yentemonkey – While I agree with you what you did then pales in comparison to what you do now, still there are others besides you in the school. The kid did the right thing in snitching and the prinicpal did the right thing in throwing you out. He could have given you a warning, but he isn’t/wasn’t required to. There are posters above who don’t like this, but it doesn’t mean they are right.

“NOW i’m on the street with a bunch of bums that im aware aren’t my friends they are just users and drug abusers !”

Now I understand that you are angry and frustrated and I would be too, but why hang out in the streets? Hanging out in the streets will only lead to you losing any Jewish identity you still have.

Why don’t you go to a modern orthodox school? I’ve posted this many times in the CR. They have normal Torah learning. Most of the students keep Shabbos. And being that most of these schools are mixed, you won’t get thrown out for talking to girls.

This I think is the problem -most parents are only out for themselves, so they won’t do what’s best for the kid. A lot of parents will waste time trying to get their kid into another frum school for their own reputation, instead of putting the kid in an MO school. In the meantime the kid is hanging out in the worst places. I don’t want to sound Sharf, but these parents will have to give a bigger Din V’chesbon than the school because their kid is OTD. Let them get off their high horse and put the kid in a MO Yeshiva!
