first year of highschool, friend groups already formed. the classes started 7:30, and went until to 17:10; 10:00 to 10:20 and 15:10 to 15:30 was a short break where they gave out food and sometimes drinks (like chocolate milk, coffee, etc) and 12:00 to 13:30 it was lunch time. 12:30 to 13:00 they locked the doors to make sure nobody would steal other peoples stuff.
around the time of 12:30 to 13:00, some kids (including me) were bored and wanted to go get our backpacks, i believe because the next class was in the computer labs, meaning we’d still have to walk a bit to get there. since we were bored kids, we started joking around, acting like we were going to punch the door, kick it, etc. some other kid just came in and kicked the door open, breaking everything around the handle.
so anyway, the people that were doing the thing in front of the door (other than me) went to the principal’s office or whatever that’s called, together with some people who were just sitting around. everyone was punished. the kid who actually broke the door was supposed to pay a bigger portion of the new door, though he never paid (afaik). and the others that went into the office had to pay a smaller portion each. yes, even the ones who went just to confirm that the kid did the thing, and were literally sitting on the floor until it happened. i was one of the ones who were doing the thing on the door, but i just kinda didn’t know what to do so i sat down and i wasn’t punished. lol
the excuse the doorbreaker kid’s parents gave was that he was autistic, couldn’t understand it was a joke and wanted to help.
oh and of course at later years of highschool there was sex, drugs, and other crap of the same caliber. not me though, i just kinda started dating in the first year and we never broke up… now she’s my fiancée or however that word is spelled!

Great anecdote. I was thinking how unfair it was to make the jokesters pay until…
Yeah. If you create the conditions in which someone acts, then you share responsibility.
