at school last thursday i was trying to get through a crowd of people in the hallway so i pushed my way through and gave them the finger as i ran away because i wanted to to get to a football game that i was playing in. Then i heard a teacher say 'hey' and i kept on running even though i knew i was caught. She try to run me down but i was expecting to get at least 30 min of detention on monday because we had friday off. When monday came i asked one of the people who i pushed out of the way if a teacher really did yell at me forgiving the finger just to make sure. he said yes and told me which teacher it was. But she hasn't approached me yet to punish me. she might have forgotten but i feel guilty because if i was punished then there is a chance that i would miss some football practice after school or be late for a game this week. What should i do?

Don't push people, and don't give them the finger. Both are rude and needlessly uncivilized.

There, that's the lesson the teacher would have given you, and that's what the point of the detention probably would have been. Got it?

First off, you shouldn't have been running and pushing people and giving them to finger. That's just being an asshole and gives you a bad look. Doing something like that gets you in trouble and isn't needed because it's uncivilized as SAM said.

The teacher had every right to run you down because you were running and giving fellow students the finger. So, you really do deserve punishment. But, you do feel guilty about it so I would go and apologize to that teacher and promise him/her that it will never happen it again.

if someone pushed me and gave me the middle finger, i would want them punished. the people in the hallway have no control over the traffic flow, they are waiting to get through just like you are, and pushing them is assaulting someone for something that isn't their fault.

I deal with a lot of rude folks every day, I wouldn't much mind being pushed a bit (especially in a crowd) and fingered. If you figure you've learnt your lesson, then don't bother lookin' for punishment.

Agreed.
Whats the point of turning yourself in, as long as you understand what would have been taught to you?
Just don't do it again.
You can get a round just as fast, probably faster, by going with the flow.

No I think you need to talk to the teacher. It's good that you feel some regret about it but still just saying I learned my lesson and that's punishment enough isn't good enough. Just talk to the teacher and apologize they don't want to get you in trouble they just want to teach you and if you show them that you did learn from the experience you might not get in trouble.

I think that what you did was wrong. I can understand pushing to get to somewhere you needed to go. Our hallways are crammed and sometimes a little shoving is necessary to get through a crowd. Especially if you are smaller in stature. So I can understand that.

As far as giving the finger. That made no sense. People aren't gonna be hurt by it so why give it? It only got you in trouble.

So since you already had detention and you have kinda been punished just leave it. Just forget about it. You got away with something that you shouldn't do again. A lot of people don't have chances like that. The teacher may have forgotten or something. If she didn't and she sees you and disiplines you then just take it because you know you did it. Just go to detetion or listen to the lecture and go about your life. Without flicking people off for no reason. ;)

Good luck :D

Ahhh, the corridor jam. Well, in most schools i expect it runs like mine does.
It's how the indian's run there roads in their country. The bigger you are, you have right of way. If there's a corridor full of people, the bigger ones, that's me now, so it's quite easy for me, barge through without any trouble. Generally we do it becuase we had to put up with it for years, and no midgets can answer back!

Anyway, if your stuck in a crowd, don't barge through, and giving them the finger, will probably get you either beaten up, or get you put in detention, or both.
SO, don't hand yourself in because what's the point, and listen to your teachers, that's the main problem in schools now, there's not enough respect for teachers.

I mean, there still humans right, there the same as us, just older.

Uh that sounds like my school.
Middle School and High School jammed together.
Hallways are about as wide as a bathroom stall.
Yeah you gotta push a little, but for someone like me, if I did something like you did.
I'd get beat for it.
So I think you should just own up to it.
Most times teachers dont punish you when youre honest.
