Just curious. I would not want to be in a school (high school) where there are massacres of students and teachers. Just creeps the hell outta me. Considering the fact I attend a really safe school in the suburbs ..

LOL. Ghetto part of So-cal. In elementary school, there were shootings around the school and we had lock down for 2 hours. I just remembered that. And there was some guy killed in front of my school gym a few weeks ago. All this is coming back to me..
EDIT// How ironic, Steph. We have lots of catfights here, too. It's ridiculous. |

The high school I'm going to next year has had a gun shooting...
The school I'm going to right now has had a few pretty nasty catfights. Too bad both of them are two of the best schools in the district.

I'm just curious on how these teens get these guns. They probably don't even have a license. Some people are afraid to even put a hand on a gun. Even a slight bit.

Actually there was a huge threat my senior year. And I guess a student was caught on school grounds onetime with a gun in his waist after school hours. That's about it besides the fights that went on every 2 days.

my friend brett came to school three days ago with a loaded b b gun and put it up to my neck.
He was playing around but everyone was scared so they called the princapal and he is Suspended till monday. he was just playing a game called the "kissing game" where a guy goes up to a girl and he says to kiss him and if she refuses you slap the girl on the ass. He is a really nice guy but he took the game to extreams! he is still my friend |

Yeah, they bring knives and weed and alla that. I guess you can call my school "ghetto." A uncle of a student came in and disguised himself and threatened to shoot a teacher before. The high school I'm going to go to has had many fights/stabbings/shootings.

I go to Bronx Science, a specialized school that happens to be in the Bronx. You'd think it would be pretty safe because of the level of 'intelligence' or whatever we're supposed to have. Yet, drugs linger in every crevice of the hallways, on school ground and across the street kids smoke their cigarettes, and a little farther than that (around 30 meters away from the school) kids get blazed off of pot they bought from one of the hundreds of dealers in the school. The school has a name to uphold, and therefore is very reluctant to bring the police into any matters.
However, relating to gun violence, last year the police surrounded my school and busted a Blood who was recruiting another student and had a gun on him. Besides that, my friend bought a gun off of someone at school not too long ago. Its not uncommon anywhere if you have the right connections. |

There was either a shooting at the school I'm going to, or someone really close to here from my knowledge. We get plenty of bomb threats at schools around here, its kind of amusing to me. I suppose you just get use to them after a while perhaps.

Yeah =\
But stabbings and gang fights or riots are more common. Kids are so stupid these days. If you're gonna fight at all, be a man and have it flesh to flesh. |

there has been gun violence in every school i have been to, even college. It's really sad and pathetic. People are just crazy. There is always some innocent person that gets hurt from it.
