Some figures of authority think they can mess with average people just because they have to power to.

In this story, this boy had a hard time in school.

Apart from having ADHD, their principal would reprimand him for small, petty things, like doodling in his notebook.

His mom did not appreciate these incidents, so when the right time and opportunity came, it was his mom who got payback on his behalf.

Read the story below for the full details.

Don’t Mess With People’s Kids

This all started about 18 years ago, when I was 13.

At the grade school I attended, we just a got a new principal, and I’ll call him R.

This guy did not like me and my other 2 friends, but me especially.

This boy had a health condition that would make him focus on drawing.

I had ADHD and was medicated for it, but that only made me focus on whatever I chose to focus on, and that was always drawing.

Every notebook I had for every subject was filled with doodles.

This never affected my grades terribly.

I was an average B/C+ student, and there were subjects like history and science that I loved and always paid attention in and received A’s.

He received a pink slip that his parents should sign.

One day, during one of my doodle sessions in math class, my teacher got annoyed that I wasn’t paying close attention.

And wrote me up for drawing in class (classic pink slip to bring home to my parents).

This did not sit well with me as I had started to entered my rebellious teen phase, and I drew all over that pink slip.

Every inch that didn’t either have text or my parent’s signature was covered front and back with doodles.

The principal reprimanded him about the pink slip he drew on.

When I handed it back in the next day, my teacher looked annoyed by my smug smile and my total lack of care toward authority.

He just calmly put the pink slip in his desk and went on with class, and I continued to doodle.

Fast forward a couple of days, Principle R stops me in the hall and starts reprimanding about the drawing pink slip.

He threatened to call my parents over it and give detention.

He was sent to detention, and this annoyed his mom.

I told him, you see their signature.

They have obviously seen it, and that I didn’t care if I got detention because I would not stop drawing.

He gets mad and gives me detention.

This annoys my mother who believes that the whole situation was blown out of proportion.

Until 8th grade, the principal would always call him out for petty things.

This was not the only time we butted heads.

From 7th to 8th grade, I was constantly in his office.

Never for serious things, and always for stuff like being loud at lunch, not paying attention, or silly petty things.

He started applying to different high schools.

At the beginning of the second semester, we all started applying to the high school we wanted to go to.

This was private school, and the high school that everyone in the school went to was a private school.

So, we needed either a recommendation from the school administrators or you had to be interviewed to get in.

The principal didn’t give him and his 2 friends a letter of recommendation.

Well, Principle R refused to write a letter of recommendation for me or my two friends.

And we had to interview to get into the high school we wanted to go to.

We all were able to get in from our interview,

But this planted the seed of resentment in my mother and she never forgets anyone who messes with her or her children.

His mother got a position in the high school he was attending.

Now for the revenge:

Fast forward to 4 years, I graduate from the high school.

My mother had joined the administration board for the high school while I attended.

She had decision-making powers when it came to hiring at the school.

Even after I graduated, she maintained her position on the board because she also was an alumni of the high school.

Principal R applied to become the principal of the high school he attended.

The year after I left for college, the current Principal of the high school decided to leave his position.

During the search for a new Principal, R’s resume is submitted to the board for the position.

Like I said, my mother never forgets people who mess with her.

Principal R did not get the job.

Even though R was fully qualified and pretty much the top candidate, my mother convinced the rest of the board that he would be a terrible choice.

And they should hire an internal candidate (a current teacher) to become Principal.

Needless to say, he did not get the job.

And they had to move to a new city.

After this, he and his wife ended up moving to a new city because she had a job opportunity in a different city.

Fast forward to another 4 years, I graduate from college with a degree in Graphic Design (like I said, I never stopped drawing).

And my mother’s revenge plan is not over yet.

When R didn’t get the Principal job, she had still kept tabs on him.

His mother told Principal R everything.

He and his wife fell right into the palm of her hand for her final act of revenge.

She sends him an email telling him that the boys he antagonize when he was a Principal graduated with degrees, and all had jobs in their fields.

She also told him she was the reason he did not get the principal job at the high school.

She also said that the job that his wife has that they moved for was to work directly for my cousin who is now her boss.

What a revenge!
