ok. it seems some of you seniors need advice as to forcing those minor niners into giving you respect. well follow my tried and tested plan and it will happen for sure.
1)do what elasmoskichick does- push them around. if youre going down the hall and a group of freshmen are standing in a group together, bulldoze youre way through them, hopefully knocking some of their books, or maybe even some of them, to the ground. and even if they are halfway across the hall, dont hesitate to swerve and run them over. when grade 9's realize that the seniors of their school will not think twice about physically hurting them, they will likely get out of the way any way they can. this is a sign of some form of respect in itself if you have them moving out of your way throughout the hallways.
2) The next thing to do is random beatings. Its all well and good if they move out of youre way all the time, but this in itself doesnt mean that they totally respect you. That is why you and a group of friends have to, in between every class, drag one freshman into your locker bay, and physically and psycologically beat them. This could mean saran wrapping their arms and books to their body and forcing them to walk to class that way, writing funny personal facts all over their faces, pulling their pants down and shoving them back into the hall, or whatever else will totally embarass them in front of their peers. If grade nine's realize that not only dso they have to avoid being trampled in the halls, but they as well must stay aware of being privatly initiated, they will surely have a new level of fear and respect for you guys.
3) The last thing that you have to do is in the very essence of this thread...hit on their hot freshman friends. If they realize that you are taking away all their hot girls from their grade, they will know not to mess with you, but instead they will learn to respect your smoothness with the ladies and they will probably copy your style in hopes to get some chicks back for themselves.
if you do all of these steps correctly, they will be sure to learn not to mess with the seniors, and when the time comes for their turn at being seniors, they will likely do all the same things to freshmen as you did to them, because the methods are tried, tested and true. and why do i know all this? because i went through it all myself, and i am living proof of this cycle.
hope that helps.
