Is sending a prank email committing identity theft?

Sunday

My friend and I sent an email to another kid, saying that they failed 8th grade. My friend set it up so that it looked like it was from the school. Now somehow that kid that we sent it to found out and is saying I broke the law. I looked it up, and it could be considered identity theft, but that is more stealing credit card numbers, etc. I am a minor. What do you think?
OK, i know it was dumb, so you don’t have to tell me that.

I think you pulled a stupid prank and deserve some punishment.

    That could be considered identity theft. Identity theft is ANYTIME you are pretending to someone else. You could be in some serious trouble.

    I think you need to be more careful, the greatest lesson you learn in is: Don’t get caught.

    If he decides to tell, you may get suspended possibly expelled. You may have to apologize before this blows up and gets out hand. The way everyone sues everyone else these days, it probably was not a great idea. Man up and say sorry and hopefully it ends there, assuming that you and the other kid are not enemies.
