Parody is not slander or libel.
But, the school can certainly suspend you for inappropriate behavior. It happens all the time when students post inappropriate or threatening material on social networking sites. |

Slander is spoken words only.
Libel is any published material - and myspace is counted in that.
If you said ANYTHING that is not true, you can be sued for libel.
Whether it's true or not, you must take it down immediately.
It is rude, thoughtless, selfish, stupid, and mean.
Why didn't your parents teach you any better than this?
I don't care if it's "funny" or not.
You are a pig. |

Since it's in the media, it would be libel. Since you are underage, your parents would be responsible.
You could suffer repercussions not only outside of school, but at school as well.
I would suggest you take it down. |

Judging by your sloppy writing style and the context in which your question is written it could be reasonably assumed that you are a juvenile. If that is the case, you would do well to show your parents what you have done and ask for their instruction. By doing this now, and in the future you will have a better chance of turning out to be a productive member of the community.
If the statements you made are false, then in many jurisdictions your parents could be sued for actual damages> If the statements you made are both false and malicious, the teacher could be awarded punitive damages (punishment). Your parents could lose their house, your college fund, and their life savings. Tortuous damages are not dischargeable in bankruptcy, as such you could, with a few keystrokes, ruin your parents lives and lose your inheritance.
I have referenced a couple of examples of teachers suing students below. |

you cant get sued for slander because slander is just a spoken falsehood
but because its published you can be sued for libel depending on how unappropriate the page is |

how old are you, like, 12? assuming you are under 18 (seems like a fair conclusion here), you would not get sued but your parents might. |
