Are prefects real?
The game "Bully" has 4 students who patrol the school, enforcing the rules and busting and beating people who break them, and then taking them to the office.

According to Google, a prefect is a student who has been given permission to enforce discipline.

I have never, ever seen any school with prefects in real life.

Has anyone here actually ever went to a school with prefects?

I know for one thing that Bully does not take place during the 60s.

Plus, Google images of prefects appear to be recent.

I was a prefect at my school. Of course, it wasn't like the exaggerated portrayal in Bully

Are prefects actually allowed to beat people?

And what happens if you beat up a prefect?

No they aren't, obviously.

The same thing that happens if you beat any other student.

I like to go to nearby campuses and clobber people. Am I not entitled to a citizens arrest? I just can’t seem to find anybody to haul them away. I’ve got more important things to do.

Well then why is beating up Prefects in Bully such a major offense then?

I had prefects in my schools. They're students with spotless disciplinary records and good grades. They take note of misbehaving students and report offenses to teachers, who are the ones who give out disciplinary measures.

Because it is a video game.

Prefects are mostly found in private and boarding schools. They are exemplary students who are given the power to enforce certain rules and lead by example. They don't assault students, and students don't run around assaulting them. They haul you off and report you to the administration.

This thread really worries me.

Um, why? I'm simply asking if prefects exist or not.

My school has them, most of the time they're the egotistical, selfish, fat, and friendless people.

Na man, they get weeded out by all the normal students usually. By either no one wanting to be their friend, or slightly worse but not physical methods. Atleast in my school, at 2nd grade I'd say a hefty 15% of students were prefects, now in 10th grade there's less then 10.

>comparing the behavior in a video game and equating it with real life

Come on man. Stuff like this is why the media keeps protrarying video games as a cause for school shootings.
