If you're in high school my best advice to you is treat this as a proffessional problem. Either arrange a sit down with your teacher and the highest authority in school to address the problem. Or write a letter to the appropriate people in proper form. EITHER way, make sure your complaint is heard. If your topic was valid BEFORE the issues with the other student, and subsequently your topic is now banned because of the actions, then you have to make it clear to everyone your situation and what you think a fair course of action would be.
Dress nice for the meeting, speak intelligently, treat these people with respect and most importantly, dont be an asshole about ANYthing. If you disagree with something that they say, dont be adamant, work with it and see if you can swing it your way. You got fucked, you need to change that, but always remember the old adage of flys and honey. If you address this problem in a proper manner there's no reason why your school wont be willing to work for you. If anything lay it on THICK about your college situation. Believe me it looks great for the school when the students go directly to a 4 year univ right after grad.
Good luck man, it really sucks you couldnt use this oppurtunity to spread the light of LSD to everyone. If i were you, and it was a really nicely done paper, save that shit for college! No doubt you will be taking comp and other english classes, and once you get there the limitations on papers are usually endless in certain courses.

And I think every human being should be a conscious tool of the universe. . . . -JG i really am glad you came back to us instead of taking the other path. *hug* -A_S (RIP your final words to me will never be forgotten) Don't fuck with the laughing jesus.

Get a lawyer involved, if possible. Might not be worth your money, but often times one has friends of the family, or actual family that can help. If you sit down and talk in a professional manner with a lawyer, they'll not only take it seriously, they might just back down to not get publicity from this issue.

you dont even usually have to get your lawyer involved, i did have the advantage of being a spoiled child of a corporate leader, so money wasnt really an issue, and my mom is a hippy, so she would be all "you need to be behind your beliefs 100% and do what YOU think is right" so i had a lawyer to call... but if you mention it, they usually drop it, esp. if it is petty, and like coda said, and i assumed, there is no need to be a disrespectful asshole, that will get you no where, sell them

i see no need for a lawyer, if you need some extra help your parents would be the first step to take for assistance.

wrong parents mean nothing to the people that he is going to have to deal with these people are megalomaniacs by nature, in my experience, and a lawyer probably wont be necesary, but the mentioning of one may be

I think he's right Coda-I don't think my parents would have an impact on the administration-it might even put them under "suspicion." I LOVE this prohibition shit, don't you guys?
