Girl Fight

In a tradition that totally skipped Gothamist's high schools, the annual fistfight that the girls at Peabody High School have got so out of hand that the police had to step in. One student said, "People knew this was coming because it almost happened on Friday. They should have known that it was going to be the last day of school and there was going to be fighting everywhere." Another said, "There were students talking the whole year about their enemies and how they're going to fight. It happens every year." Pittsburgh Public Schools Chief of Safety Robert Fadzen says there is no annual tradition of fighting. Yeah, like the high school kids are really going to inform him. At our high schools, fistfights were either spontaneous or it would be kids from other high schools chasing after us.

Gothamist loves the girl who shot the footage: NBC's Pittburgh affiliate says "she wasn't in school that day, but went there when classes let out because she and others had heard there would be fights." See the footage here.

So much for the tradition "Senior Cut Day"...

Me thinks they should change the tradition to pillow fights. More fun would be had by all, no bricks in pillows allowed though.

i dont think fighting is a very good thing to do in life, i dont even know why it exist in my world. I wish everyone would stop being jelouse of me, it makes me mad though, everyone calls me perfect, n there are some things about me that are always perfect. Rumourse gone around my high skoo and already people wanna fight me. Im up for it though, but everyday juss hurts by the name calling, rumourse, i have been having probelems with the same grls since 7th grade, thats when i started fighting is wen 7th grade. Now these grls are freinds with other grlz, and they dont even know me and already wanna hurt me. Its unbelievable how everyday i can put with it, its only me agianst like 30 grlz. Thats not koo, but i try ro walk away from them, day after day, but i juss wish they can come up to ma face and say wat they gotta say, not behind my back.

I dont think that fighting is ever going to stop because their is alot of childish people in the world and people just dont know how to grow the fuck up what i do is i just dont pay it no mind if i feel like i shouldnt be fighting then i just wont fight plain and simple but i also hae gained mad respect when i was younger because of my fighting skills so noone comes up to me to fight me so yeah if it was to happen the i still wouldnt fight its just not important
