mitch

Stephen Gawking

So just wondering, do kids go on the mitch these days or is it just a thing of the past? In my day (I'm 40) it was like a rite of passage. Just something that had to be done.

Did you go on the 'hop?' Where did you go? We're there many of you? Did you get away with it? If so, how? If not, how did you get caught & what happened? My Father being an aul Dub talks about 'going on the gurr' every now & again which seems to be his generations version. Store is please.

Choof?

Tell me how

I used to mitch the odd time.

Got caught once in Leaving Cert and the teacher pointed his finger at me and said, "You're a liar". That was it, like he was disappointed in me. I didn't do it again.

Yeah, they do it all the time. I'm always astonished by the amount of kids in school uniform I always see just wandering round town, or on the bus, or in mcdonalds. I mean some of them are TY, which is fine but still.

Decided not to go to school with two pals in first year. It was a waste of time. We spent the day in the rain in the field beside the school.

Next time I was about 16 and wanted to go shopping. Had a great day. The next day at school the teacher said to me "you were sick yesterday afternoon whitewinged?". I said "oh ye very bad tummy ache". He smiled and said "oh is that why I saw you at the bus stop then?". Quickly I said "ye on my way to the doctor". He left it at that and let me away with it

I went "on the mitch" once. Never again. It ended badly for all involved.

I went on the hop a few times, but I did get caught once. A couple of times I just got the bus from town to my then boyfriend's house at the time and climbed into bed with him, seemed a lot nicer than going to school :pac:

One time when I was sixteen and in fourth year we decided not to go back to school after lunch as we just had a double first aid lesson. There were three of us and we smoked a joint and went back to my friend's house where we watched 'Thirteen going on Thirty' (awful film, btw). That was on the Friday and when we went into school on Monday the teachers had obviously realised that we hadn't come back after lunch on the Friday so they informed our parents and we were suspended for two days. I was a little shyte when I was a teenager, my poor parents.

Im in 5th, I only mitch on days with a lot of free classes or If im just really, really not in the mood I usually mitch with my friend so we go back to his. Then 10 minutes before his dad comes home we put on our bags, walk to the shop and back and pretend like we're just back from study and stopped along the way :c I always bring a hoodie if im going mitching, but some people have noticed me either way. I just make light of it with them. I haven't been caught by a teacher yet.

The only time I did it for a prolonged period one day I got caught. In deep sh-t. Otherwise it was just a class here and there. My school had an extremely strict policy on it. It's boring and you're nervous the whole time that you'll get caught. Pretty pointless.

I used to mitch pretty much every day, swipe in in the mornings, do the first class, then **** off for the rest of the day. Only ever got in trouble for it twice, used to go off with some chums and just hang around smoking and doing nothing. In retrospect it was both boring and pointless, since I ended up failing my leaving :pac:

Spent the last 2 weeks in bed as I just felt shíte and couldn't be bothered which is similar to mitching I suppose.

Dreading the thoughts of going in tomorrow.

I'm in 6th year....

Some kids will always find ways to bend or break school rules no matter how strict the School gets.

Going on the gurr was being kicked out of the house and sleeping rough and eating gurr cake, because thats all you had enough money for.
