I told the nervous boy in the principal's office that the principle was a Hell's Angel
Why are you trying to scare him like that?
I thought he needed his share of fear induced comments.
While you believe this was the best way to handle the situation, most people would disagree with you here and believe that you took it too far. Lying to children just to scare them can be considered pretty messed up.
Nah he deserved to be scared.
I'm sure that just being in the principles office was scary to the young boy. Are you sure you wouldn't want to apologize for how you made him feel so that others don't think less of you?
