I tried to sleep last night but got a phone call at 1am from a friend who had to testify against her mother in court. So at least your lack of sleep wasn't for too bad a reason. But I know how much it sucks. Hey, at least you get to look at hot naked girls on here when you can't sleep. Hope things get better for ya.
as much as you want to wail on these kids, remember too- alaska is #1 for alcoholism, and if these children are that bad, there have been problems at home for a long time. don't blame the kids. maybe sit them down and ask them what you can do to understand them better. call a meeting with the parents, with the principal. remind these children that even threatening harm is called intimidating a witness, and is a class B felony, punishable by 5 years in a federal prison.
and understand that they simply do not have the understanding of a loving and supportive family like you've had.
these children are quite likely fetal alcohol syndrome. and that is a heady issue, and causes so much horrid damage to the frontal lobes of the brain. which is our center for impulse control, consequence, and reward system.
reach out. do not push away. you may learn something in the process.
