The school computers (all except for one) run Windows. I was the only one in the school to volunteer to use the Mac and I do now :3 It's fun.
And I'll try booting my Xubuntu disk with Gparted to fix it.

You continue to miss what Comic said. If it's reading fine on the school's computers, than it is probably not the flash drive or it's file system that are at fault. You can try using disk utilities, but it's more likely the problem is with your computer. However, there were other questions asked that you haven't answered yet. What file system is it running? Have you used other usb drives or devices on that port on your computer? It would be a much clearer picture if we knew these things.

That. Did OS X say the drive had to be formatted? If the drive was NTFS that dialog likely popped up. Assuming it did, follow the steps below.
Command+Space and start typing "Disk Utility," when it pops up press enter. Locate the drive and find it on the side in the list of drives. The Format of the drive should not be Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled) if you wish to support Windows; there will only be four options, the two Mac OS File Systems, Fat32 and ExFAT (Which I think is not available on any Mac OS before Lion).
If it is, copy the contents to a folder on the computer, and select Erase from the Tab selection above, it should also list RAID, First Aid, Restore, and even partition if you select the volume and not the "partition." But, select the second option for the drive, the "partition." Once everything is backed up on the computer, erase the drive as MS-DOS FAT 32.
Move everything back and you can open the drive on every computer that can read FAT32, which should be every common OS out there.
