Answer 1

You most certainly can, and likely will get into very serious trouble. Forgery can range from a misdemeanor to a felony depending on the circumstances. Perhaps the best way around this situation is to consult different doctors until you get the results you want.

Answer 2

Only school trouble but if its something more important like forging a name on a check yea youll get into legal trouble

Answer 3

I suspect your doctor is not being a "dick." Many high school and college wrestlers have had serious health problems from trying to make a weight that was inappropriate for their height and age.

Aside from the serious health issues that you might be causing yourself, you could also be causing yourself serious legal trouble. Since you are in high school, you are probably a juvenile and the school might decline to refer you to the juvenile authorities.

Engaging in similar conduct as an adult, however, would be considered to be a felony in most states. Having a felony on your record would substantially hurt your chances of obtaining employment at a job with any significant income.

Instead of whining about your doctor, I would encourage you to seriously talk with him/her about why he/she is not willing to sign a waiver. You might just have to live with wrestling in a higher weight class.

Answer 4

Your grammar suggests you needed an academic waiver also to be wrestling.
Go on-line or to your local public library and get information about your particular states legal statutes and see what your state defines as "Forgery". If you find "forgery" in the legal statutes and then you commit "forgery", then yes you should be held accountable under state statutes.
Oh, I just did a spell check and found no errors and I believe this is grammatically correct.

Answer 5

Think this through. Not only can you get in serious trouble for forgery, let's say it doesn't get caught right away and you get to wrestle, and then it comes out -- now, not only are you in trouble, your school is too. And even worse, say it comes out because you get hurt or injured or ill because you weren't fit to wrestle -- now you're not only in trouble, you're also hurt or sick, perhaps seriously.

Answer 6

Doctors take a dim view of their signature being forged, and will turn you over to the district attorney. Just do not do it.

Answer 7

I doubt that you'd get in legal trouble for that (most principals don't press legal charges,) but depending on the principal's leniency, it may get you suspended/expelled. Personally, I wouldn't do it... doctors know what they're talking about, and if yours is telling you that you shouldn't wrestle, he has a good reason.

Answer 8

Falsification is the crime committed by someone who forges the signature of another.

Answer 9

yes you can get in legal trouble for forging.

Answer 10

Not if you forge it well enough
