If this is the reason, the person might feel lonely or might not get any attention at home or in general. Some of the pranks go way too far and here is one that got way out of hand. According to Inside Addition, On April 1, 2015, students at an apartment complex near Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan, were victims of a horrifying end to a thought to be "funny" prank. According to the captain of the Allendale Fire Department, some female college students were joking around and tossed a lit firecracker at another roommate. The firecracker landed on a hamper full of clothes, sparking a fire inside the apartment. Luckily the building was evacuated and no one was hurt, no charges were brought in the incident. This is one reason why these pranks need to be limited and stopped. These pranks are not only to entertain others or even to get attention, but is also used to make a person feel better about
Girls and women ran to the doors and to the elevator. The elevator operator saved as many as he could, but he had to stop running the elevator because the fire had spread too far to keep operating it safely. Sisters, mothers, and daughters were separated. For some, the last thing they saw of their family member was either them going down the elevator, or trapped in the building. The workers became truly desperate. Some threw themselves down the elevator shaft after the elevator stopped coming. Others rushed to the fire escape, but it collapsed under all the weight. The firemen were not able to catch any of the girls that jumped through the window because the nets broke, the ladder on the tuck only reached to the sixth floor, and the water from the fire hose only reached the seventh floor. The firefighters sprayed the building as high as they could in hopes that the mist would cool the fire and start to put it out. The women soon realized that escape was hopeless. Knowing that they were going to burn to death, some turned to the window and jumped. None of the girls that jumped survived the fall. Within twenty minutes of the fire breaking out, there were bodies lying on the street and people surrounding the building. The total number of victims of the fire was 146. Nineteen bodies were recovered from the elevator shaft, and fifty-four workers died by jumping out of windows. 12 The two founders, Harris and Blanck, made it out of the burning building alive, but some of their family members worked in the upper floors of the factory and were killed by the fire.

The New york Times “Men and Girls die in the Waist Factory Fire; Trapped High Up in Washington Place Building; Street Strewn with Bodies; Piles of Dead Inside." describes the way this workers got killed: “Most of the victims were suffocated or burned to death within the building, but some who fought their way to the windows and leaped met death as surely, but perhaps more quickly, on the pavements below.” Unfortunately none of the employees who decided to jump to the floor survive.
Never permit any tomfoolery close by your forklifts. In 2003, an adolescent was included in a lethal forklift mishap. He was remaining on a forklift when it all of a sudden moved in reverse. The forklift slammed through shut stacking straight entryways and fell four feet on to the ground. The adolescent tumbled off the forklift and it landed specifically on him. There are incalculable occasions of individuals being seriously harmed or even slaughtered as a result of clowning

It took workers longer than people expected to evacuate the building. People think a cigarette bud landed in a pile of cotton and went through the building landing on other piles. Soon, it went into the building and spread. Workers were jumping from the window and landing on concrete. Some were landing on the net and doing somersaults to the hard ground. The workers were on fire which caught the nets on fire and ripped. The ladder only reached to the 6th floor. Workers on the 9th floor went in the stairway to find it dark. They had to maneuver their way through the crowd. When they got to the door, they found it locked. Employees had locked the doors to prevent latecomers and keep out union organizers. Once the fire department put out the fire at exactly 5:15 pm, they had found 144 workers dead.
The building was fireproof. It shows now hardly any signs of the disaster that overtook it. The walls are as good as ever so are the floors, nothing is the worse for the fire except the furniture and 141 of the 600 men and girls that were employed in its upper three stories.
The teacher then called the principle which resulted in the police being called. When the police got there he asked student to get up and when he didn’t get what he wanted he flipped her out the chair and dragged her across the room. Even though bad behavior is not excepted in schools there could have been different ways the situation could have been handled other than aggressive force.
He got up in the middle of the night trying to attack everybody. Then, he pulled his pants down in front of these kids. Nobody could control him, nobody wanted him to go to jail. So his auntie got fed up! She called 911 and needed an ambulance as soon as possible.

The hallways are strewn with food and missing articles of clothing. The bathrooms are covered in a mixture of bodily fluids and dirt that was tracked in from outside. The students are loud and disorderly until they catch word of the resident advisors doing rounds. Then they disappear into dorm rooms, but continue being loud and destructive.
The neighbors alleged that they saw an unknown man entering her residence the day of the
A female student tripped as she was going up the stairs to Spot Coffee, but did not fall. What appears to be a group of guys who are not popular (guys who are not very well known), were seating where popular students normally sat. The group of guys started laughing at the girl and stopped. One guy kept laughing, but it was obvious he was forcing the laughter to purposely attract attention. He started making jokes about the girl and carrying on the laughter so he would appear funny.

Humor can be used like a sniper's gun, picking people off when they least expect it. When we use humor to hurt, we abuse the fundamental essence of this wonderful gift. We must teach our children the difference between what is funny and what is cruel. A joke is never humorous if it is at the expense of another.
You can find wide varieties of these crude pieces on the internet, and it is not uncommon to hear them in the hallways of schools, or whispered among students and followed by unjustified giggles.
