You may be wondering what this is. If you are, you probably didn't read the name of the video. This is a small food fight that occured at Eastdale high school, the school that I go to. Yes, I was actually in there, and no, you can't see me in the video.
But back to the point, last Friday, a food fight broke out in the cafeteria. I was sitting down peacefully, when a loaf of bread hit my ankle. Suddenly, people started screaming, and water, juice, a thing of strawberry syrup, and even a pineapple (who throws a pineapple?) are flying in the air. I knew that if I tried to get up and get away, I would be destroyed by the oncoming projectiles, so I threw up my hood, and sat face down on the table. As it died down, I managed not to get hit by anything, and I left. The cafeteria was closed for the rest of the day, and the hallway leading to it as well.
Now, this is my last year in high school, so seeing a food fight was, honestly, a bit cool. However, that was only for a split second. If there's anything to be taught here, it's this: think.
First off, that day happened to be the principle's birthday. Second, a Grade School was coming to visit on a tour of Eastdale. One of them took a poutine to the face. Third, a girl had a broken nose from getting hit in the face with a can of tuna.If there's anything to be admired, it's how much effort went into this. I learned that this had been planned for weeks, and some of the students had even payed off some Grade 10s to start fighting on the second floor to draw some of the teachers away from the cafeteria. Of course, they also talked about this on Twitter and Facebook (where you have your name and picture). Dozens of people have been suspended, and at least 6 students were expelled for causing injury to others.
In addition to all of this, teachers could end up losing their jobs for being seen as unable to control the students, tons of student planned events are most likely down the crapper since we're now seen as immature children, and several people have been injured because of this. What's more, everyone sees Eastdale as a joke now. All of this because of a bunch of idiots thought it would be funny to start a food fight.

In summary: think before you act.
