"Teenage boys vandalising their school&amp;#039;s bathrooms have forced the headteacher to take drastic action and ban toilet paper from school bathrooms. Pennsylvanian-based Mahanoy Area High School have told male students they must go to the nurse or the school office to request toilet paper, and consequently sign it in and then out again afterwards.  The policy was put in place by the principal, Thomas Smith, who was tired of the bathrooms suffering vandalism and destruction on a regular basis, reports the Republican Herald. Smith said: &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;ve had serious destruction to our bathrooms for the past two years.  &amp;quot;We have a case pending with the police where a bathroom down by our gymnasium was absolutely destroyed. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m sure [the district facilities director] could tell you the times that our toilets have been jammed with toilet paper and other papers. And after we took the toilet tissue out of there, people were throwing books.&amp;quot; When asked if the policy would change, Smith responded: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m willing to communicate with anybody. I&amp;#039;m willing to put the toilet paper back, but if the bathroom is destroyed, it will be removed.&amp;quot; The high school also employs another bathroom policy in which students may only leave lessons to use the bathroom in the first and final five minutes.
