Okay, so tomarrow is the last day of one of my art classes, so we are having a party. Our teacher said that if we wanted to, we could bring treats, drinks, ect.
Anyway, I was talking to some of my classmates and I was asking them what they were bringing tomarrow. All the ones I talked to (almost all of them) said they were bringing nothing.
I plan on bringing a nice big bag of chips and maybe some cookies. The thing is, some of my classmates can be extremely cruel. They sometimes make fun of me for no reason and they were even spraying water at me today at the cleaning sink.
Anyway, I was thinking, should I share my treats with my evil classmates? I was thinking that if I didn't bring them, it would show them if you teach someone like crap you won't get anything in return. But I know that if I don't give them some, they will insult me even more!
What would be proper etiquette? I don't want to stoop to their level, but I don't want them to walk all over me!

Oh, and I am a very good student with straight A's.

Well, proper etiquette dictates that you should continue to be a "step-on", "doormat", push-over", etc,
HOWEVER,
If I were you, I would keep my cookies to myself and when your jerk-classmates start to be jerks, you should say, "Oh, I forgot. So what did YOU bring?"
Why should you be anything but civil to jerks who harass you. Don't worry, life gets MUCH better after High School, because all the nice people get together and have really great parties. hee-hee. I know I did...
Or, you could pick out some classmates who are nice to you, and invite them to your house, or out to coffee...That would be fun.
Hey...Don't spend YOUR money, or your PARENT'S money on a**holes. You deserve better.

Realize that by getting great grades and being concerned about etiquette, you'll have the career/partner/home/etc. of your choice while your loser classmates are hooked up with a loser from high school, living in a broken-down trailer and asking, "do you want fries with that?"
As for the party, do whatever you want to do. You're the one that should be setting the standard, not them.
Etiquette-wise, if you bring treats, share them. But if it's optional, you certainly don't need to. I'd say don't. The reason is because if these girls are treating you crappy and you bring them treats it may just reinforce their crappiness.

You sound enthused about the class and the party on the last day. Do it your way. You wanted to bring food, so do it. As one person already said, be the bigger person. It's a gesture made in good faith on your part, celebrating the successful completion of the course with your classmates (evil and not-so-evil) as well as a note of respect and appreciation toward your instructor, thanking him/her for their time and effort.
You will not regret bringing something, though you may regret it later if you don't - especially if others who told you they weren't bringing anything think better of their decision prior to the party and bring something after all.

Your first instinct was to bring food and I would just go with it. If possible, make sure that the teacher and the students that were nice to you get first dibs. Maybe you could put your items in a part of the room where they are less likely to be sabotaged.
You had fun in this course and did well. Try and have your last day be happy in spite of them. Don't concern your self with them. Concentrate on what it is you need to do to make your life better and to get a head. The best revenge you can do is to have a successful life and day in spite of them. Pray for them and move on.

Whatever you decide to take in be sure there is enough to share with everyone. If your the only one that brings anything so be it. You'll be rising above them instead of stooping to their level.

No, not where I come from - Scotland - its not because we are mean - that's a standing joke, but flower delivery men here are not one of the recognised "trades" to tip - like - posties at Christmas, and waitresses etc. But if you feel generous when your beautiful flowers arrive, nothing to stop you - I would probably do it myself.

I would go about your plans. You wouldnt be stooping to their level. They dont appreciate things like you do. Besides, you should live life the way you want to dont change for anyone. Be yourself.

Make them a nice batch of ex-lax cookies. Serve some coffee and watch the fun begin.

bring the food and decide what to do when you get there, if people bring food, then bring yours in... if not just pretend like you didn't bring any.

Either you can be the good angel in this case and combat evil with good or you can just seek revenge and mix pepto-bismol into the cookies
