Reply #7: Ten years ago my younger sister got thrown out of school for fighting [View All]

[LeftyMom]

that was in jr high (she wasn't suspended, she was encouraged to go on home study until high school, that way they still got $$$ for her attendance and didn't have to actually educate her,) she was suspended again for fighting again her freshman year (twice I think.) Then her classmates learned that she wouldn't tolerate harassment or derogatory comments (the school system had't done anything about the problem, fighting wasn't the first resort by a long shot) and she got along fine.

She's a nice, well adjusted young adult and if you met her on the street you'd have no idea she spent a fair portion of her school career beating up assholes who couldn't be made to treat her with respect any other way.

Girls fighting in school is nothing new.
