netanya, 93-97 in worst high school of the city. those that were expelled from it, next stop was a cross between school and juvie. fights were few and between. those that i remember had ethnic background.

Do you mean that the fighters were of an ethnic minority that apparently had a higher cultural acceptance of violence, or that the fights were ethnic conflicts?

  it was "russians" vs "maroccans" (actually all of them jews). fights were between kids that were troublemakers anyway on either side of equation. usually as follow up to some slur like "dirty russian" and whatever could be thrown into other direction. but there were only like 2 or 3 of those fights over 4 years in school. rest of time it was quiet

Really?! I guess we got different samples. I don't recall many/any ethnic based stuff, olice intervention and I don't even know of anyone who went to juvie.. or even to court. I do know some kids who went to pnimiya over this kind of thing... but that was parents not authorities. Same years, 5km apart, different experiences. ...Maybe just a different recollection of the experiences.

  we probably misunderstood one each other - i though that you wrote that you had fights in raanana :) in general it was totally peaceful in netanya, no "testosterone measurements" with exception of couple of big fights that did get police involvement

    I did. There were fights around that age, middle school. I just noted that repercussions were mild at the time. I definitely don't remember police involvement in kid affairs until high school, and even then it wasn't about violence. I don't think it's that way anymore.

      well, those couple of fights that i talk about, were massive. kids from other schools in city arrived in following days "to show presence". so there were some police. (i am describing high school, grades 9-12). but in daily life, there were no fights that I remember.
