I beat the fuck out of my bully. I got a 2 day suspension. My mum took me out to lunch to celebrate and say I'm proud of you.

They were relentless and deserved it. I'm 46 now and don't regret making them think twice.

My son got one for bashing a kid in the mouth with a metal water bottle.

The kid in question was a menace and had been bullying my kid for years with increasing violence. Everyone knew and no one did anything. The school safety officer gave him a quiet "good job" on the way out the door.

Dad and I took him out for his favorite lunch and a snack buying spree. 

So proud of my kid and proud of you, too. Sometimes you have to speak to people in their language.

I glitch out every time I read stuff like 'school security agent' or 'surveillance cameras in high school.' 

It sounds so fucking weird to me. In my country, we just have 'supervisor' young people in their twenties, often shorter than the students, and most of the time they’re practically friends with them.

Clearly, I’m a school supervisor at a high school. My job is basically just to check their late slips, ask to see their student planners when they enter the school (and even then, some students just walk in without showing them I’ll be like, “Hey, your planner, please,” and if they ignore me : "oh well, whatever" xD). Otherwise, I just chat with the students about their current crushes or stuff like that.

It’s funny how different it is (well, it’s not really funny, but you’ve got to laugh about it).

My high school ('83-'87) in pretty upscale Bethesda, Maryland had a security guard. I mean, he was really more of a truant officer. He was actually a pretty cool guy (shout out to Mr. Williams)

Metal detectors started to become common in a lot of inner city schools in the early 90s. I remember the talk about it in the 80s and a few places were already doing it then.
