I (13M) am an African American student at (lets call it radio junior high.) who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let me talk for most of the part, so i tried to be the bigger person and stand up in my seat and she got furious at me, telling me to stay in my place because i am but a child/teenager. So because i also talked to my dad about it he is furious at me too and i cant go to any fun school events for a bit, and because my mother is also African American.... im sure you can piece the parts together. but this moment alone made me contemplate my skin color and almost made me have suicidal thoughts because i had to also go get my stuff from my math class and because i have a horrible way of controlling my anger, i stormed into the class just stomping and saying things that were muffled under my voice, and because of that behavior people had distanced themselves away from me because i showed aggressive behavior, which is completely my fault. It also took a toll on my mental health and thinking if my peers hate me, if i am unwanted at this school, etc. Could i admit that i was wrong in parts of this? For sure. Could me, my peers, and even my own parents say that what they did (almost calling the police on me for no reason.) is F'ed up? For sure as well. So TL;DR I Almost had the police called on me because of an id and now i have restrictions for a bit now.
Ill check back in a bit to see if i got feedback.
