And today suburban teens act out on the T

This is interesting when urban black kids run wild the media refer to them as wilding or wolfpacks. What is the proper term when white suburbanites run wild.
Either way its been a tough week for the MBTA Police.

...I was slightly late to work tonight due to the red line train I was on being stuck at South Station for close to 15 mins. The doors opened and closed countless times - every time they were open I could hear something that sounded like a riot or demonstration far away - I pictured that perhaps there was some sort of political demonstration upstairs...I didn't guess that it was drunken teens on their way to a sporting event. In any case it was very weird. It felt as if the world was on attack somewhere beyond the train car, and we couldn't move.

I was on the front car; I do remember there being some cryptic announcement about no one getting on the 2nd car - maybe that's where the mob was? I didn't see any chaos or anything, and everyone on my car seemed to be waiting (patiently or not) to move on - but no hint of what was actually happening.

I'm glad it was nothing truly serious. And I hope the kids are oh-so proud of themselves...:-(

I'm sad to say that I am a Braintree student and one of the kids that were on the train. I apologize on behalf of the braintree kids and students that actually have respect for others. It is sad that we are looked down upon because of our classmates.

my greenline train waited a bit to enter Park, and the driver said the train in front had a problem. It was probably the train with the broken window, because when we did pull into the station, I got off and was mobbed by these boys and girls wearing blue shirts that said BHS. I didn't know what school they were from but noticed they were all white and I think some Asian, so thought it couldn't have been a Boston school. Anyway, they all jumped on the train I got off. And they were not 'wilding'...LOL. They weren't being aholes towards people, they were just very psyched up for their game. But I'm sure NO ONE else were pleased to have them on their train.

I saw a few of these hordes of teens running through the streets on the way to the Garden in the vicinity of the Congress st. garage. They were screaming and yelling at random pedestrians and cars, and randomly darting into traffic. Surprised none of them got run over.

Cares! Get on the Orange line between 2-4, its a zoo. Is this only news because the kids are White? Because i see Black kids at Forest Hills act like this on a consistent basis.

Braintree Patch reports school officials are not thrilled:

Headmaster James Lee said that students will be talked to in a large group Tuesday afternoon and that letters will go home to parents.

"There was misbehavior and we’re addressing that," he said.

I am a former student of Braintree High School and the same thing occurred last year when the girls basketball team made it to the garden. It sucks for the students who dont drink and just want to cheer on their team. I was one of those students and it ruined the game for me having to take care of the students who were full on drunk. The school administrators should have known it was going to be crazy and put teachers on the trains with the students to try and handle the situation.

Braintree has always had a bad reputation for underage drinking and most likely forever will. No matter if its a school event, St Patricks parade, sports parade, etc. there will always be that drunk out of control underage crowd. Its way to easy for them to purchase alcohol and none of the students will ever learn there lessons if there always just given warnings. There should be transit police on trains in these situations or at least undercover cops. Events like last nights girls basketball game should of been a fun school event, rather than being out of control and trashed. The students involved in destroying of the train should defiantly be punished. Its never going to stop and every school grade is just getting worse and worse when it comes to drinking in Braintree. It is seriously a disgrace. Im sick of always hearing about these situations because they always involve underage drinking. There needs to be a serious change and Braintree needs to have a better reputation!

I am a Braintree High School student and am embarrassed by what happened. I purposely got a ride to the game not to encounter the drunk students. These behavior discourages other kids like me who don't drink that actually want to go to the game and cheer them on from going. People don't want to be associated with the people who misbehave so they don't go to school events. The school has cancelled the doge ball game until further notice and is considering cancelling all after school activities.

Jessica, notably I can understand the nuisance that you might have faced while trying to commute alongside an exited crowd of passionate fans, and apologies have been expressed by many. I would also like to note for you, and all who read this, that not everyone was out-of-control like the crowd had been portrayed, nor does this description even represent the majority. However, It is exceedingly more rude of you Jessica to say that you hope that BHS lose the basketball game. The girls team, that was playing at that evening, had put in an immense amount of effort and practice to make it that far.

