People need to learn fast today that what they post online or even in private groups even if it just to impress their mates, etc can come back to bite them on the bum even years later

He was probably just trying to impress friends and seem a lad, he likely didn’t even mean any of the things he said and in terms was harmless. Lads WhatsApp chats are brutal at that age, often no harm Is intended and it’s more of a shock value.
People often say things without Thinking/meaning it all the time And always have done , but with social media And messages now it is saved forever and can sadly be used against people.
I agree it seems harsh and isn’t given him the chance to grow up. Yes he should be punished and yes he should receive a final warning, but expellation seems harsh
