A Broken Mistake
This is a classic example of failing to own up to your mistakes. Unfortunately, this person blamed a broken school door on an innocent student who was nearly expelled. While I’m certain the consequences were severe, almost-expulsion aside, if the person had been honest and admitted his mistake, perhaps the repercussions would have been less harsh.

Especially if it was an accident. Accidents happen all the time. Or maybe this person purposefully broke the door as an act of teenage aggression. If so, why? What’s the point? Regardless, they should not have placed the blame on an innocent classmate. Own up to what you do. Take accountability, learn from it, and grow.
