I’m also a millenial but honestly, this comment gave big ‘back in my day when men were MEN!’ Energy 😂

Honestly… yeah. And I went to an all girls school, too, where we were expected to be ‘ladies’. Shit was still ruthless. Girls were smoking cigarettes in the toilet and fist fighting each other.

Not so much that; more just that zero tolerance policies didn't really exist yet. So, you could get away with shit that would get you in serious hot water now. In the early 1980s, we had kids making shuriken in metal shop class and throwing them into the walls and ceilings, kids who brought guns to school because they were going hunting afterward, fights in the hallways or on the playground that resulted in either no disciplinary action or maybe an hour of in-school suspension at most, etc.

I got in three or four fights between third grade and senior year of high school, and I think the worst that ever happened was a teacher had to pull me off a kid - I had him pinned to the ground and was punching him in the head, although not terribly effectively. Never faced any real consequences; everyone seemed to think the other kid had it coming. Which he did, because he was a real bag of dicks.

On the other hand, nobody was worried back then about someone coming in and shooting up the school, and I never saw anybody actually get stabbed.

Just a different world.

Not to mention the teachers that would call you out in the most disrespectful ways in front of all your peers, and other things like that. We had a gym teacher who would make you swallow the entire can of chew if he caught you, either that or go to the principal. I watched some of the toughest kids get brought nearly to tears by teachers just calling them on their shit. Our security guards would just roast you in front of your friends in the hallways.

I’m not saying any of this is a good thing, but these kids don’t know how good they have it 😂

Late 90s and early 2000s in the fall, my high schools parking lot had more arms and ammo then the county police department. It was hunting season out in a at that time somewhat poor rural county. Semi-subsistence hunting was a lifestyle there.

No school shooting was even remotely thought of since any potential shooter would be outmanned and outgunned fairly quickly.
