Lol nope no problems. Well actually yea kinda. In middle school this kid...if I would so much as brush past him in the hallway, he would run to a teacher like a 2 year old and say, "Mrs. Josephson, Joe is harassing me." Just to piss me off.H e also made constant threats to sue me. Most annoying kid ever.
Thank you for listening.

What are you talking about? I feel much better when I do something wrong and get away with it.

After all of that, take a 5 week "working vacation" from school. That should show them you mean business.

I don't really get what all the fuss is about here. All kids cross the line at some point, all kids get caught sometimes, all kids get into trouble sometimes. If you get into trouble accept it, its part of school life, everyone i knew back at school got into trouble for something or other.
The question is, do any of the IT people at your school read MR?

Screw that. You always have to weigh it. It doesn't always make sense to tell ALL the truth. I once got suspended from school because nobody believed the truth I was telling, so screw always telling the truth. Especially with people like a principal, etc.
If it were your family, friends, gf or respected teacher, prof., etc. it would be different but random people? The trick is not to lie but to portray the truth from a different angle. Two advantages, a lot more believable and secondly even if you're caught they cannot get you for lying although it is border-line. I'm not advocating lying but if you learned your lesson and don't do it again what's the point in getting punished on top of that? Especially for stuff pretty much everyone does when they're young?
Only thing is that you know that it is wrong and you learn from it.
I may have missed it in a previous post, but did the school issue the iBooks and say "iChat has been blocked, don't use it" or anything to that effect?
If not I can't see using it was wrong in any way.
How you used it is a matter for what instructions were given governing use of the school's property and the context in which you impersonated the principle.
Then there is of course the matter of how they could prove it was you, does this get recorded on the iBook? was it done and recorded on their network? could someone else have done this from your iBook??
I worked in a bank that prevented any changes to system settings etc. but I worked out a way round it (really quite easy). When questioned I had no problem admitting it 'cause I'd done nothing illegal or questionable from an ethics point of view other than the workaround and they'd never said we shouldn't attempt workarounds anyway. The only advice given when you tried to access blocked items was "Unavailable" not "KEEP OUT".
In the end they were, I think, pleased that I was finding the stuff they missed while not acting maliciously so they could tighten-up security.

Telling the truth is good and all...and it's what (almost) everyone will tell you to do, but in dealing with school administrations and disciplinary action, the whole truth isn't always the best path. Too often it ends like this:
*truth is told*
"Great...thanks for telling us the truth, it really says a lot about your character, but we have no choice but to punish you much harder than you would have been punished if we hadn't known the full extent of what you did."
Anyway, you didn't ever activate iChat, and you don't know how, you just used AIM Express...right?

I second that. Its amazing how far playing stupid and denying things can get you. Is there any chance it was given to another student before you had it? Because if so, I'm reasonably sure thats the one who did it...
