needs to get better at lying lol. I'm of the opinion that the theory that states that our brains got larger and we got smarter because of deception. The fact that we could deceive each other gave rise to our intelligence. A lot of this was to do in the sexual arena, especially on the savannah, but this includes a lot of aspects of life. So if she can lie in this case, then all the power to her lol. But that's just me off course.Akalabeth said:Are you her? You see the thing is, honest people actually DO give a shit in situations like this. That's what integrity is. If you've done something wrong, man up, face the consequences and stand with your friends (assuming they were likewise suspended).Giftfromme said:Ahhh "honesty", people claim to want it these days, but in cases like this, lie, lie, lie.

The fact that she was honest about what she did already proves she is a better person. Lying if anything else will probably betray her own principles, and prove herself untrustworthy in the eyes of her school faculty. One thing you have to realize with age is, that the older you are, the better you can read people. A lot of teachers know when students are lying.
wow...Rabid Toilet said:You said she had every intention of drinking. She's in ninth grade, she probably shouldn't be getting drunk just yet. Maybe this will discourage her from trying it again until she's older. I'd say it was justified.
A lot of medicines, and mouthwash and so on, contain alcohol, so there IS a "legal" limit for those under the age of 21 in the US. That way if they happened to be taking medication or for god sake, used mouthwash, they're not going to get arrested for it.8-Bit_Jack said:Do you mean zero?
