A Birthday was another day at my High school, no one cared other than your tight nit friends. I went to a HS which everyone just tried to get through the day without anything holding them up getting; in and out was the priority.
Jr. High was a little more ritualistic, a birthday was broadcasted on the PA system for all to hear and you would receive your customary slug(s) in the arm depending on where you fit on the social hierarchy you would receive more. Fighting back would either get you more, or earn you respect it really depended on the variables at the time. Those who were known to simply slug back were held in higher esteem and would usually only get a couple of hits from those who dared challenge them.
