Lunch room Activity
I too picked Justin after watching the clip in class. I have to
agree with the statement that the final reaction/decision was not the same as what I
would of witnessed in my high school. There would of definitely been some sort of altercation in this situation. I don’t know that it would of necessarily been a physical altercation, but at the very minimum something would have been thrown back or words would of been exchanged. The lunch room was pretty heavily supervised, so there is a slim chance that a teacher would of stepped in and shit things down before it got too serious. There was a higher chance that a response would of happened in the hallway between class change. The halls were very crowded and as hard as the teachers tried, that is where of the a lot of the fights happened.
For me personally, knowing how I react, I would of most likely shouted something back and moved on with my day. I grew up in Westerville Schools, the fights where usually very “gentle” compared to what I’ve seen and heard from other districts. I also grew up in a house hold where the rule was never throw the first punch. My parents told me that they would support me with the school if I got into a fight, but it had to be a self defense. So with that short of upbringing, I learned to pick my battles. Idiots throwing something at me would not of triggered me to the fight, but I would of said something.
There were definitely groups with in our lunch room, but there was also a lot of cross over. I grew up in a tough time as well. Our class seemed to come together and bonded. My 8th grade year, Columbine happed. So our freshman year, we were put through several false threats. It seemed to bring us closer and looked out for one another. Our senior year 9/11 happened again we were brought back together. It seemed like groups and separation faded away and we were all just trying to figure out how to deal with what happened.
