In Mildred Taylor’s Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, T.J. Avery is Stacey’s best friend, although the rest of the Logan children are wary of him and annoyed by him. Mrs. Logan is Stacey and T.J.’s teacher, and T.J. is always trying to get Stacey to help him cheat on tests by stealing the answers. Stacey says no, but T.J. cheats anyway. The first time T.J. cheats, he is nearly caught, but Stacey takes the blame. The second time, Mrs. Logan catches T.J. with cheat sheets on the final exam and fails him. To get back at her, T.J. tells the people at the Wallace store that Mrs. Logan had edited the textbooks given to her school by the school for white children. The Logan children find out what T.J. did and they refuse to talk to him; so do the rest of the children at school, and T.J. is left friendless and alone.

probably not, on most computers social media is blocked anyways. but if its not blocked and you can get it, i have a good feeling they would either write you up or contact your parents.
