How can I get the principals off my back?

Why don’t you try the blunt, straight-ahead way:

• ask for a private conversation with a teacher you trust and the principal
• tell them you have realized that you have been doing things wrong
• tell them that you want to change and become a good student
• tell them you realized how important good grades are for your future
• tell them that you have tried to improve and that you stopped doing whatever you have been doing last year and admit all of your “sins”
• DO NOT try to qualify whatever you did to make it look better. Just tell them you know it was wrong and promise not to do it anymore.
• ask them what else you should do to improve
• ask them whether they think anything you currently do is wrong. And if that is the case, explain your_feelings about it. Tell them that you did not realize doing that was bad. Or that you did not think it was important. And if you have difficulties changing that behavior tell them what hinders you and ask for help.

Then listen to them and try to do what they tell you to do. Other than that, be nice, smile at them. Say hello when you meet a teacher in the hallway and try to do as the good students do. Also try to hang out with the “good guys”, not with any troublemakers, if that is possible.

i kind of already had that conversation with a couple of them but it hasnt really changed anything, and i have surrounded myself with positive ppl,etc… im feeling like im still getting judged off my past experiences

If you do something wrong in life, and get caught, then a punishment is administered and you have to pay the price for your wrong doings. . How would you feel if some guy molested and abused you severely, was caught and sentenced to prison with a big fine, and he just ran out of court and then said “I now know I was wrong and I am a better person now, so I don’t need to pay my fine or serve my jail sentence” ? . I think you would be absolutely furious and say he did the crime so he should pay his fine and do the time. . Well I think it works exactly the same when YOU do something wrong. You admit you were given a detention etc. last year (presumably for things you did wrong) but did not serve them. . I think you should accept the principle that if you commit the crime you do your time. . I recommend you apologize for your bad behaviour and ask when you can serve all the detentions you skipped off from so that you can start with a clean sheet again. . I really don’t think it is good educational practice to let people off their punishments just because they say sorry and promise not to do it again.
. Life isn’t that easy - and it gets worse if you are not willing to face up to the consequences of your bad behaviour. .

hm. difficult. Seems like you’re on the “troublemaker” list. I mean, I don’t think that there is really a list in the principals office. But You know, everyone has got categories. You have the “nice teachers” and the “tough teachers” category. And just like that, teachers have the “good students”, the “unremarkable students” and the “troublemakers” listed on their minds. You need to get off that list. Even if it means extra-effort. And I mean more effort than someone on the “good students” list would do. You have been producing negative feelings towards you with bad behavior and now you have to to make even.

I think you should make a clear statement about it. Like, I now decided l want to be a doctor (or whatever you want to be), I decided I want to grow up and act that way. I decided I want to quit doing trouble.

And if you ask for a conversation that is much better than if you just wait till they ask you. Don’t tell them what you feel about being misjudged. Don’t verbally attack. Just say you want to do better. And then really DO better. Prove that you really mean it. It’s difficult but you can get it if you really want.
