hey im one of those guys that wants to get to a pretty decent college and im only a freshmen atm... but recently i got suspended for basically pushing someone, will colleges take that seriously when i apply?

Sorry, it is part of your permanent record now.

Agreed, your offense will be taken strictly. Either an offense of hostility, and man handeling, colleges will frown upon it.

You may want to take it up with your guidence counselor at your earliest oppritunity. I think there's hope as you're only a freshmen but you'll have to take care of it now and make sure it never happens again.

They mean go to the coucelling office at your school, and talk with someone about it.

Yeah, its silly, really silly - but they take EVERYTHING seriously, whether it was playing around or not.

Yeah, it's on your permanent record. However, I doubt it will effect you all that much. Honestly, what guy hasn't gotten in trouble for something silly like that?

As long as you try to avoid situations like that in future, and don't commit a felony, you should be fine. By the time you get around to applying for colleges, it'll be far enough in the past that it really won't matter much. What will matter are your extracurricular activities, your grades, your letters or recommendation from teachers, and your standardized test scores.

oh thanks that makes me feel just a bit better lol

Unless there were some legal claims made against you, don't worry about it. Astraea hit it right on the head.

Lilac Illyria · May 16, 2006, 02:29 AM // 02:29

Agreed. I don't think they look too much at your disciplinary (unless you go totally nuts) GPA, sat scores, that stuff is wayyyyyyyy more important

astraea listed all of it.

okay cool, and the person that i pushed got ticketed and got suspendd for 3 days because he punched me lol i didnt add that part cuz i was a bit embarrassed but i didnt fight back because of the suspension thing, even tho i did get suspended

Tsunami Rain · May 16, 2006, 05:48 AM // 05:48

i beat the ---- out of a kid once because he punched me in the face for no apparent reason and thought it was funny (shh dont tell anyone). turns out to be his fault so i got no blame for it. went on his record not mine.

well that was a few years ago.

Lou · May 16, 2006, 04:49 PM // 16:49

I accidently ran over someone in my school parking lot once, thats as close as I've ever come to getting into a fight.

Nobody's perfect, and unless you are indicted on several offenses throughout your high school "career", one offense your first year out shouldn't make too big of an impact. Freshmen year is tough, and a little irrational behavior is expected, and as long as you keep your record pretty clean, you'll be fine. Of course, volunteer work never hurts, and would easily gloss over that small dent in your record, as well as open you up to many prestigious scholarships. It is my experience that volunteer work is just as valuable, if not more in some situations, than academic ability for certain scholarships.

i cant even call that half a fight

and i wouldnt worry to much, i know some people that concern themselves with getting impecable records so much they literally let it dominate their lives. dont go there

Stalker Haras · May 17, 2006, 01:41 AM // 01:41

hmm...funny how theres so many strict schools....yet the one im at they could care less.

got in a fight last year, infront of a teacher the teacher told me to stop beating the other kid when he started bleeding......he basically watched me beat the piss outa someone.......yeah...

why are schools so strict, fighting is fun

-Byron- · May 17, 2006, 02:39 AM // 02:39

I got into something similar during my freshmen year. A kid was angry at me because he had a personal grudge against me so he hit me and I beat the tar out of him. The school claimed that I "overdefended" myself, whatever that means. Nontheless....

I am concerned about my college aspirations, and I will tell you now: If you don't get into any more trouble, the effect will be nominal. Colleges like to see improvement in all areas, and demonstrating that it isn't a constant problem and that you've realized your mistakes and improved yourself from it can make the suspension make no difference in the end.
