I don't think the school administrators were ready for all that jelly.
Good, get rid of this cancer anyway you can
They deserve punishment, but not anywhere near that badly.
also the video is hilarious
jesus christ I dont even
these people are near my age
this is the stupidest thing I have ever seen and I've seen some pretty stupid shit. Just, combined with "...and all because of an awesome twerk video. I don't understand.", like holy shit

Yep this sounds like a typical high school story

Wow what? so some people twerked (not that god anyways) and you are crying like it's the end of humanity, seriously? So because of that it's ok that they can't go to prom or go to grad and suspended? jesus man.
Come on twerking is fucking hilarious

Ok? that doesn't justify being over dramatic like old men hating kids
Twerking is kinda stupid, but I do feel as if being banned from prom and prevented from walking at graduation is a tad bit too severe. I mean, shit, high school only comes once.
What the hell is twerking?
...OH
How did they think nothing bad would come of this?
[QUOTE=bobsynergy;40495529]Ok? that doesn't justify being over dramatic like old men hating kids[/QUOTE]
I don't think you understand how the school can get in trouble for students doing something like this.
It has nothing to do with "old men hating kids", they were using SCHOOL PROPERTY ON SCHOOL PROPERTY to facilitate BREAKING SAID SCHOOL'S rules.
Think it's time to grow up a bit.
From walking at Grad? God damn that is severe.

I'm not crying and it's not the end of humanity? I didn't say "I've lost faith in humanity, everything is awful", I said, "Holy shit, these kids are fucking stupid", because I think they're stupid.
And like I said, it's a pretty severe punishment, the prom and maybe a couple days' suspension would've been enough, graduation is pretty far. But, it's not like they didn't deserve it, as Steve is trying to explain to you.

Yes it does, because they did something and they were punished for it as stupid as it is and that's the end of it. But being dramatic like this Rikus post and yours are ridiculous, you sound like old men hating kids, like do you go out with your friends and they do something ridiculous and you awkwardly judge them in your head or something thinking they are retards?

Did I ever say they didn't deserve a punishment? obviously doing something like this on school grounds and especially with school equipment is stupid yes but you are being dramatic

Dramatic? I'm stating facts lol, "too severe" doesn't really matter as the school isn't a democracy, and it's purely the school's choice - don't want to be punished? Don't break the rules, it's common sense you're not supposed to do this on school grounds and with school equipment
I think twerking is stupid but I think a lot of things are stupid, me and my friends do "stupid" stuff sure, but I don't go "oH man I BROKe x rule why am i being punished????????????????"

"Twerking is a cancer we need to get rid of it" is not a fact, and [quote][B]but I don't go "oH man I BROKe x rule why am i being punished????????????????"[/B][/quote] is being dramatic.
I'm haven't mentioned that the punishment is to severe and stupid once, I'm talking about you guys being over dramatic about this whole thing.
Everytime some kids do something stupid and make the news there is always people making it sound like they are special needs and need rehab like come on.

I just told you I thought it was dumb so I'm not sure why you quoted my first post in here but okay
but
"Suspended, banned from prom, and prevented from walking at graduation all because of an awesome twerk video. I don't understand.”"
is pretty equal to
"oH man I BROKe x rule why am i being punished????????????????"
it's not dramatic at all lol
[I]Thirty-Three[/I] people were involved?
[I]Why?[/I]
Jesus twerking is stupid
It's disgusting and honestly the thought of any girl doing it would be an immediate turn-off for me
Even the name "twerk" is onomatopoeic for "this is going to be something disgusting".
What the hell is twerking now? It sounds like a name for the random twitching you make after breaking your neck.
"To show support for everybody getting suspended, we should all twerk at once at lunch #freethetwerkteam."
I imagine around 6 kids will stand up and do it while the rest of the students watch awkwardly
And then they get suspended
