Hmm, schools were pretty dangerous then in some places. Did your school have metal detectors?

An interesting Tim Minchin take on gingers 
Not a dangerous school at all, you just didn’t want to cross a badass. No weaponry was ever involved, though, just hands and fists.
I remember when I was in middle school, they used to suspend people for wearing wallet chains. Nobody risked weapons. We never had a problem with them AFAIK. We had more problems with drugs, honestly.
SCREEN CAPTURE the threatening post on facebook, RIGHT NOW. Go to the post, click “print scrn”, go into an image editing program and paste the screenshot in, save it to your hard drive, and email it to yourself so you have a backup.
Cowardly bully will no doubt delete the post and claim he never made the threats to you, this is evidence. You also need to go to the POLICE when people threaten you with beatings or killing you as it is VERY SERIOUS.
POLICE POLICE POLICE NOW NOW NOW. And next time, when you’re a 4’11" female, don’t insult bigger people no matter what they say to you, as anyone who is over 18 and larger than you following you around and calling you names has some IQ and emotional maturity issues.
I went to high school so long ago that nobody cared if you brought a knife to school. I used to carry a knife to elementary school sometimes. But nobody ever got stabbed. We didn’t even fight much in the 70s, we were too busy getting high.
Anybody else getting the feeling the OP isn’t coming back??
When has that mattered? <inappropriate remark about the OP using the terms ‘racist’ and ‘slut’/>
Don’t ask the principal. He doesn’t know shit about any of this stuff, or about the police, unless he is a cop. Think of Joe Paterno and Penn State. A cop would know what the police would take seriously. A principal would know what the school board would take seriously.
Not every kid talking shit is a matter for the police, just like every dispute over a parking space doesn’t end with someone pulling a gun and killing the other driver.
Should we assign a police officer to each and every citizen, just in case?
Also, people who get involved in these stupid disputes and call the cops always manage to forget a simple fact; just as you can file a complaint against someone else, they can also file one against you.
The OP felt as though someone had physically threatened her. Isn’t that what cops are for?
And she took it sooooo seriously that she decided to take it to an internet message board instead of the police or filing the proper paperwork because she was soooooo scared and convinced of the authenticity of the threat, right?
She’s a kid. I’m telling her how to respond in what I think is a mature manner. Don’t escalate fights, just calmly file a report.
EDIT: Also, I just reread through her post, and I realized on closer inspection that the question she was actually asking is if I report them to the police, what will happen to them? It seems like she was already aware of the potential for reporting them, but felt like she didn’t know enough about the process to just go ahead with it. She probably wanted to ask on a message board rather than looking on a police website because she was more concerned with what would realistically happen to them, as opposed to in an ideal world.
I’m still trying to figure out why there was a question mark at the end of the title.
I don’t see this being a problem if she’s being attacked.
This is a phenomenon that I’ve noticed in the last few years - tragedy has befallen me, I’ll ask online “What Should I Doooooo!!!” A woman posted on an MB a few months ago bemoaning the fact that she’d ran out of birth control pills oh what’s to become of me?!?!. Pregnancy, one would assume. Another wanted to know what to do after her dog dragged her toddler child, face first, across a tarmac drive. Hopefully someone from Child Services will relieve you of said child, shortly.
I hope the OP hasn’t actually been beaten senseless by her nemesis in the meantime.
