What Happens if You Get Caught With Alcohol at School?

Question by Weird: What happens if you get caught with alcohol at school?
[rewrite]First off I just want to clarify , that I’m not bringing wine everyday. I don’t really like it, but I have to drink it. I have this social anxiey , and it’s getting bad. It’s really strong towards public speaking and going on the board. I think I’m going Insaine . Every time the teacher is going to pick someone , I get so scared. Everything seems 3d and I feel like I will fall and I can’t look up. It’s terrible! I can’t live like this. Soon it’s going to be this math presentation . Which includes explains the poster and doing a problem on the board. I can’t do that. Last time I got called to the board, I turned real red and couldn’t speak . My legs were shaking bad , as long with my hands. It was so humiliating. It’s gotten so bad that when there are assembles if I’m near the front row , I feel so akward I don’t know what to do . I feel like I will fall or jump and I have to look at the floor with my eyes closed , holding onto something. I know it’s not normal . Now,Im thinking of killing myself . I have started cutting myself, but I have stopped for now . My dad is an alcoholic so yeah. I’m not into drugs or beer , but what choice do I have? I Just want to disappear . The last times I brought wine , I didn’t get caught. I put it in a water thing. You can’t see inside. I don’t want to go to juvie or something . I’m not that kind of person and will never be. What will happen if I do get caught ?
