<p>When I was in Middle School, I was always afraid to use the bathroom during class because I thought there would be 8th graders in there waiting to make me smoke cigarettes or pound me into the stall and give me a swirly.</p>
<p>Today, 5 years later, as a junior, I went into the bathroom in the first 5 minutes of first period, and there were two "ghetto" guys in there and when I walked in they were all "yo uh i finna get ya up on dat window and we finna be gettin yall blah blah blah" and I was just like wth and proceeded to pee, but when I was standing there, I could feel them staring at me and then they started pounding on my back for no apparent reason. (I'm 6'5, and they were like 5'7, and sophomores.)
They kept yelling the whole Ebonic thing like"yo you be sellin out wit lafanda and keesha dont play dat blah blah" and I finally yelled "get the **** out of here" and then they left.</p>
<p>And it was an epic wth moment. </p>
<p>It wasn't scary, but just really "creepish."</p>
<p>Do you ever feel afraid to go into the bathrooms during class? You never know who/what may be on the other side of the door...</p>
<p>I'm afraid of school bathrooms in general. They're disgustingly dirty. I don't really have to worry about "thugs" though. My school for the most part doesn't really have those. </p>
<p>Last year though, speaking of student sin there during class, we had a girl set a fire in the trash can. She was smoking pot, someone walked in while she was doing this, and to try to hide it she throws it in the garbage still lighted. Oh well, it got us out of class for a few minutes while the fire trucks came. That's about the closest thing I've ever heard at my school to something "against school policy" (had to put it in quotations because that phrasing always makes me laugh).</p>
<p>Haha, that's kind of funny actually. No, I'm not afraid of going to the bathroom; our school doesn't have thugs. Even if there were, they wouldn't hang out in the washrooms - the stench is horrible.</p>
<p>Haha, *** at your story? And @ the 2nd poster, what on earth does that have anything to do with it? Did you read the OP?</p>
<p>Anywho my school is a rather elitist private school and we really don't have any of this "ghetto" business, lol, so I've never been afraid of going to the bathroom. Plus we're a rather tightly knit class and very rarely have conflict of any sort, much less this unprovoked, freaky kind.</p>
<p>There's clearly a racial undertone just in the way you wrote your whole story. It's similar to saying "A woman cut me off this morning" clearly implying that a sex or race would be stereotyped to do such a thing.</p>
<p>Who the hell starts pounding on kids' backs when they are peeing. I'm really starting to think you are making this up.</p>
<p>Trust me, no kid would ask you to smoke in the bathroom with him; it would clearly be his agenda to get stimulated really quickly. He would not want to try to make friends with you by offering you a cig. Do you really think another kid would threaten you with a swirly if you are 6'5"; they probably can't even get their hand up to your head.</p>
<p>You need to chill out and get into the real world.</p>
<p>And, there are really black people living in a city called "White Bear Lake"?</p>

Invoyable, You have NO idea how ghetto my school is.

I don't go to a real ghetto school anymore, but I used to, and I know many schools near my area, and so I think I'm well within my reason to know what you're talking about.</p>
<p>I went to a ghetto middle school, with smoking, partying, graffiti, drugs, etc, in the restrooms too, but as long as you aren't one of those that appear really wimpy and not confident, it didn't matter. I know I was really short back then, 5'7 in middle school, and no one picked on me. Some of my friends at really ghetto schools do fine, and they're Asian/White/Latino/etc, some are even 5'4 and do fine. </p>
<p>If you're 6'5, I cannot imagine you looking very wimpy, unless you're like a stick who's just tall because of genetics. I think you have your decent share of athleticism, and if those kids truly pick on you, that's pretty sad, it means either those kids think you're so wimpy enough to pick on you at 6'5 LOL, or those kids just are retarded/weird like that in the first place (I'm guessing this is the case, in which case you could probably just beat the hell out of them).</p>
<p>EDIT: I'm pretty much in loose agreement with kelper for the most part. Honestly, you could probably beat the living hell out of any one of them, with that much height difference (and I assume some degree of strength/athleticism that correlates), I don't assume those druggies are like jujitsu and kung-fu masters that can karate chop you and own you.</p>
<p>Silly rabbit... they didn't even do anything to you... and you're 6'5 or something allegedly... </p>
<p>I hate going to the bathroom because it's so um dirty... not just dirty, but really, really dirty. I'll spare the descriptions so everyone can keep their dinners in...</p>
<p>At my school, you are most likely to:
50% get the bathroom to yourself
40% other people are in there, but ignore you
9% some ghetto guy decides to stare creepily at you
1% you see some smoker, drugger, illegal stuff</p>
