I think it's the same in Japan both #1 and #2. I understand why you didn’t ask your teacher to help you.

That wasabi game Atsushi was talking about sounds pretty intense. I don't think I could try it. But at least your chances of dying are less than with Russian Roulette. Why did I take matters into my own hands instead of telling the teachers? There are two reasons: 1. Like I said before, the school was run by clowns, and as most of the teachers were incompetent boobs, I knew they would never help me. Instead, they'd probably blame me for letting someone get my locker combo. However, that wasn't the only reason. There were a couple of good teachers who I could rely on, but this is where factor #2 comes into play: 2. The "tattle tale" effect. Nobody likes a <a href="http://specialed.about.com/od/handlingallbehaviortypes/a/tattle.htm" rel="nofollow">tattletale</a>, especially in Junior High. It's best to handle your own problems, cause tattling is something to be reserved for emergencies only (example: if you overheard a plot to blow up the school). I know it sounds stupid now, but I think most kids never go to teachers for help due to factor #2. Thanks for the comments everybody!

I guess that punk might think it was poisoned. I rather curious that you never depended on the school teachers. You didn't report it even though the school was run by bunch of clowns. In Japan, most of the students must report the theft cases at school to the teachers. And the teachers are responsible to solve the problems. If the teachers don't do anything about it, the parents would accuse them! If the teachers had been dependable, would you have reported to them? Or, even though, would you have made the wasabi sandwich? Anyway, I think your solution was the best! It’s fun. Well done!

By the way, do you know the game using wasabi in food like that you did ?It's a kind of Russian roulett and pupuler(?) in Japan. You make foods (sandwich is ok) for number of members attending the game, and put tons of wasabi inside only one food beforehand. Each of members select a food for themselves one by one, and eat them at the same time. You can find the person who eat food with wasabi soon. I think you can guess the reason. Do you like a game like that? I've never tryed it. It is interesting story.
