...schools have turned into police states. My six year old son got sent to the principal's office for throwing snow at recess. Snow must now be classified as a deadly weapon. Presents given to classmates might also fall into the same category. It might be best to offer that gift when you are off school grounds.  |

i see no big deal in flowers and presents being exchanged at school..some people won't see each other off of school grounds. no matter what theres always going to be someone left out, but obviously that can't be helped.  |

Hekler...i actually agree with the snowball thing..when i was in elementry school, a kid threw a snowball at someone and it was pretty much an ice ball, and it hurt the kid pretty badly..that kid was my friend too..:( ..... as for the gifts, i don't see the problem. ppl do it in my high school all the time. it can hurt feelings, but tons of things hurt ppls feelings. thats life. and we'll all have to get use to it.  |

I disagree with this.. the reason our school gives out carnations.. NOT because of Valentines Day, it is because of the profit they use for the prom if I'm right. They also give out heart shaped lollypops (Yummy) for the prom money. I don't think it has to do with anyone leaving someone out, but I see your point. I never got a carnation in my entire school year and it never bothered me.. As I said in your last post the flowers just die by the end of the day. Let's say it's someones birthday in a class room, I would give them the gift infront of whoever.. I mean, it's their birthday, or if it was around Christmas time also, there are many people who do gift exchanges at school before Christmas break, so I don't think either of this an issue really.  |

Oh God. This is pretty funny? Is it jealousness? I really don't see the arguement in this. You know its getting bad when you can't throw snowballs and people want to ban the show of love(not pyhsical) at school.  |

well i think that if you said no a good majority of students would flip out if it doesn't affect student preformance i'm all for it, i didn't get a carnation this year, (possibly because my "guy friends") are terrified of me (litterally) ~*moonstorm*~  |

I dont see anything wrong with it, theres always gonna be someone left out, thats just how thing are unfortunatly. And some people don't ever get to see others outside of school, I see no harm in it:)  |

life isn't fair, the sooner you learn that the better. i could understand keeping things fair for say like elementery school children that are still too young to understand if they get left out, but if you are speaking of high school, i completely disagree with you. in high school, kids are morphing into the adults they will soon become and society is not going to go out of their way to make things fair for you. life isn't fair, no one ever said it would be except maybe a kid's parents. i hate it that parents raise their kids with unrealistic expectations in regards to fairness.  |

I agree completely with Doheney, life isn't fair at all, and when you get into high school, college, and the work force, no one is gonna care about fairness. They're not gonna care about your self-confidence either. Your boss is not gonna ask you how you're feeling today and if you'd like to discuss things that hurt your feelings. He wants the job done and thats it. Everyone feels left out at some point but you learn to deal and move on, LIFE ISNT FAIR. Get over it and gain some maturity as well.  |

hon, that is part of what junior high is, it is the introduction to your approaching adulthood. for the first time you are experiencing a splitting of classes, juggling multiple teachers with different teaching styles and ideas of what constitutes work, you will find you have friends that will stay friends and friends that move on to new people, you will discover who your real friends are and you may have those friends for life. this is the jr. intro to adulthood. your greater learning experience into maturity and responsibility start here and now. teachers are not going to bend over backwards to accomadate you. the reality of college is that your teacher does not usually care if you pass, fail, show up or not. they don't change their teaching style to suit you. your co workers and or bosses are not going to concern themselves with fairness and concern for your feelings, they want you to do your job. sqky is right. that is life. it doesn't have to be bitter, this is your time to learn how to cope with it. |
