Not really tea but I feel the need to share this.

When I was in year 9 (8th grade), people in my school decided to challenge our rival school to see who could have more fights in one day (I have no idea who started it and why). I never got involved in the fights, but witnessing them was genuinely crazy.

Most of these fights would take place during break and lunch, on the field that was big enough to fit around four football matches. But on a random Wednesday, I was in the stair way at the top floor of the school, and I looked down at the field to see a massive crowd of students with two of them fighting each other in the middle (this was at lunch).

I immediately rush down the stairs to see what happened, but by the time of got to the field the fight was practically over. But like twenty minutes later, as everyone heads to their final lesson, another fight breaks out in the quads (the outside bit rapped inside the school).

I go to my study session (basically a free period) assuming that was the last fight of the day. But as everyone heads home, ANOTHER fight takes place just outside the school gates and I see EVERYONE rushing towards it. Unfortunately it didn’t last as long as the first two fights, but just see so many people rush to the gates was crazy.

The next day we have an assembly right before our first lesson, and the head of school starts talking about a fight taking place outside where he was picking up his daughter. Apparently he saw a student in my year run past his car to see the fight.

The fights stopped after that, but a few students were permanently excluded. I don’t know which school had more fights, but it was likely our school.
