Have you noticed popular people never gun down their classmates?

Thank you for re-phrasing my point



Edit: LOL Imran beat me to it!

I didn't say otherwise...

I discussed the same issue there......

I think after reading that thread, you can all see why I come for Apolyton for serious discussion

I was lucky to go to a high school were there was no popular clique or outcats: no one cared about anything but their academic performances and resume padding.

I currently attend a private high school and things are similar. Sure there are popular and non-popular kids but nothing is really made out of it. Also I don't think anyone in my high school would be immature enough to taunt people.

The school shootings are awful and are probably a combination of both medical problems and harrasment. Are the victims of these shootings only the popular kids?

I got sick of it and beat the living crap out of both of them

When did you go to school? Today beating anyone up would probably get you expelled. I heard a story a while back about a kid who was in second grade and the school was thinking about expelling him because he called a hit or call or something in a Four Square game "gay", however inappropraite, I think schools go overboard today. How were you disciplined?

Yes I was. Out of a class of 700 no one could give a damn who was in the footbal team, the homecoming events were a joke, as were our cheerleaders, and the proms were populated only by those people who craved the "normal" high school experience.

I think another thing ios at work: in most of the high schools were these sorts of this are about to happens, the kids in your high school represent the entirety of your age group that you are likely to ever meet at that age: at al social events even outside of school your reputation there follows you. But in big cities, speically in schoiols that recruit from all over them, it is very likely you have a social circle utterly separated from the HS scene, and thus can seek solace there.

I wasn't in any cliques or anything. I had friends in all cliques and few enemies. The first week of my Freshman year in HS, I kicked the crap out of some junior who made fun of my name. I didn't have any more problems... although I was suspended 3 more times throughout high school for fighting. . I have a short temper and a big mouth. And I never lost a fight either.

Almost the same exact situation here except all the teachers liked me and refused to believe that I would start any kind of fight.

Just want to note my highschool was pretty good........ no real jerks there heh.

It was 5 or 6 years ago, a suburban high school in NY. I wasent disciplined. I dont know what the 2 kids said to anyone, everyone in the school knew I beat them up, but apparently they never specifically complained to a teacher. One of them was battered a bit but nothing major, the other I believe had to get some stiches on his chin though.

At least my classmates achieved something. They turned me into a berzerker. When I get in a fight I lose control. I don't stop at first blood, I don't stop if one of us falls down. I keep fighting until the other person runs off.

high school...... ahhh the repressed memories

The "true" beserkers from which the word comes, wore animal skins and CUT THEMSELVES WITH KNIVES BEFORE BATTLE to psyche themselves up.... did you do that?

I ask a lot of questions in class (in fact I challenge the teacher a lot ) and it kinda pisses kids off at me. Combined with the fact that I'm a little (a lot) strange , and I get teased a lot (though a lot less now than in previous years). I've coped with it by saying to myself (accurately ) that since I'm immensely more intelligent than them, the fact that they don't recognize my enormous intellectual superiority means their opinions about me are worthless . However, oftentimes I'd love to hit them. The problem isn't that I'm too small or weak (I'm actually pretty strong and athletic), but that I don't really want to hurt anyone ( :wuss: )