Third, lets try not to speculate. You are making assumptions about what the "contents of their Gatorade bottles" were, and we all know what assumptions make out of people. Never the less, even if your allegations about the behavior of the few who were holding Gatorade bottles are true (along with others commenting about possible drinking taking place) and that the bottles may have contained questionable substances, lets not be so critical. After all Jessica, it is you who posted on your website that I found saying, "bars and alcohol are where I shine. (Makes you proud, right, mom?)", So clearly alcohol and related alcohol-fueled activities are not out of your reach so lets please try to be more understanding towards some adolescents and try to stop the hypocritical criticism.

In addition,lets try to keep the condescending comments to a minimal, the "can the grown ups get a ride now" comment could be viewed as a little dramatic, especially coming from someone who "still sleep[s] with a teddy bear". (again taken from one of your website posts)

*The take away message that I am trying to convey is yes, the crowd of fanatics was certainly loud, energetic, and possibly even rowdy. Also, it is know that some kids may have crossed the line and acted out of order. I am certainly not advocating for the few reckless teens who acted poorly, but they after all if you put a hundred-plus high school students together and mix in a lot of energy, and excitement you may expect a few to not able able to handle themselves and to act unruly. Despite those few, it is important to note that as a whole this situation does NOT reflect all of the students, the school, or the town. It was just a case of a little too much excitement for some along with a controlled amount of enthusiasm expressed by the remaining kids.

As a nearly lifelong Braintree resident and a graduate of BHS, I'm incredibly embarrassed by the behavior of these kids. Underage drinking is a problem regardless of race or socioeconomic class. What I find most disturbing here is the ridiculous arrogance of these students. Go ahead and get sloppy drunk if you choose to, and go ahead and get rowdy and excited about a big game. But is it so much to ask that you be considerate of the people around you?

You idiots take the train four times a year and it doesn't make you a badass because you know how to get to Park Street. And your parents are from Dorchester and Southie, but that doesn't give you street cred. You think that everyone else should be put out - the people who take the train every single day and who know how to behave like grown ups? And that those daily commuters should just dismiss your behavior by saying 'kids will be kids' and 'all teenagers drink'?

Have some respect for the people around you. There's no justification for this kind of behavior. Kids everywhere drink, but Braintree is the town that wound up in the news. You made the town look bad, and you should be embarrassed too ... not because you made the news, but because you acted like spoiled, arrogant, white affluent suburban children.

People need to relax. They were a bunch of highschoolers trying to have a good time, and excited for their team for making it to the garden.

I am currently a Braintree High student and was very offended reading the comments. First off, we are not "wild animals," we are human beings just like everyone else. Everyone wants to act innocent and say they're embarrassed when they've caused just as much trouble as everyone else. Yes the majority of us drinks and have fun, adults act like they weren't teenagers at one point. And to the kids that drink and are trying to act innocent, you're no different from any of us so own up to your actions. Braintree is looked down upon while there are so many towns out there that are worse than us. Every town you go to will have underage drinkers and crazy teenagers so stop acting like Braintree students are the worst and talking bad about our parents. We go to school, get good grades, we graduate, and attend college. We are not animals or junkies with "heroin-addict" parents. Braintree students simply just want to have fun with their friends and cheer on the basketball team. And to the adults on the train; reevaluate what you said about us because if you have kids, I'm sure they drink and do other things as well just like every other teenager. I wasn't at the game, but I am defending my town and school because we are not bad people. You're scared of teenagers running around T Stations? Ha, I wonder how you live in a world knowing there are killers and rapists out there. You're all worrying about the wrong things.

You're all DRAMATIC!

Why doesn't everybody just shut up already? Yes we made mistakes the other night while traveling into Boston but you are acting as if we harmed multiple people. We cause a scene and some destruction and it was wrong. The students who cause damage have been punished and we as a whole have been punished by our headmaster. We're still young and make air headed mistakes but you act as if you were never young once. Underage drinking is a problem in braintree but it is also a problem in every other suburban town across the nation. We aren't a bunch of good for nothing kids though, we work hard as a school and are ranked as one of the best high schools in the state academically. It's sad that teachers are telling us that they are embarrassed to teach here because of our actions and we have all owned up to them. We have pride in our school and wanted to support our lady wamps but we went about it in the wrong way. We don't need everybody's snarky remarks on here telling us how in the wrong we are because we already know. You have no business reprimanding us unless you are a bhs staff member or a parent of a student because it really doesn't affect you. There were few kids who caused actual damage not the school as a whole. Most of the kids are only guilty of being loud which isn't much of a crime

