Anonymous Coward User ID: 1019933 United States 11/07/2010 11:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's sad but very true. I graduated from high school in 2003 and felt like I was in a prison the whole time I was there. They locked down the entire school for two hours one day because it was "suspected" that some kid had some pot out in his car. The drug dogs were called out, they searched the car and it turned out it was a false alarm. Any time a couple of kids got into a fight, police were called and I remember one boy being pressed with assault charges. No off school lunches, we had to wear ID badges, and we had to tuck in our shirts every day because the teachers watched a demonstration video of a kid hiding a bunch of firearms in his pants. I'm not kidding. |

I'm not kidding. I finished HS in 1987. The shit I did would have me labeled now as a Terrorist.... I would have been arrested multiple times, they probably would have made me vanish... I would have been anal probed checking all possible locations for drugs.... holy shit it would have been total doom for me. Funny thing... I smoked weed each day before going to school... sometime left school and went next door to the dog track... I sometimes left and went to the beach for the day. I ended up finishing my D.Sc (Doctorate) degree in CS and have had a successful life. I guess the things I did were not "earth ending" after all. I can not imagine the hell kids have to go through now. ------ Buying precious metals is an act of REBELLION! Invest in Silver Today! |

The only "time out" I got was the time I was blacked out from getting my ass wooped for fucking up. About the time I was 16 I could take my father and that shit ended but it gave me an understanding of reality that has kept me as a good person in most of my life. ------ Buying precious metals is an act of REBELLION!

I rode off on my bike and didn't come home till the street lights came on... mind you I'm a girl. they never worried. and no one called the cops cause a bunch of us kids we playing unsupervised. If I did get out of line, my Dad beat my ass, and sometimes, in the front yard, and nary a word from the neighbors. |
