Should I skip school?
My school is bullshit. I'm in huge trouble for retaliating against a guy who was saying rude things to me and about me. His parents came in and showed the messages I sent to him regarding to the stuff he's said about me. Everyone, including my parents, is pissed at me. Even my teacher said she was embarrassed to even have to know me. I already got switched out of his class, but I want to skip school. People say I sound like my mother on the phone so should I call in? Also, I have to have an escort for the rest of the school year. I was supposed to be off, but the guy's mom emailed the dean and told her about what I've done to her son. He and his friends have been giving me a hard time since last year. I've tried to tell my teachers, but they said it "all in my mind". My imagination. I'm just thinking he's saying those things. I've been bullied and he's getting away with it. His parents have money and are looking like good guys while I'm taking all the heat.

Don't skip school. Don't let him ruin your education and your future. Then he wins. Definitely keep going to school and try your hardest so that you can be successful and people will start to see that you are a hard worker and you might become more credible. I feel so sorry that you've been going through this and I believe you but I can't do much about it. Just remember that the truth always comes to light if you keep rising above the haters. You need to keep telling people until someone believes you. And if he keeps harassing you, the best thing to do is stay calm, don't involve yourself in the behavior and try to get some proof. If you keep reacting to his harassment, you will continue to make people think that you're just as much to blame, if not more, for it all. If he texts you, IM's you, calls you, posts things on Facebook or Myspace about you, whatever it may be, make sure you take a copy of it and save it for proof. If he talks to or about you and you have some friends who see it, make sure you have them as witnesses. You could even try to keep a journal of the things he does to you. If he says things to you, write down the date, where you were, what he said, what you did back (even if you didn't act appropriately, tell the truth), etc. Maybe talk about how it started and write down who was there. Then you can give specific examples.
Also, be sure you tell your parents about it. You should be able to trust them to back you up no matter what, especially when no one else is there for you. You need to sit down with them and explain why it's been so frustrating for you. You definitely have to confess the things you did back to him but explain everything that's been going on and tell them how it feels when everybody acts like it's all in your head. It might help to talk with a counselor at your school and see if you could have the chance to apologize for your behavior while still having it recognized that he was majorly wrong as well.
As far as skipping school or getting away from these people, I would suggest that if you can't handle being at school, then you get transferred or look into an alternative. You could try a virtual school. That's where you have classes online and you don't have to deal with all the BS at the regular high school. There's actually a lot of public virtual schools now so you wouldn't have to pay tuition and all that. You might be able to switch to a private school if your parents can pay the tuition. Even if they can't, a scholarship might be a possibility. Some cities have alternative or charter schools or you could try open enrollment to be able to go to a school outside of your district.
Either way, I hope you prevail over this loser and his stupid friends. I heard a quote once, "The worst thing you can let a person do to you is make you hate them." I think it's important for you to remember that.

Don't ever let emotion and anger let you make decisions like these. Calm down, relax, and understand that letting someone make you skip school (to possibly risk your chance of becoming successful later in life) is totally foolish. I've been there, I've had people taunt me about how they think I'm a homosexual- and it hurt, but I overcame it. You have to win everyone's respect back, even if they all are fed lies. And just remember; everything happens for a reason... Don't ever be a coward and scapegoat and say that it's someone else's fault for something that's happening to you. You got this because you treated a situation wrongly. Right now you're probably reading this and thinking "this guy's an idiot," but I know all of this through experience... When you accept that you made a mistake, whether or not he did something to you, you make progress in the situation.
You didn't explain what you meant by "retaliating," which makes me think you did something serious.

1st-I'm so so sorry!!!! That's horrible. I used to have a problem like that with a girl, but not NEAR as bad. You should try to sit you're parents down and talk to them honestly and openly. Make sure that you mention the things you did wrong (parents always give you points for that--trust me :)) and just tell them what's going on. If it truly is that bad you could pretend to be sick for a few days? good luck--hope it gets better.

It sounds like you have no idea that education is a priveledge.
You will probably never appreciate it.
You should never skip school, it is a step towards a life of failure.
But you know..You could always try to look at things in a Chistian way and see a new side of life.

dont talk to him and his friends unless you absolutely need to. if you send him messages because hes pissing you off, its just giving him more **** to show his mom or anyone else. not going to school will only make it worse. skipping one or two days wont solve anything.
