Head down toilets in school?

caseyann · 23-07-2010 11:08pm #1

The statement on the other thread made me think? Is that still going on.Isnt it perceived as a form of bullying? And has it happened to you?

I haven't had experience of it,but i have heard things from guys i know,where it damaged their first year of school and kind of damaged them a bit also.
How did you feel about it if happened to you,and if you were the bully why would you do it? To belittle another kid and make yourself feel superior?

Is there any other way to perceive having your head dunked into a toilet?

Cos it's funny?

Ah no seriously the state of school toilets these daysit would be fairly harsh! You'd want a serious grudge against someone to do it to them!

Ahhhhh noo...

It is rare. Most bullying these days takes the form of setting up bebo pages etc.

Some guy tried to do it to me and I bet the crap out of him, problem solved.

I should hope there wouldn't,but people tend to mock it and accept it like its some kind of right of passage,pardon the pun,would you if in school seeing it done to someone who is already terrified of new school and beginning watch or stop?

stovelid · 23-07-2010 11:17pm

I remember kids being actually being pissed (by groups of others) on in my school. Don't remember heads ever going down the toilets though.

When it happens in school = bullying
when it happens anywhere else = crime

Yay i inspired a thread.

Seriously though, it was more a thing that happened to every (male) first year in my school, it was a form of bullying for sure but it wasn't like they were picking on the one kid every day. More a rights of passage thing. The other was getting hung head first over the banister by the leaving certs. And then on our birthdays(not something you'd make common knowledge if you could help it) all the lads in the class would pin you down and slap your stomach really really hard, these were your supposed mates. Teenage boys are NASTY.

Girls got egged on their birthdays.

God my school sounds like a prison! IT really wasnt too bad.

Kiwi_knock · 23-07-2010 11:20pm

Never happened in my school, more likely any of the cheeky kids got a few digs to set them straight

Haha, the birthday beatings!! When your son asks to stay home on his bday let him!

Anyone else get their bags turned inside out and "knobbed" with tipex? Thats what everyone does these days. Explaining that to the mother is fun.

Never seen it happen but my old school did it with style...

Roman Candle firework lobbed into an occupied jacks.

Sweeeet;).

Or cutting the bottom out of school bags so when they were picked up, everything fell out.

I'm sooo glad I wasn't a boy! But got fecking egged a few times on my birthday / if I got an award for something...it was still fecking sore and a pain to wash out, especially if it was an egg / flour mixture

I never heard of anyone actually ever getting their head flushed down a toilet though, perhaps it was just something that was kept quiet?

epgc3fyqirnbsx · 23-07-2010 11:24pm

I've actually never seen it happen. The first school I was in, everyone used to get 'jocked' by the 6th years.
Second school everyone was too busy looking cool, being slightly stoned and complaining about commercialism.

Kiwi_knock · 23-07-2010 11:25pm

Stuff like turning bags inside out is not really bullying because I think everyone has had their bag turned inside out by their friends but I do not think too many of my friends were willing to stick my head down a toilet

stovelid · 23-07-2010 11:26pm

Bags in my last post had to be those cheap 80s school bags with UNITED or LIVERPOOL on them...they had a kind of a square bottom so you could cut them off.

We also used to call Wegdies, Frizzies for some reason.

Wolfe Tone · 23-07-2010 11:27pm

One time we threw this guys bag out the window onto a roof below. When he was leaning out to get the bag we grabbed his legs and threw him out on to the roof too, then locked the windows. When the teacher got back she wasnt happy! haha

Friends only beat you up on your birthday, it was the older kids that would do the ducking.

3hn2givr7mx1sc · 23-07-2010 11:28pm

We padlock peoples bag and in my old school there was th dreaded "Wedgie week" for the last two weeks of school, basically the sixth years wedgied/kicked the shít out of the first years.

I wouldn't imagine been charged but they are in their late teens and alot older,but punished would be something to be done.I dont know i was pretty lucky in school and anyone pushed me bully wise i got them ten fold.Or once i got punched by a guy in higher year than me, the people in the class reported his ass

Jaysus, I thought it was tough to be a girl growing up!!! Sooo glad I wasn't a lad :eek:

Most we ever got was egged on our birthdays!!!!

That doesn't happen to my sons but then again they are on the school rowing team and on their birthdays the birthday lad gets a "leg and a wing" into the river corrib!!! Definitely nicer than some of the stories here:D

Mickeroo · 23-07-2010 11:31pm

Another thing we used to was Squashing,basically if anyone was stupid enough to get near a corner they get shoved into the corner and anyone in earshot basically would squash them in. We had wooden partitions separating some of the class rooms, one day we knocked one off the hinges. The biggest squash i ever saw happened in the toilets, so many people piled in the the person in the corner got pushed up to the ceiling and managed to escape over the top of everyone. Kind of like horizontal pile ups.

The Express · 23-07-2010 11:31pm

Forgot another great 'old school' prank:

Ham, egg and onion sandwich strategically placed down the back of those long, flat radiators in May.

The 'bang' was incredible when we went back to school in September and the caretaker hadn't a fcukin' clue what was causing it.

Ah you know what I mean. A schoolyard fight aint assault. Somones bag getting wrecked is not criminal damage.

These things get dealt with in the school. Lines etc.

PM me your CC details and I will see what I can do

So you think in the case of a schoolyard fight, and a bag being wrecked police should be involved?

Boys are boys, they are boisterous and it's part of their development. If you applied the full rigours of the law to the schoolyard there would be few who would get through school without being on probabtion.

Sure I've had punch-ups with mates about the arse of a fag ffs, and we'd still be sharing a seat on the bus on the way home

We're not talking about systematic bullying here, we're talking about the ordinary rough and tumble of growing up. Wrap kids up in cotton wool and you'll get weaklings. And thats not being macho, thats common sense

Although I remember some biatches used to mix it with flour and that was tough to get out!!:(

Depends on what happens in the fight tbh.Bag being wrecked, no.As mentioned in the thread, getting pissed on by a group of people would be pretty bad

Mike 1972 · 23-07-2010 11:41pm

If the victim wants it dealt with by the police/courts is there any reason why it shouldnt be ?

Kiwi_knock · 23-07-2010 11:43pm

I remember corridor of death, corridors in my school were real narrow so half the class would stand on one side and the other half would stand on the other side. Any first year walking in between was ping ponged around the group until they could break free. Was horrible experience to walk through as a first year but funny to watch after that as long as it was not pushed too far

Dave! · 23-07-2010 11:45pm

Unless the kid is badly hurt.

If a child of yours got a bloody nose in school would you ring the cops? For gods sake man. The courts have better things to do than settling playground feuds.
