sorry guys for not responding earlier, during vacations i can get on the net almost everyday except friday and sunday, but on school days only on saturdays(at least to AO) as an answwer to evil moo, i really cant learn how to program very much, cause my parents limited my home comp time to an hour,or else i would learn. to firestarter Boing was an old hack group that mixed their newsletters w/funny stories and tutorials NO PORN. and to the person who asked what i was learn this stuff for: the answer is both to learn how to hack and how to protect. the reason im interested in computers at all is because of the challenge and the love to learn about them. hacking to me isnt going and destroying files, or vandalism, when i hack its for experience and the challenge, its also to learn; thats also the reason i like helping my school out.

Simple solution, explain the situation to your Net. Admin. If there's anyone who would understand, it's going to be him/her. From someone who deals with school administrators on a daily basis. If you try to explain it to your principal, you'll just freak them out, or they won't believe you. If the Net. Admin backs you, more then likely it'll just be brushed off. (Most school admins don't know **** about computers, so when net. admins start talking, they glaze over, and they just want all the scary words to end.)
Convince the Net Admin, and you've won half the battle.

This is really f***** up, and very unfair to you. I agree with what the others here have replied so far. In addition try explaining to your parents why you have these things at home. Tell them that you are very interested in computers and computer security and everything else related to that. Explain to them what a "hacker" actually is. A hacker is not someone who just breaks into systems and does evil, although thats what most of the mass media and peeps think. Explain that the hacking stuff found at your home has not harmful intentions. Try explaining to your parents and your admin the following:
You are very interested in computer security. You want to learn all about system administration meaning that you have to explore and study everything you can get your hands on realated to computer security. Tell them that a hacker is not an evil person, but someone who....uhm, hold on.
Quote:
There is a community, a shared culture, of expert programmers and networking wizards that traces its history back through decades to the first time-sharing minicomputers and the earliest ARPAnet experiments. The members of this culture originated the term `hacker'. Hackers built the Internet. Hackers made the Unix operating system what it is today. Hackers run Usenet. Hackers make the World Wide Web work.
The hacker mind-set is not confined to this software-hacker culture. There are people who apply the hacker attitude to other things, like electronics or music -- actually, you can find it at the highest levels of any science or art. Software hackers recognize these kindred spirits elsewhere and may call them "hackers" too -- and some claim that the hacker nature is really independent of the particular medium the hacker works in.
There is another group of people who loudly call themselves hackers, but aren't. These are people (mainly adolescent males) who get a kick out of breaking into computers and phreaking the phone system. Real hackers call these people `crackers' and want nothing to do with them. Real hackers mostly think crackers are lazy, irresponsible, and not very bright, and object that being able to break security doesn't make you a hacker any more than being able to hotwire cars makes you an automotive engineer. Unfortunately, many journalists and writers have been fooled into using the word `hacker' to describe crackers; this irritates real hackers no end.
The basic difference is this: hackers build things, crackers break them.

:
Try explaining to them that anything related to the deep depths of computers, networking and security can be in a way called hacking. In order for you to learn computers and computer security its essential that you also once in a while read stuff related to hackers or hacking.
Make those differences very clear to your parents. Tell them that you love computers and want to learn everything about them.
I wish you the best of luck.
