It's against my principals

What a grade-school student says in order to decline to do something that might likely get him in Dutch with the dreaded "men in the upstairs office", whether or not he himself actually feels morally repulsed by said request.

Telling someone that, "It's against my principals" can indeed be highly effective at getting said individual to quit pressuring you to misbehave; just be aware that some students and/or teachers may have "ins" with said powerful heads of the school, and so mentioning about them might not instill adequate concern in said bully to cause him/her to back off.

The Iron Price

This is a word that relates to the Game of Thrones series, in which "the iron price" was described as paying for something with blood, either one's own, or anothers. Iron is a major component in the make-up of a person's blood, and the iron price clearly relates to this; versus paying for something with gold, silver, or something else. See also, the Iron Bank of Braavos, which has a similar concept relating to it.

Instead of paying with gold and silver, the conqueror bled on the battlefield; paying the iron price.

One sixth-grade boy conversing with another on da playground: Sorry, Dude --- I can't slip you a textbook in class to help you get a better grade on your test; it's the principal of the thing."
