Take that ... and that ... and THAAT!

So I just got home from the school. I calmed down enough so that I wouldnt get arrested by bringing my video camera to school. I dressed the baby got in the car and went with H. I walked in as the other students were arriving. Sat in the front hallway watching and learning as the one guidance counselor tried to keep order as the kids pushed their way in. H thinking I wasnt paying close attention began talking to another girl. The girl was holding a bottle of water, her skin on her face was tight and her little chin was poking out, the skin around her eyes sunken, I saw a pair of sad bulging eyes with rings of heavy black liner around them, she said I think I am going to puke today, my pants dont fit good enough. I turn to the counselor standing beside me who is trying to deal with several other students. Kids begin moving to their classes. I argue with H about getting to her class before the bell rings. She goes... baby in tow I begin the treck upstairs with the counselor. Barely making my way through the halls trying to keep the baby out of harms way through droves of teenagers, we make our way upstairs and into the middle of a brawl all I can think of is that movie Lean on Me. There are all kinds of kids, each different, extremely thin girls, 7th grade boys taller than the average man, gothic, preppy, sporty, you name it, they are all mixed in together fighting, making comments to one another, the fight is stopped and we make our way to the office. I sit down in the chair facing the receptionist that says she ordered h sweatshirt. I am exhausted just from 10 minutes in that environment. The principal is not there.The counselor leans over to me and says.. he goes into the woods in the morning. I said what for? She said oh to get the kids out of there that hide there after getting off the bus. I try not to look dismayed. He shows up and we go into the office. I say I apologize for barging in on you without an appt, I see you have your hands quite full. He says tell me whats going on. I tell him about the sweatshirt again. He trys to defend the his secretary, I get hot, I say its a crock of shit, you wouldnt accept this if it were your child. I say its now April and someones lying, its not about a sweatshirt, its a symbol of the hard work that my child put in. Needless to say we talked for an hour and I informed him of everything thats been going on. I let him know H got her first C in her entire time as a student and showed how all of the humilating behavior is affecting her life. I told him I will not tolerate it. He assures me that he will do what he can and that she will have her sweatshirt soon. I assured him that I would be a problem if he didnt take care of these problems. I asked him about an assembly for the kids to educate them all about eating disorders specifically. He said we dont have one but we will work on it. I said I would be happy to come present one along with medical professionals that I work with. I told him of the girl in the hallway. He said yes I know there are several girls that have dropped weight in the past few months and that he is concerned as well. The baby managed to rip apart one of his books, and a huge sports poster he had leaned against his desk.We made appointments for me to speak to h teachers about her dropping grades. Hopefully I can help her. The snow is coming down hard and I am ready for a nap.
