I have been looking back at the memories from last school year and one big thing stands out to me. Most of those students acted very inappropriate. Some things I remember that happened were...

1. a fight between two gang members. It was very scary. Chairs being thrown, tables overturned, not to mention the blood. The teacher who broke it up had to put the kid in a position resembling a head lock until the school officer could handcuff him.

2. some kid was found using drugs in the boys bathroom. He was either suspended for a very long time or expelled.

3. a big fight nearly destroyed the computer lab with the expensive computers in them. They ended up having to go to the hospital.

4. kids who get suspended would go to school the next day. They mustn't have cared that they would be charged with trespassing.

5. a kid in my class cursed the teacher. We didn't see him again for two weeks.

6. the notes that were being passed were absolutely disgusting and very inappropriate for any age. One kid even got expelled for something he wrote.

7. a fire was started on my bus. Luckily they stomped it out.

Is it just my school that has behavior problems?

No. Every single school ive been to has had some major problems. (and trust me, ive been to a lot of schools) Just this year, the kid whos locker was next to mine had a knife in his locker, and there were plenty of kids with drugs. Just in my grade, there were 4 people expelled this year and there are about..150 people i would say in a grade.

I would stuff my self in my own old locker (which was like, 2 feet tall and 8 inches wide) if someone had a knife. I am just so terrified of a student losing it and going balistic. It would be a good thing that 911 is so easy to dial on a cell phone though. I would just wish I could run faster.

Oh wow, I am really glad my school didn't have any problems of that sort. Maybe this was because it was a very small one (about 500 students) so everybody knew everybody and the atmosphere was rather like i a big family *lol* I always felt secure there.

I remember fights randomly breaking out at my junior high school. Never saw them, though. I always came in as a police officer was escorting the involved students out. Jeez, there must have been eight or nine fights that year. Which probably isn't that bad, compared to other schools.

My old high school (I'm in college, now) had quite a few hallway and after-school fights, and the odd lunchroom fight as well. No chairs being thrown around, though, at least none that I could see. Usually fights were between 2 guys or 2 girls, with a gaggle of others around them (some of the jorks shouting 'FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!').

There were 1 or 2 bomb scares in my 4 years there. They brought in dogs / everything, and classes were herded outside for about 2 hours.

Stinkbombs and trashcan fires seem to have been the most common forms of nastiness, though. Especially stinkbombs. At least once every other week, I'd walk past a part of the school that reeked (that wasn't the locker rooms)... though sometimes that was a maintenance goof or the AP Biology students dissecting a cat, it was usually stinkbombs.

Overall, yes your school does have problems. But a lot of them do.

I went to a catholic school (bleh) but there were still a few incidents. One I remember is two girls getting expelled over some drug-selling thing. Although I actually didn't mind those girls, apart from the drugs they were fine with me.
Mainly it was just bitching that was the problem. An all-girls school can have extreme bitchyness.

They actually did a spot about my old school on 20/20 a few years back (I've been out of high school for 10 years), and that was just focused on the girls fighting in the halls (silly part, they showed one of my classmates all scratched up as something to pity, but I heard she had started the fight, and won). I was so mad one day when a fight broke out near where my group ate lunch, and then landed on top of me! Though after that fight I knew which of the teachers was the school bouncer (according to my mom every school should have at least one), he just appeared and almost instantly had both guys pinned. I wish I had been in place to see the fight where somebody lifted the vice-principal out of the way, silly fellow had charged in to try and stop it, but all the combatants were larger than him. Everybody knew where drugs and such were stashed (bathroom ceilings except next to foreign language, the only bathroom I was willing to use) and you could see the dealing going on at the edge of the woods, but our principal always attested that we didn't have a drug problem. Somehow I always managed to be out of school for a competition of some sort when there was a bomb scare. I actually got cheered (secretly) by some of the teachers after I nearly took one guy's eye out, he'd picked a bad time to harass me.

