Burning bridges

One of the worst experiences in middle to high school. To burn a bridge is to break away from a close friend, who you have consistently been on good terms and have had happy memories together. A simpler way: burning up your friendship or connections with someone important to you. A warning to anyone: don't do it. You will seriously feel down, and until that person (or even you) has apologized, you'll both feel bad. It emotionally rips you, as a friend will start avoiding you, express anger at you, etc. until you tell them how you're feeling about this.
And don't think this doesn't happen at your school.

It does. It tears people apart.

Maybe some are striking a match, others with a wildfire, while others are completely disconnected.

Rebuilding bridges can take years, yet burning one could just take a day.
A example of burning bridges includes:

Avoiding certain individuals (physically avoiding someone, blocking/not responding to chats over the Internet)
Shouting or expressing anger at you ("I HATE YOU" "STFU" "SHUT UP" "GO AWAY")
Attacking someone physically (hitting, pushing)
Attacking someone mentally (saying nasty things directly to you)
Attacking someone socially (spreading/starting nasty rumors/gossip about you to others)

burning man

The community experience so fondly trumpeted as the living skin of the Burning Man is pocked, scarred, and so lacerated that it is no longer the durable integument needed to sustain the Burning Man's viscera. Last year's community was such a stark and realistic representation of modern civilization that it reminded me of my own downtown Oakland.
Burning Man, the man who murdered both his parents... pleaded for mercy on the grounds that he was an orphan.
