In elementary, it was always at the bus stop after class.Back in my day you met them after school. Kept the bullshit to a minimum when you were expected to back up your alligator mouth.When I was in middle school and you wanted to hate on someone using technology your options were very limited. The most you could do was send 666 to their pager. lol.
We did as well. There was a small concession stand by the soccer field that folks would meet after school to settle their differences physically. It was commonly refereed to as "meeting someone at the white building." lol
Damn, the little hard ass acorns you had to roll around in while fighting were worse than the fights.
7-12, it was "the bull pen", the designated student smoking area, or, the parking spaces under the buildings.
By 7th grade, you were expected to stand up and fight, so at least the acorns were no problem.
I guess I had, two, three school fights a year.
Those were the days; today I'd probably be serving life as a repeat offender of the PC rules.
I had one my entire time in middle/high school. He was the new kid and wanted to act tough with me for no reason. I guess he was trying prove his chops to the rest of student body or something. It really didn't go as he planned. We both got suspended for 2 days (in-school) and we actually became good friend afterwards.
We did not get suspended for fighting.
If we fought in the "designated" areas, there was no teacher of administrative involvement.
If you fought where teachers got into it, they dragged your asses to the gym, put on 16 oz gloves, and made you fight until the coaches thought the fight was gone out of you.
We didn't have gangs.
We didn't have mass stompings.
We fought one on one.
And we all carried knives, and nobody ever used them.
There were guns in the trucks, but no shootings.
