Anyone who’s been to high school can likely tell you a thing or two about pranks. After all, they’re a fairly common part of growing up, particularly in environments where hundreds, if not thousands of young people are thrown together.
Yet though I was witness to my fair share of practical jokes during my school years, I don’t ever remember watching a prank play out that threatened someone’s life.
Call me old-fashioned, but I think there’s a definite, sacrosanct line that shouldn’t be crossed when it comes to pranks that put people in real danger. Like, for example, exposing them to something they’re highly allergic to.
That’s exactly what happened at Lake Travis High School, Texas, last year, when Carter Mannon’s football teammates decided to sprinkle peanuts in his locker.
