This thread gives me an opportunity to rant about a "prank" that some students pulled at my high school recently.
Every year, some students of the graduating senior class put on a "senior prank" which is something mischievous by which they could be remembered. There was talk about releasing a bunch of chickens onto the lawn, or sticking plastic forks all over the front of the school, but nooo, these seniors decided to do something much worse. Just a couple days before graduation, a group of seniors decided to inflict $30,000 worth of damage to the school. They spray-painted the brick walls, the hallway walls, the hallway ceilings, and the cafeteria walls with "Class of 2007!" They also put super glue into most/all of the keyholes on the doors of the classrooms. School administration had to sandblast the brick walls and repaint all the other walls to get rid of the graffiti. Then, they had to blowtorch all the keyholes to melt away the superglue.
Sixteen seniors were arrested for this "senior prank."
I'm all for being remembered, but I was disappointed in my fellow seniors. If they were going to have a senior prank, then they should have done something a bit less severe. They should have done something funny. They should have done something that didn't cost the school, and ultimately, the taxpayers $30,000!
It's things like these that make me so anxious for college, where I'm going to be surrounded by mature, like-minded intellectuals.

Haha, some people had planned to release chickens in the sixth form common room on the last day before the final exams at my school a few weeks ago. But they decided not to, because the head of sixth form contacted the RSPCA (Royal Society for Protection against Cruelty to Animals), who informed him that the students could have been prosecuted if they did.

LOL. I'm hopefully going to the University of St Andrews, in Scotland, and apparently on one evening in November, all the new students have a bath in shaving foam — it's apparently called Raisin Day, or something.

And what do you think of that? Fun or just humiliating?

At the University of California Los Angeles, there's an annual event called "The Undie Run" when everyone parades through the university/surrounding community in their underwear.

Tell me about it!!!!!!!!!!! I can hardly wait!!!!!!!!!!
Let me disabuse you two of these silly notions. You will go to college with the same type of people you went to high school with. 18 year olds aren't any more mature than 17 year olds! _________________ An apple a day....

Totally. There will be all kinds of people including pretentious "intellectuals", nerds, 'ordinary' people etc.

"Normies" doesn't sound so bad compared to other names I've heard. When I rode the city bus in Uppsala once there were two guys talking. One of them said that only about 15% of the students at the university belonged there, and the rest were idiots who had no business being there. That's the kind of person whose body you feel the need to introduce to your boots.
During your early years in school, did everybody date each other? When I was in 6th grade most of the guys in my class had "been together" with one or more of the girls in the class. In most cases when you wanted to fråga chans på (ask chance on) somebody, a friend of yours would go and ask the girl. If she answered 'yes' you'd be together. For about a month until it was no longer fun. I thought it was just stupid and I was one of the few guys who never took part in it. That's the early years I'm talking about. Of course, by the time we entered Junior High School this behaviour had ceased. We were older and things started getting real and only the daring guys had a girlfriend.

I had absolutely no experience of dating or going together until college, because it wasn't until my second year of college that any boy/man was interested in me.

It makes me think of what was hapenning in my school too. A guy went to ask me if I agreed to come out with his friend. I refused, and from that time, no one came to ask me for their friends! Just one did it again and many times, but it was for the same boy! I think he had difficulties to understand I didn't want him. I had to go and tell him directly. He didn't appreciate and slapped me! When a man's pride is offended it seems he can't do anything but becoming violent! _________________ Karout hep bezañ karet

I was in a monastry for 10 years so I never had the opportunity to observe if juvenile seeds of BGRs were already being planted in primary school. But I would not be surprised if every 10 year old boy in a co-ed school here has a 'girlfriend'. This is simply a case of children imitating the grown-ups. _________________ Hillary Clinton is an acquired taste which I have clearly yet to acquire.
I wasn't in primary school when this occured. I was in secondary, in what we call in French "collège". Then, we were 12 and not 10. I don't know anyone who came out with someone at the age of 10. But well, I assume some people already had this experience at (what I consider to be) an early age. _________________ Karout hep bezañ karet

Growing up, as early as kindergarten it was normal for kids to "date" or "go out" with one another. Lol! At the time, we thought it was serious business, holding hands and all.
6th grade is when I started to see a lot of making out around campus, and about 8th grade, sex, oral sex, and everything in between was quite normal. _________________ Operation Northwoods - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods

I think 8th grade = year 9... I suppose around then many people were talking about having sex, although I didn't really believe that many of them were actually doing it.
I read recently that the average age at which boys in the UK first have sex is 17. I'm not quite sure how I'd fit into that though, because I'm never really sure what counts for gay people — I tend to see losing one's virginity as essentially only really applying to heterosexuals.

Note: Hello, langcafeinos! I moved the posts about virginity and anal sex to the Adult forum. I didn't do this to censor anyone but I felt that a) the topics had strayed far afield from academia, and b) you can discuss to your hearts' content about the aforementioned subjects w/o scandalizing any of the underaged visitors to this forum.
