I'm in so much trouble?!?! *PLEASE read*?

[866]

I already know I did an awful thing, there's no need to remind me. It would mean so much to me if you read this and answered it...


So last December, me and 4 of my friends were kinda mean to this girl, Clair. We would tell one another about how stupid she was and how she only got good grades because her mom negotiated with her teachers (which may or may not be true, we aren't sure). But we NEVER said anything to Clair's face, or to anyone but each other. We would privately message one another about Clair on twitter (DM). Somehow Clair found out, but we felt so guilty that we sicncerly apologized and she forgave us. But apparently, one of the 4 girls who i had been messaging back and forth with on twitter showed Clair's father a mean message that I sent about Clair. Then, he COMPLETLEY blew up. He showed my cheer coach, (who is also Clair and my other friends coach) the message and I was kicked off the cheer squad. He showed my school principal, and Im currently suspended from school. All of my friends pretended not to have taken any part of this, and are now teaming up with Clair to form an anti bullying campaign. None of them got in any trouble!! My picture was in the school newspaper with the headline, "Bully is finally put to a stop". I can't even leave my house without people giving me dirty looks, and I had to delete all of my social networking accounts because I couldn't bear to look at any more pictures of kids wearing "Justice for Clair" tee shirts. At the end of the month, the school has arranged a meeting between me, my parents, Clair and her parents, my friends and their parents and my cheer coach. At the meeting, I'm going to be "punished for my decision" and it will be determined whether or not I will be allowed to continue at my current school. So basically, I'm going to this meeting to verbally have the sh*t beat out of me by people who used to care about me. What can I do about my situation? Moving is not an option. Any advice is appreciated.
