<p>@preamble1776 Do you live in the ghetto? Man, that sucks. Feel bad for ya.</p>
<p>I don’t live in the ghetto, per se. More like a very diverse working class city which has fallen on hard times. I’m pretty isolated from all of it. Plus, because of how lousy the school is, my 3.7 GPA puts me in the top 10 of my graduating class of 500. You take the good with the bad.</p>
<p>I haven’t been in a fight since middle school. Although I punched someone in the face during freshman Spanish and the teacher didnt do anything.</p>
<p>Despite our schools bad rep, there aren’t that many fights here. We’re pretty chill out here.</p>
<p>The violence here is quite entertaining. There will often be fights during lunch, so we get food AND a show.</p>
<p>I come from a land of greater maturity.</p>
<p>When I was in 9th grade there were quite a few fights. I actually witnessed one that involved someone getting hit across the head with a chair at lunch. another fight ended up in some kid getting his jaw broken so my school was all over the news.
10th grade there were a few, none that I witnessed.
11th grade so far I don’t think there’s been any. Normally they happen once every 2-3 weeks I’d say.</p>
<p>This is pretty entertaining. I’ve gone 2 days without a fight so yay. Also I just reread my first reply and realized my grammar is awful and i promise I don’t actually sound that dumb. :)</p>
<p>Guys don’t really get in fights at my school, but the girls…oh my. 5 or 6 teachers have to try to break them up. But this doesn’t happen often sooo it’s not a big deal</p>
<p>I hear about fights all the time in my school, but I’ve never seen one. I’m too focused on other things to notice one. Well except for this time in my freshmen art class where two guys were grappling each other, and one of them kept slamming the other’s head on one of the tables. But that was years ago.</p>
<p>My school is in a fairly good area, but regardless, we have a lot of fights - that is, if there isn’t one a day, the administration is surprised. In the past, there have even been shootings here, but luckily, that’s before I was a freshman.</p>
<p>metsfan, I can relate! I quite literally had to pick my way over a torn-out weave on my way to class yesterday, hah.</p>
<p>preamble, I’m in trig right now, and I just burst into laughter after reading your post. The girls at my school are also “ratchet” incarnate.</p>
<p>My school has fights, well, I don’t want to say often, but they’re not exactly uncommon. Mostly between girls. I only remember hearing about one or two so far this year, but it’s still early.</p>
<p>The most memorable story came from when I wasn’t even in school: We were attending a Great Americans Day seminar at UPJ with my APUSH teacher and two of our principals. Midway though the seminar, our principal got called back to the school and my teacher had to drive him back to the school. Apparently, the school went crazy that day and there were like over a half-dozen fights. My friends said there were people rolling on the ground by their lunch table.</p>
<p>Most memorable fight? Freshman lunch. Two girls. As the fight is ending, one girl rips out another girl’s weave and, while being restrained by security, spun it around like a lasso. Will never forget that.</p>
<p>There are almost no fights at my school. Some years ago a student was attacked by another student with a knife but apart from that nothing serious happened there for a long time.</p>
<p>Weave lasso! That is hilarious! Today there were two fights but I was only able to see one. There at the end of the day in the bus parking with about 70 or kids surrounding them. I calmly get on my bus and just stare out while everyone is screaming and pulling phones out. Nobody got tazed sadly.</p>
<p>Jesus, yes. Just a few hours ago I was on my way to ask my teacher for a rec letter, and a horrible fight broke out right next to me in the hallway. Screaming, cussing, hair pulling, our principal got pretty badly bruised trying to break it up.</p>
<p>Not to be racist- or sexist- but I’m a senior and I’ve only seen one fight at my school that hasn’t been between black girls. There’s at least three fights a week, and every year there’s at least one “Fight Friday” where there are around eight or nine fights on one day. Last fight friday it was so bad that you could feel the mace in the air all over the school.</p>
<p>^^</p>
<p>Almost every single fight at my school involves black girls. The amount of weave that I have to navigate through is crazy.</p>
<p>Most memorable fight: six girls fought due to some gang territory crap. It was three on three, and when the teachers attempted to restrain them, they got even crazier. My science teacher that year injured her elbow, and an algebra teacher was hit numerous times on the head.</p>
<p>I have never seen a fight. However, I used to attend school on the other side of town, which is the wealthier “more desirable” side. There was tons of sexual harassment and drugs. People did heroin there, and ecstasy was popular. But the sexual stuff is why I asked for an in-district transfer. The boys were touching the girls, reaching in their shirts, threatening them, following them, etc. If a girl complained, she was given in school suspension. I was given in school suspension for complaining. My parents got a lawyer and threatened to sue. The district settled out of court with a district transfer. My parents went for it because they said no one ever wins in court against the school and it would take years and a ton in legal bills to sue. The ISS is not on my record now also. I have been told the sexual stuff and the drugs are still rampant at that school. Where I am now, just a few miles from that school, a world of difference. I am talking 2-3 miles apart.</p>
<p>^ Girls got suspended if they complained about being harassed? That’s so stupid. That’s almost like saying a boy could get away with rape and not get in trouble… -_-</p>
<p>No but my previous school was horrible. There was AT LEAST one fight a day, and once there were 17 students suspended on one day before noon. There was even supposed to be a shooting once because of racial issues. So glad I don’t go there anymore.</p>
<p>it’s not so easy to see a fight at my school,people here are very kind.at least,i have never seen those things.</p>
