I'm sorry, but what the hell is wrong with this school? There is no excuse for the school to have not been on top of this mess. When I was in high school, there was none of this. My high school was low-perfoming and gang-ridden, but my high school officials were ON TOP OF EVERYTHING. When they heard that two girls planned to fight at our powderpuff game, they CANCELLED IT. End of story. If a couple of people couldn't get along, it was spoiled for everyone. This was not popular with the students, but hey - NO ONE GOT HURT. Who cares if a school has national accolades if it can't even keep it's students safe? And since we were provided with a history of this "event' dating back to the 70s, no one at the school can say they were not aware of this possibility of hazing for this year's powderpuff.
And please don't say that this is only in the media because these kids are from an affluent area and they did something heinous that was caught on tape. Please...every night when you turn on the news you see low-income kids who have committed crimes, too...and of all the "teen crime" stories, these are shown the most. This is in the media, because like teenage gang shootings, or teen vandalism, TEENS HAZING each other IS WRONG. That is why it's in the news.
