Before i even get started, i would like to say, please stick to the question i am asking here. which is do i have a case to sue these folks????

I live in texas and i go to plano west senior high. To the point now.. this one day i went to class early and one of my classmates comes in and i turn around to say hello,and then out of nowhere the door to my class opens and i hear a loud burst of laughter in the hallway. i didnt think anything of it, until it came again the next day, and the next and the next. so finally i got tired of it and wanted to see if it was me they were laughing at. Instead of going to that particular class early like i usually do, i went after the bell rang. and while i was coming around the corner one of the dudes who usually laugh when they see me in class was running back to his other friends class saying here she goes here she goes and the other boys are just laughing their butts off. well i found out that they have been saying bad things about me,and instead of plotting revenge and keying their cars and all tha other stuff i have thought up i want to know if i have a case to sue them for mental suffering. i try to skip days in school to avoid being picked at, my grades have slipped, and im always tardy to class now, and i have thought of committing suicide. so is this substantial enough evidence to even think of suing?

case or no case?

My response:

No, you have no "case". The other students have a right to talk, and laugh at you, or with you, or about you. It's called the First Amendment to the United States Constitution; i.e., Freedom of Speech.

Either ignore them or get thicker skin.

Hold on, IAAL...perhaps more to this story...

J:

My first impression from your post is that you are neither fat nor ugly. I am thinking more toward skankalicious...but without more to go on will have to pry for more info.

Now...you mentioned bells going off before you entered the classroom on several occasions. Then after a few days of consistent laughter, you entered the classroom after the bells went off. More laughter. Was this class a SCIENCE class? Could this be a cruel Pavlovian experiment designed by the instuctor to test your salivary gland reaction? No reaction. Thus, conclusively, you are NOT a dog. Ergo, you must be pretty. Am I right? Yes, I am!

If this was an experiment in which your instructor (with or without consent of the Principal) solicited boys to laugh at you in order to prove this hypothesis, you have a good case against the instructor and the school/district.

If not, you have no case...but at least you're still pretty. And as Christina Aguilara would say "I am [skankalicious], no matter what they say...words can't bring me down..." Keep your head up...stay pretty. College is right around the corner!
