 I was just talking to a friend of mine about this today: what those movies got wrong is that it wasn't the jocks who terrorized kids. 

It's almost never the jocks! The jocks are usually too busy being jocks.

At my school, we had the actually weird kid(s) who killed and ate lizards during school lunch and shit like that. Like yeah yeah, romanticize loners all you want, but there's just some flat out pathological behavior to be concerned about. I made the transition from preppy good girl to artsy "bad" girl in high school due to getting kicked out of my family before senior year, and there really is a big difference between socially awkward kids clustered together wearing lots of black and doing geek shit and maybe committing some light crimes vs...dude who eats live lizards and kills birds and stabs a girl.

And I went to a very well off public school...

Yeah. Like you had people you didn't like and you'd snipe at one another. sometimes as a guy there would be a fight or two but it was just hormones and teen angst as opposed to anything really horrible.

Buuuut then there was the kid who was always being picked up for shoplifting, always in detention, always getting into trouble and making everyone else's lives miserable. A buddy of mine was a very nice guy but looked intimidating AF so he got into some weird circles and he was kinda sorta friends with the kid and said he was actually smart but had a shit life at home and figured he was going to prison real fast so didn't really give af.

He ended up trying to burn down the school. Ended up just torching the admin office but an attempt was made, he tried fleeing the country and got caught at the border...it was a weird year...
