Teen appeals suspension for giving his teacher a noogie.

Hi,
How should I interpret "appeals" in the above? Does it mean "asks for" or "brings upon?" Thanks.

Thanks, Mister.

But apply for review of a case or particular issue is not very easy to catch on; are there more alternatives that are easy to understand?

Yet you think 'noogie' is easy to understand? I don't know what it is-- and I don't want to know!

Try these:

Teen asks school to reconsider suspension for giving his teacher a noogie.
Teen asks school to cancel suspension for giving his teacher a noogie.

Thanks, Mister.
Now I get it.
"Noogie" is also new to me, but I could google its pictures and clips. And it's easy to get the picture. It's fun and part of American cultures as long as it's done to your close friends, I guess.
