I can feel for this kid, but come on, this statement did him more harm then good. When you scare Joe Sixpack, you get nailed. Is it wrong/stupid/crazy how hard they nail you? Most certainly. However scared people don't act in rational ways, as I learned first hand this last year from my own run ins.

The1 needs to take 2 lessons from this:

1- Talk, draw, teach, but never do anything on a school computer, especially when they are already on to you.

2- Don't let this stop you from being what you are: a smart creative kid. Just be smarter about how you do it. Using Proxy Server means you most likely changed some Admin settings, and that will get you screwed, even if it was just a proxy server.
