Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas
I'm only 16 years old and am in highschool. Earlier today, I accidentally knocked a classmates bag off my desk. Everyone around saw that it was an accident. It broke her camera screen and cracked the top of her ipod. The dean is making me replace both items. Is that fair? The same girl is trying to beat me up and made a scene in front of a teacher telling me how she was going to "kick my a**". What can I do? I'm expected to pay for a girl who wants to beat me?

Yes. You caused the accident that broke the items. Whether it was an accident or not or whether someone is going to kick your butt doesn't matter. You caused the breakage and are responsible - welcome to the adult world. It pays to act in a careful manner and to do no harm.
