Step 1: Do your school work

Violent outbursts of aggression such as breaking windows or throwing chairs may get you expelled. , Some people believe that if you stand by doing nothing when someone else is doing wrong, you are just as guilty as they are.
If you are reporting a bully (or bullies) to the staff, do not be a tattletale and exaggerate anything or make up stories.
Tell the truth when reporting incidents, you may not be believed if you have lied in the past, so always be honest. , Someone nice is usually more appreciated than someone who is not.
Try to be a pleasure to teach, without being a teacher's pet if possible and your chances of getting expelled will be next to zero. , This may result in you being expelled quickly.

If you are diabetic for example, you may need to eat in class.
