That's kind of strange that no one got reprimanded...seems like something like that would fall under that Zero Tolerance policy that a lot of schools seem to (claim to) follow

1. Unless a lot of people got the idea that the break down was a result of the teasing, and they actually saw the guy and his friends doing it, I don't think it'll help. Unless a lot of your classmates take pity on you, but from what I remember of middle school the students weren't very sympathetic types :rolleyes2

2. I don't think so, at least not in any great detail. It's a "take the high road" situation imo.

3. The other guy sounds like a jerk, to put it lightly. Good luck

While it may not mean anything as far as lots of long-term recognition and scholarship and job opportunities go, I think it's pretty cool that you were one out of two people nominated out of your whole class. I'm sure it means a lot to you and your loved ones, and for now any recognition at all is great.
