<p>Some of you make me feel good about how i’m only seeing 2 a day and others I’m jealous of your kind people. But then again my school has around 2k people (about 100 over capacity) and is the only traditional high school in one of the fastest growing areas in my state. I did hear about one boy stabbing another boy in the butt at their home while fighting over the computer and I do believe they go to my school. So that’s the kind of people that go to my school.</p>
<p>I’ve only remembered about 5 or 6 fights in High School. My school is mostly Hispanic (80%) and the rest are Asian (18%) and we have only about 10 total black and white kids at our school. That being said, my school is the best in our district and comparable to other top schools in our area that are mostly Asian.</p>
<p>Probably depends more on the area and how the school is run than being a factor of being high school. I went to middle school and high school in different places, at there were a lot of fights at my middle school but not really in high school. Usually just with fists or bricks (there was this pavilion thing that was falling apart where you could just pull bricks off of it) but a few times with knives (and it was always a big deal whenever it happened). There were sometimes fist fights at my high school but even those were pretty rare, and never brick or knife fights.</p>
<p>There was some kind of fight going on at my school two days ago on Thursday. Also, we have a drug issue with some of our students because a lot of people come in high as a kite.</p>
<p>The thing is with girls and boys is that you can seperate a fight between boys, but girls continue to yap at each other and it can be near impossible to break up their fights… said a few of my teachers…</p>
<p>never seen or heard about a fight at my high school</p>
<p>There are fights in the cafeteria at lunch every quarter or so. People stand on the tables in a big circle around them and scream “FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!” until the police arrive.
I don’t frequent the cafeteria.
Although personally, I think the real problem at my school is people having sex in the bathrooms.</p>
<p>I read the title as “Homeschool Fights” and was picturing some kind of parent/child domestic dispute, haha!</p>
<p>When I was a freshman, the seniors and juniors would play 30 Seconds. Basically, people fight for 30 seconds or so and there are no rules. It was only for fun, but unknowingly, I was traumatized. It was ridiculous because it happened so quickly.
Those kids were wild! The girls would fight continuously over the boys who tried to impress them by playing 30 Seconds. I felt like I was in a zoo. </p>
<p>Back then my school had about 350 students, but now, my senior year, under new administration, we have about 180 students and it is absolutely peaceful.
Living in the “most dangerous city in America," I never thought I’d find a safe haven at school. I never complained about the fights, and eventually I found them humorous and entertaining. I loved the fighting opposed to what could have been happening… Shootings have occurred at neighboring schools, even with metal detectors and security guards.
I’m glad I attend a school where those are not needed.</p>
<p>LOL, my high school was just like that! Only now, there are cameras and audio recording in every classroom, and several police guards on each floor… I feel you… gang members turn school into a jail</p>
<p>… Yeah, no fights at my school. Our drama primarily consists of girls gossiping about each other.</p>
<p>Well I go to a high school the size of a community college and their are fights nearly every day or every other day. I am smart enough to not get caught up in the stupidness (and I haven’t seen any of the fights mostly because I hang out in the band room too much), but you can definitely tell when a fights happens because suddenly a herd of people start running toward a location to see something before it gets broken up.</p>
<p>At my school of 3500 in suburban California there are only a few fights every school year.</p>
<p>At my school of 2900 in North Carolina, there is about one fight a year on school grounds. But at least twice a month, someone gets jumped and seriously harmed, or there is a huge riot where everyone starts fighting, in the McDonald’s’ parking lot next door to my school. These idiots post these things on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and even Youtube; strangely, I have only heard of 2 of these kids getting suspended, even though the student handbook forbids this fighting anywhere in the vicinity of the school.</p>
<p>Woah Duke. Sounds like you go to my school. Although Im not sure if we 2900, I’ve never counted before. There’s been fights by Mcdonald’s and Waffle House. Sad. And we fight far more often xD</p>
<p>trygett dats wat makes high school, high school</p>
<p>not in hs, but middle school</p>
<p>Where do you go to school?</p>
<p>Here in affluent SoCal, a fight like this would be considered only imaginary. If there were a fight to occur at my school, all students involved would simply be expelled. Last year someone just verbally contemplated getting into a fight and somehow his situation was brought to the attention of administration who suspended him for 7 days.
Inner city schools usually are more lax about these situations and end up completely ignoring the fight as if it had never happened. Pretty horrific.</p>
<p>@DukeHopeful2014 NORTH CAROLINA?? I thought this was a peaceful state, with a lot of farmland and such. Are there a lot of blacks in your area – and do you go to a school in Charlotte? This wouldn’t surprise me!</p>