Is this really any of your business unless you are one of my fellow classmates, a bhs parent or staff member? We made mistakes. Nobody was hurt. Underage drinking is a problem everywhere. Please all shut up. We've been punished. You all are annoying. We work hard as a school and braintree high is ranked as one of the best schools in the state academically. The few students who caused damage have been punished and don't represent braintree as a whole. So please just all shut the fuck up already

I'm sorry by why is this a big deal? There are always rowdy people on the train when theres a sporting event. Boston is known to have some of the best fans in the country. It's not surprising that teenagers who have grown up watching adults behave this way act similarly. It's also imporant to remember that a train is a PUBLIC use of transportation. If you do not wish to be around other people then you probably shouldnt ride on the train..

I'm going to report all of you for harassing the town of Braintree, Braintree High School, and the students and their parents. And the people that are from Braintree talking crap about your own town, you should be ashamed of yourself. Just because a group of kids were drunk and were being destructive, you all shouldn't judge the whole town. Therefore you're all going to get arrested for harassment.

I have read this post and all the comments.

I was at the game Monday night. I am guessing there was 500 BHS students at the game probably more. At first I was pretty impressed with the amount of kids at the game. Then I noticed there was roughly 100 students into the game. That is being generous. 100 kids in the first 5 or 6 rows cheering on the Braintree girls out of maybe 500. The majority of the kids at the game were there to make the show about them.

If you note the time the original posting was made you will noticve that was probably about halftime. That is how obnoxious, rude and disrespectful the Braintree kids were. They were so bad this was reported during the game these kids were going to see and supposedly "cheer on" their classmates.

I am going to respond to some of the comments already made.

First off anybody who thinks the teachers should be riding the T with the students can't be serious. Expecting 15-18 year olds to be mature enough to ride the T to a game isn't that far fetched. Teachers are already responsible for kids throughout the school day. Would you like the teachers to go home with the students and make them a meal before the game too? What the students did between 2:30-600 can't fall on the school. This falls on the students and parents alone.

Brings me to another point. All the students talking about how their parents did a good job because you get grades and drink. There is a lot more to parenting than making sure your kids get good grades. Any parent will tell you that. You kids keep saying you made a mistake. Well how many times do you have to make a mistake before you learn from it? You were out of control two weeks ago taking the T from a boys game at BC High. I was on the T with you! This was covered on Boston.com. Don't act like it was a one time incident. You better believe if it happened two weeks ago at another game there is no way my friggen kid is taking the T into the garden. Parents should have taken action after the first incident. You kids should have learned a lesson as well. I don't buy the "we are kids! We made a mistake" argument.

I have a friend from high school that currently works at BHS. He was at the game, in the stands, watching kids. I talked to him he said he saw maybe ten minutes of the game. He couldn't enjoy the game or cheer on the girls playing the game. He actually said, "I'm not embarrassed to be from Braintree. I'm embarrassed because that is what other places think Braintree is all about. I'm embarrassed because Most of these kids don't know how bad they were and they don't care." He directed me to google wampnation on twitter. I looked at it and you see a few kids that are geniunely sorry. You also see kids that are proud of themselves for how they acted. One twitter account even says "anyone that is embarrassed is a faggot"(apologies for the use of the word) This isn't kids will be kids. If they can't recognize their mistakes then shame on them.

This is my last point. The saddest thing about all this is that these kids over shadowed what this girls team accomplished. They took away the spotlight that the team of 10-12 girls earned. The work the Braintree coaching staff and team put in to get to that point is forgotten because you kids were drinking and couldn't handle yourselves. That is why there there is a drinking age because you kids can't handle it. You proved it at the game and on Twitter.

My apologies go out to the BHS Girls Varsity basketball team and coaching staff. These stories should have been about you. Maybe if the "cool kids" were cheering with the kids that were really fans, they could have given you a little more of an emotional push to get you those 5 points. You deserve the spotlight and it was taken away from you.

Congrats on a great season girls!

I apologize for my long rant.
I will now get a bunch of typical replies: you aren't a true wamp. You have nothing better to do than to write a book about us and Whatever other high school smart ass comment you bring to the table.