I don't actually remember anybody getting expelled, and most of the time kids got in-school-suspension rather than out (they knew out-of-school would mean that kid could just goof off).

But I always figured we were a fairly decent school, talking with the other girls at GS camp one summer I heard of one school where you HAD to use the buddy system to go to the bathroom, or you were risking rape.

Three things I remember from my last school:
1. I was getting harassed in my Civics class and all that was done about that I know of is us switching seats a few times.

2. These two girls started fighting in the cafeteria at lunch time. One was getting her hair ripped out and everything while the lunch teacher just stood there. A few other teachers jumped in and stopped it though. That prompted a story from my math teacher (where I was at the time) about two girls who one beat the other's face into the locker.

3. Kids talking about drugs and alcohol and their 'experinces'. Sophomores should not be have those kinds of things to talk about!
My personal favourite was another girl in my civics class talking about getting drunk with some friends and stumbling around the yard. Her mom's a teacher.

Daniel, the same thing happened at my junior high school. We had four bomb scares in one year. Bags had to be checked by school staff every day for a few months. After that, it stopped. I think they caught the kid who was causing all the trouble. There was no real threat, I believe. The idiot thought it would be fun to instill a little fear in some kids.

My school is pretty uneventful but when we do have drama, it's very intense:

1. We had a riot in the cafeteria once when we had 7 fights back to back. That was the craziest and wildest school day ever. People were running all across the school and off campus, it was crazy.

2. A girl had 3 seziures back to back in the cafeteria. It was pretty scray.

3. Everyday, people would smoke weed in the bathrooms and try to cover it up with cologne but it just made the whole hallway smell awful.

4. People carried and sold drugs almost daily at my school. Someone that I sat by and talked to in my class tried to sell me some weed. Of course I said no though.

5. We had a minor food fight and egg tossing for the Senior School Prank.

6. Two boys were caught having sex in the bathroom once.

7. During the last week of school, a boy got beat down with a cask and was sent to the hospital. The other boy got arrested.

8. Someone set off firecrackers by the assistant principal. So stupid!

9. Countless amounts of fights.

Yeah, my school's pretty uneventful. LOL

There actually wasnt any real trouble in our school...I can't recall any fights or drug incidents...the only problems were smoking and teasing....

Wow... my school's really good compared to some of yours... anyway, my school is pretty normal sized (I think), about 3000 kids, but a lot of them are homeschooled and don't come on campus. We have a zero-tolerance policy on our campus, because at my school, you don't have to be on campus at all. So if anyone gets in a fight or does something that disturbs the peace, they get thrown off campus for the rest of the year, and they do their work at home. If a student messes up badly enough, it doesn't really matter if they have a disciplinary record or not. At my school, it's considered a privilege to attend classes, and if you get in trouble, you don't get that privilege. (Personally, I think it's fantastic, because then I don't have to worry about my personal safety when I'm at school.) The best part is that punishments are actually enforced. If a student is suspended, security won't let them on campus. All of us have IDs that must be worn around our necks at all times when we're on campus, and you HAVE to slide your card to get on campus. If you aren't allowed on campus, then this alarm thingy goes off when you slide your card to let the security guards know something isn't right. So, with all the security, my school is very uneventful. We had only two fistfights this year, and both times all the people involved got kicked off campus and haven't been seen since.

Um, well at my school, we've had a fair few incidents...

1. Two years ago, some guys had dedicated a message to one of our prettier teachers by spray painting on a wall, "Will you have my babies?". I think the guy was expelled.

2. Two years ago again, the school got broken into by some students, and they went through heaps of files and spilled blue paint over them so a fair few couldn't be read. Then, they went into the drama room, threw wine everywhere and peed on the floor. All three kids were expelled, as the hidden security cameras caught them.

3. Earlier this year, two students got caught having sex in the same drama room mentioned above. I don't think they got into too much trouble.

