In my area - yes. Until you kids learn that the internet isn't secure, social networks aren't secure, snapchat isn't secure, NONE of these apps ya'll use are in the least bit secure... You will get busted. Simple. I'll say it again: our youth is not getting smarter. They're getting dumber by the second. You DON'T take pictures of yourself breaking the law, put them on social media and then expect not to get busted, k?
yes.
Of course they can. You were committing a crime and they have proof. Not to mention how stupid that is for your future, including jobs and college. You are lucky that's all they did.
Get lawyer.
the school has no right to suspend you for out-of-school activities unless they directly effect the school.
In our school people won't get suspended for this. Why? because the school authorities have no control over what we do outside of school. So I don't see how it's even fair for you they're going to suspend you for this. It's as if I was out on week-ends screaming that I hate some teacher and they'd suspend me for it...
