Not quite.
The first amendment says that the government cannot establish any laws restricting speech. It has limitations to it, though - hate speech and words that can be seen as inciting are not covered by this.
And it doesn't mean you can say whatever you want without consequence at all.
And it definitely doesn't mean that opinions cannot be factually wrong.
Aren't you the one that has your parents bribing you to get decent grades?

The First Amendment prohibits the making of any law that impedes the free exercise of religion, restricts freedom of speech, impedes freedom of the press, impedes the right to peaceably assemble, or restricts petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances.
The First Amendment does not apply to you in any way, only the American governments on federal, state, and local levels.
It is not a free pass to say whatever you like. It only states that the government can't pass a law that puts you in jail for saying what you like.
And implying I "threatened" my way through high school is a bit silly, coming from someone who has to be bribed to go to school.

At least bribing sounds less dangerous than threatening. Even if I wasn't bribed, I'd still go to school because I ain't stupid enough to piss off the law.

Then why not go tell your parents to stop bribing you to do something you should be - and would be - doing on your own anyway?
Also, I personally have never witnessed GK threaten anyone. Not that threatening people will get you through school anyway.

If I did that, I would no longer have a quick way to save up enough money to get new videogames. Even when I'm not at school, I still get paid but that's only during summer vacation. As long as I do my chores each week during summer break, I get paid.
Unless a teacher was chicken enough.

So basically you're okay with cheating your family to get things you don't need and can easily live without? That's pretty pathetic.
Still not likely.

Boy, getting paid for chores. I kind of remember that...And how ridiculous are you? Any decent school, a student attempting to threaten a teacher gets booted out on their ass. Real life doesn't work like teen fantasy.
I didn't even get that, chores are simply things that needed to be done and we didn't get paid for them. Money we wanted for anything more than necessities we had to earn by doing extra stuff.
God, I wish it was so simple as "Turn up at school, get $20 for the week". That'd be awesome. I wouldn't have to pay for gas for my commute!
