Organised Violence
About 2 or 3 years ago when i was in my last years of school we were bored in a lesson when I jokingly told a friend I would give him £50 to eat a lump of his own shit. This turned into a discussion about how much cash it would take to get someone to eat their own shit or any other stupid things and how (in our adolescent minds) this would make a brilliant tv show. I was slightly fascinated by the idea of it and was talking to some other mates about it at break time when James (who was a bit of a nutcase) started suggesting things we could do to him for cash. Eventually, due to lack of resources he agreed to let one of the harder lads in our group punch him full in the face at lunchtime. He also came up with the idea of people paying a donation to watch it all happen.
During the next few lessons he started to spread the word and by lunchtime there was about 30-40 people in the picnic area waiting to watch, Our school was quite strict and boring and things like this were few and far between. After a few minutes the whole thing was over and everyone went off showing the "hilarious" vidoes on their phone to others and James-who had made enough cash to pay for the admission fee into The Snooker Club on Saturday and a drink or two- went off to plan something more elabourate and dangerous to make money out of for the next day.
And then the shit hit the fan.
The next day at school started with many different people being taken out of lesson and quizzed about the incident in the Heads office. At the time James wasnt getting on with his parents and was staying at a friends house, so the teachers saw it as an attempt to exploit the "Vulnerable homeless kid" even though this wasnt the case. Someone claimed that one of the teachers had been accidently sent the video via Bluetooth but we put it down to James openly inviting people to watch in the middle of his lessons. Eventually both James and the guy that punched him were suspended for a week, the people that were sending the videos round on their phone were given after school detentions and my name wasnt even mentioned once to the teachers despite the whole thing being my idea in the first place.
