I didn't fight back. They were afraid I was going to have to have surgery -- the bone was shattered.

Mom went to the school and demanded she be disciplined. They said their policy for "fighting" meant that I would be suspended, too. Even though I didn't encourage it or fight back.

But in this case, she DID report it, it was just ignored. People are nuts.
