Reading your earlier posts, these appear to be accidental errors of judgement. Are you sure there weren't any silly pranks or dares you partook in?
Eg - once suggested that we should sing the wrong hymn at assembly of April 1st. Being a hard nosed RC school, this let to around 20 of us in the 6th form being excluded for a couple of days and a year 11 lad not only being booted out, but also being given the cane

Victim comes out, sees the burning bag instinctively kicks the bag full of sweet violets away and gets slipper covered in crap as the bag splits open!
We had it done to us a few times.

I certainly did! Got banged up in Nigeria for a couple of weeks before being deported in handcuffs. My mistake was getting caught!
