When I was in highschool the thing was 9ering. It had been going on for years, and every grade 8 student knew it was coming. Year before I got to school, the most damage that was done, was grade 9 students would have the word "9er" written on their face in magic marker. I dreaded that, but it was usually only done to grade 9 students that knew people in the higher grade. My friends and had it done, but the worst we got it was having "9er" written all over our arms. They left our face alone. This usually happened the first week of school. However, the year I went to highschool was the year it started to get out of hand. Not only was "9er" written all over their faces, kids had flower, sugar, oil, eggs, maple syrup poured all over them. One boy I knew we tossed into the trunk of a car (coverd in egg and maple syrup I might add) and driven around for a while.
One kid was duct taped to a chair and then to the flag pole in the rain.
Several students were arrested and charged/convicted of assult. several students were suspended. The administration put a stop to this.
