At least twice that I remember, both times for standing up to bullies. The bullies got suspended. Then there’s the time when I was a high school Freshman and one of the older guys sent me to the nurse, who sent me home. Only I didn’t go straight home; the relative who picked me up had to run some errands in town first. When we did get home, I learned that the principal had been _calling_ to find out exactly what happened. He was concerned that there was a fight in the locker room; I told him that it was just some horsing around which got out of hand and there wasn’t really anything to be concerned about. Which was pretty much true. Between school & home, I got dropped off at an arcade to kill time. I was so keyed up on adrenaline that I topped the high score list on _Battlezone_, beating the second highest by some ridiculous amount. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/principals-office/923332)._
