Java is required to download a lot of items from the internet. If you never download anything from the internet, you can remove Java.
You can remove Java 5 if you have Java 6 and Java 5 programs should still work on your machine. However, unless you are really strapped for hard drive space, which is unlikely given the size of hard drives nowadays, there's really no reason to remove Java 5.
If you don't install any programs which do not require Java, then there is no reason to have Java installed.
You should talk to whoever manages the software on school computers. They should be able to install Java for you, as long as you ask.
Try downloading the latest version of java from oracle. Actually Java is simply a language. It is a tool. It should not change your computer. Something is wrong with your computer if Java changes your computer. Usually it is not Java changing your computer but a virus latching onto Java. You must keep your antivirus software up to date and you must keep your Java up to date or you will have problems. If you have a MAC, apple has stopped supporting Java. Hackers are using it to hack into computers. Update it from Oracle or get rid of it.
Yes, you can uninstall the Java Runtime Environment from Microsoft Windows. If you are a user with sufficient privileges, you can use the "Add/Remove Programs" control panel to find and remove the "Sun Java" entry. This will not harm your computer.
The easiest way to check which version of Java is running on a computer is to ask Java directly. The website Java Tester has conveniently provided an applet which finds and displays the Java version currently used by the computer.
If you are wanting to remove Java altogether you should enter you control panel, go to programs and features. Search the list for Java, select it and then hit the uninstall button. If you are just trying to disable Java it varies by browser type so you will need to search through you toolbar options to find it and then disable it. Most recommend removing it as it is very unsecure.

No. Java is free software.
Java itself is 100% safe to have installed on your computer. Programs written in Java, however, may still harm your computer. Always look for user reviews before running ANY unknown program on your computer.
