Same here, I hardly see any fights at my school mainly because of how strict they're with rules and punishments for getting into/starting a Fight and even provoking one :(

My high school had so many fights. People would come from the other high school and jump people when school got out. Then towards the end of the year we would always have huge gang fights out front.

Wow.. I completely agree with that ''Young people who bully are more likely to smoke, drink alcohol, and get into fights.''
My class haves few students who smoke and drink & fight alot. They usually mix Coca-Cola and some alcohol.