4. A few months ago, the local McDonalds banned our entire school from the restaurant premises while in uniform, when some older boys at the school had broken a fairly expensive window.


I really disagree with the McDonalds punishment, as it is something that happened once and was 5 boys out of 2, 000 students. But, what can I do, lol.

Overall, my schools fairly alright, but there are always the exceptions.

Wow. Some of those are just, wow. I can't wait to go to high school. The high school I will go to has higher security and less problems ever since they got a new princible (sp?). I am glad we never had a bomb threat. Oh wait. That one time in fourth grade a rumor going around was that some 6th grader had a bomb. They searched his locker, and didn't find a bomb. They just found a knife or something like that. It was very very scary because it was a small school. The whole school (elementary/junior high/highschool was one building) had like, 500 some students all together. It was a big change when I moved to the city. Bigger and worse behavior.

honestly, if the problems mentioned are normal, I'd be surprised if anyone attended school UNARMED.

The only things that ever occurred at my school while I was there were mainly caused by the kids from the high school next door. You see, some bright spark thought it a good idea to place the worst comprehensive in the area next to a top all-girls grammer school. Every girl who has been to that school has a story about the next doors that happened to them in person. With me, I was beaten up, spat at, had rocks thrown at us, stuff was stolen from my classroom, and they set fire to tour field several times.

Inside the school though, the only big thing that ever happened was a series of arson attacks. What happened was originally a fuse blew up in the art room, setting the place alight. The whole excitement caused by the firemen and time off lessons lead two girls to deliberately cause more.

The problem is, the first one they did was in a science store cupboard which contained the gas mains for the school...

We kind of got evacuated for that one.

The second and final one they did was a small fire started in the English store room where they kepty all the books used by the students. Luckily it was discovered quickly, and because of the high alertness after the last one, the two girls were caught. Their parents were later 'advised' to take them out of the school...permanantly.

I guess times have changed since I was in highschool because there were rarely any incidents that were really out of hand.
I think the worst thing that I can remember happening was when we were eating lunch in the cafeteria and someone turned out the lights as the vice principal was walking through (the guy was a major ass hat) and a girl jumped up and punched him in the back of the head. He obviously didn't know who it was that did it so no one was ever punished for it.

My school is total havoc.

1. 2 fifth graders were caught in class having sex while 2 others kissing.

2. 6 guys carrying pot 3 pounds of it.

3. Cursing at the teacher all the kids did it except me I never use curse words.

4. Saying obscene things to other kids.

5. Guys harrassing the girls.

6. Girls getting pregnant.

7. Carrying guns and almost shot the teacher.

8. Kid stabbed another kid with a plastic knife in the arm.

9. Throwing instruments across the room.

10. Throwing kids into basketball hoops.

11. Having food fights.

12. Shoving things like locker doors into kids heads.

13. And for all of the above none got suspended or expelled, isn't my school just wonderful? *eye roll*

Wow My school must have been incredibly tame. We had the odd bit of smoking in the back corner of the oval and the very occasional punch-up, but that's about it.

If someone talked about having a 'weapon' at school, it was something like a water bomb or water pistol...lots of us carried a pocket knife, but that was because of living in a semi-rural area where things like that come in handy. Nobody would've even thought about using it against another person...

This is only five years ago, and I don't think much has changed since then.

My public senior high school in Tennessee had a few issues (like fights and whatnot), some of which I had witnessed. While I was on a school bus, some kid held a picture of a terrorist against a bus window, which resulted in him being taken off the bus for disciplinary action. I saw two girls in my health/wellness class sophomore year exchanging some sort of drug; I have no clue what type of drug, but one of the class objectives was to educate us on drug use/abuse and its dangers.

If college/university campuses count, then I have a good story: Some guy in my residential area thought it would be funny to pull the fire alarms of 3 or 4 dormitory buildings from 3 to 4 AM. One of my roommates thought the noise was only in her dreams until one of us woke her up. The police had to come and clear up the situation.
