Today, I almost got expelled for bringing a weapon to school. The "weapon"? A yellow travel-size hairbrush. FML

Hello! OP, here. I appreciate the comments, especially the hilarious sarcasm and puns haha! :D So here's the full story: I just came out of the gym after P.E. (before the bell rang so everybody was still in class) and there was this kid like 30 ft away (going to the bathroom, I assume) and since my hair was really messy, I took out my brush, which is one of those full-size brushes that folds. So apparently this kid thought I had a pocket knife or a switchblade or something because of the way I unfolded the brush (image the same motion you would use to crack a whip or flick a wand or whatever - that's how I opened it because my hands were full). Also, I guess the kid thinks that I brush my hair with a yellow knife...? Anyway, he reported me. I got sent to the Dean and I explained what happened and showed him the "weapon." Luckily, he believed me and not that shit-for-brains kid, so I didn't actually get expelled.

It's okay OP, I got detention once in 2nd grade for bringing a knife to school so that I could make a sandwich at lunch time

I would have loved to hear the kid's story to the Dean. "So, I saw someone take a switchblade out in the bathroom, open it up, and threaten their hair with it."

I hope this kid had the best intentions. Last week at school I learned that if you report something to Crime Stoppers, they pay you. I'm glad you weren't punished!

That sucks, but I do think the kid did the right thing by reporting it if they thought that was what they saw. Safe than sorry right?

and that's why there is no common sense I the world today

The only thing that "weapon" will help you defend against is a bad hair day

Must have been carved like a prison shank!!

What? At my school, they hand out plastic knives whenever we order lunch.. this doesn't make sense

What a joke! Someone bought in a crossbow into my school and the school did nothing yet someone brandishes a hairbrush and almost gets expelled

He was probably the kid of a rich family, schools love to give special treatment to snobby rich kids. (don't get me wrong though, there can be nice rich people)

F all our lives. Pansy ass society needs to chill the hell out.

I agree, everyone needs to learn to respect guns and knives and maybe they won't fear them so much. When I was a kid, 8th graders could buy and make crossbow kits in shop. Now days you get suspended for a little plastic knife.

your school is smart then I almost killed a kid with one

I call b.s. unless it was one with a pointed handle.

Travel size? Suggesting it goes through airports on a daily it should not be a problem at all to go to school.Your school is meant to teach you common sense not paranoia.

I was walking to the school bathroom last year and the principal stopped me and wouldn't let me go to the bathroom because I was carrying a 'weapon', it was a plastic lamp with no sharp edges. It was what the teacher used as a bathroom pass..
