Yep, you guessed it. Another fight at Sullivan. It happened at 1:50 this afternoon. This time, I was coming out of the main office after asking one of the clerks a question I had when I'm almost litterally knocked down by a running security guard. I was starting to wonder why he did that when I turned my head to the right and saw a big fight brewing.
There was about five to eight of them pounding on each other. As I was heading back to the classroom, I saw lots of security guards and kids running in the direction of the fight. Then, a few minutes later, when I was on my way to the 3rd floor to get something from one of my regular Ed. teachers, I saw a couple of boys getting dragged into the police room by security. Those boys were hollering like there was no tomorrow. Then they were probably arrested, because I saw several cops come in the building when I was coming back down.
I have no idea what this fight was about either. Probably just some typical nonsense. But, it seems like there's been more fights in the last few days than there has been this whole year. I hope it's not getting like it was last year again. That was just crazy.
On a postivite note, I went with my class to Welles Park for a swimming contest today. Lots of schools were there. The kids and staff had lots of fun. You want my opinion? You'll have to get the next Sullivan school newspaper coming out in April to get it. I'm doing a special article on it.

According to the scanner there was extra patrols around the school for dismissal, too.
There was, Craig. They were parked all around the school. I'm thinking they were informed that more fights were going to happen after school. The enviroment was just right for it.
No, when the rest of the District is relatively quiet, the surplus cars head to Sullivan. That is the SOP.
"I'm doing a special article on it."
Good on you, Timmy. Don't let these yahoos spoil your school time.
That's good to know, Bill. It just seemed like a concidence that there was quite a few of them there a little while after a fight.
look as the a student at sullivan a willing participant in most of these "gang fight" and ann avid reader of this blog i would like to say that your4 sullivan source is unreliable this person is just a scared little field mouse in a school of lions his reports are always and i mean always ficicious and overstated as the center of most of the drama in the school i want to report that it was 4 kids fighting if that two kids fought 1-on-1 i know because again i put a finger or two in no arrest were made and no injuries occured and as one of the undesirables that u so often speak of i would like to say that sullivan is a safe place for people who aren't involed in the drama and for your informant i would say keep your identity secret because u have alot of people who want a word or two with you
Unreliable? I only report on what I see, and it's true. I don't have any reason to lie to these people. Even those kids know it's true. In fact, I haven't even see all of the fights. I've had others come up to me and tell me what happened. When I say I see a fight, I do, and I always make sure I'm reporting on the right number of people I see in these fights. If I see two kids fight, I'm writing down I saw two kids fight. If I see four, I'm writing four. If I see 50, I'm writing 50. And so on. If I were lying, don't you think the staff would've been yelling at me to change the numbers or don't report on it? The staff reads this blog, and my posts. Don't you think I would've been sued or jumped (by one of the kids) for lying by now? I haven't been sued yet, so I'm not lying. And I won't lie.
Scared little field mouse? Please! Let me tell you something. I went to a much worser school than Sullivan before. In fact, I participated in some of the fights at that school, because I was bad back then but I also defended myself because people always made fun of me for no reason. I'm not trying to act tough or anything here, but I wasn't too scared of those kids and I'm not really scared of you guys. I shouldn't have to be. Ok, maybe I AM being a "drama queen" by reporting the fights and stuff (which is why I've cut down on the reports), but so what? I'm sick of it. It's not my problem if you guys fight after school, and quite frankly I don't care, but really, why can't you just go to school for 8 hours and at least try to get an education? I know, some of the teachers "trip" or they don't understand you/your problems. Don't think I don't get yelled at by teachers because I do sometimes. I admit, I've gotten mad a few times and thought the same way you guys think about teachers when you get mad. But that's not a reason not to go to school and do what you need to do. If I want to fight, I'll take it to the streets and it'll be after school. I just don't think it's worth the drama you guys go through just to fight at school.
Now in these days, I'm not really bad (though I admit, I can be sometimes) and I'd just like to go to school without all of these fights, and I'm sure as hell not the only one who doesn't. I know other kids who hate the fights too. I just want to go to school, do what they tell me and get the hell out of there without getting hurt in one of your fights. I'm really surprised nobody's been hurt yet. Sometimes you guys fight real bad and can knock someone over just walking by with the force. I mean, I've seen security and POLICE struggle to break up a few of these fights. Don't you realize that when you run to the fights, you guys are so into it that you nearly knock the people just going to class over? This has happened to me a few times and I'm tired of it.
You will never know the hell I went through at my last school, so you won't see things the way I do. I've seen people get hurt at that school, I've seen a girl try to stab somebody right in front of me, someone's threatened to shoot me before. I don't know how many times people told me they wanted to jump me. In a food fight, as I was trying to get away, I was knocked to the floor and hit over the head with a flying tray. So that's why I don't fear a lot of people. But at the same time, it's made me more cautious of the people I hang with it. It's not worth just hanging in the streets all day or being in a gang. Trust me, I know this, because my best friend was killed by gangs (and he wasn't even in a gang). That's why I'm outspoken about the fights. I'm sick of them.
Continuing...
Yeah, sure, Sullivan is pretty safe for those not involved in these fights, but honestly, how long will that last? If you guys keep fighting the way you do, somebody's going to get hurt. I can see it already. And let me say this, if this don't stop, somebody's going to get shot or stabbed. I know how gangs do things. I live in a neighborhood full of gangbangers.
Let me also say this. I don't care if there's two of you fighting 1-on-1. Or even three or four of you. That's not a big deal. I'll leave that up to the school to handle and not really write about it. It becomes a big deal where there's a big crowd running around, knocking people over or trying to fight them.
As for your last statement, is that a threat? I've tried to keep my identity a secret, but all of these adults think I'm some kind of real good kid who does nothing wrong, and they want to put me out there (but that's not the case. I'm just your regular, average teen). I've asked not to be put out there. But then again, why should I have to hide? Sullivan is the school where I go to and I shouldn't have to be scared of kids trying to jump me in the hallways just because I'm writing about what happens. So? What about all of these other people who do? You don't do a thing to them. And you know who they are. And, like I said, I write because I want someone to see what the hell's going on so they can stop the fights because there's some kids like me who want to just go to school without all of the drama. I don't just think of myself. Who told you that lie? I see kids all the time who say they hate all the fighting too. We all want change, and I'm just helping put the word out there. There's not a crime in that. And quite frankly, I'm not giving into your threat. I won't stop coming to school and stop being me just because of what you said.
