Eh, I carefully picked my fights. Always of a defensive nature and always in the commons, full view of the school officials.

Stairwells are death traps... (There was one who was assaulted by 6 into a concrete ribbed wall, that person was airlifted.) fights off property were quite common to work around the punishments.

I would hate to see public schools now in the age of Facebook and others.

I would have taken Suspension and be done with it. Been there done that.
