"Why is it . . ."

when it is your birthday (like it is mine today), do people at school always have to do some thing to you which 'hurts' you. With our school and around my area its 'beat' - where you get punches to the arm and you get the amount of what age you are.

I did not get many today as I try to keep it to my self, but I told my a few people knew and gave me beats and I have slight bruises but some people go home with black and blue arms . . . on their birthday!

I do not give any one beats or any thing so hope fully they don't give them to me but some people still do . . . gay boys.

Why do low lives do this? Why can't they just be happy it is your birthday? And, well, celebrate it.

Rant over.

Oh and what do people do at your school for your birthday, if any thing?

I never did.

It'z coz itz the ladz

Yup when i turned 16 i got pinned against the wall and got 16 in each arm. My teacher didn't stop them because he thought it was funny.
My arms were so bruised i couldn't lift them up and down.

He didn't find it funny when on parents evening my mum stood up in front of about 15 parents and said:

"Your an old moany t0s*er really arn't you"

He he, I was in his class for a while longer, so i had a smug feeling :P

You still at school, Chris?

It's just for a laugh, you always have something happen to you on your birthday. I was lucky enough to have my birthdays during the summer holidays though, but at the school I used to go to they would throw an egg at you, and then rinse your head under the taps at the sinks. It was just for a laugh though, and these people aren't low lifes, they got the same when it was their birthdays.

But I understand why you don't like it because some people like to be left alone and that's fair enough. I don't like to be the centre of attention, or to be 'harrased' either, but sometimes it's unavoidable, so when it does happen your best to just treat it as a joke and just go with the flow. If you can't take the jokes, then you'll always be the target as people will know they'll get a good reaction from you.

I remember when I started working in a garage, every Friday just before I was about to go home, I would be thrown into a big barrel of freezing cold water, and I had to bus it home, 20 miles away. But you just get your own back at some point. I got a bucket of water and threw it over the 'instigators' head. Needless to say I was back in the barrel soon after, but it was a good laugh.

Where? :D

Take it like a man, you wuss. It's all part of the culture.

This boy in Year 10 started crying the other day when he got "Birthday Beats". He is generally a bit of a p*ssy, but they seemed to be punching him pretty hard.

Like Ash said though, my Birthday always falls in the holidays so it's alright for me.

ahh school days, best of your life. In my school, they used to rip your teeth out when they knew it was your birthday, one for every year you'd been on this pretty little ball we call mars.

Oh so that's why I got so many weak beats, and a few hard ones off people I don't like.
