The University of Iowa is being sued by the remaining orphans that lived due to the mental damage that Wendell put them in.

“You didn’t make the team this year,” are the gut wrenching words that have the power to bring a high school athlete to tears. After reading the team roster posted outside the coaches office and not seeing my name on it. As a freshman, I had always heard the stories of how former players had reacted to the news of being cut, some left school in tears, some tried to beg the coach to give them another chance, some hit a wall and broke their knuckles and most spent the next month in isolation not wanting to face former team mates. It only made the pain worse to see the look of sadness on the faces of your friends. Until it happens to you, it’s hard to imagine the dull and wrenching pain that rushes through your body.
Over 60% of students had cheated in the past month, which is fairly recent, and a staggering 83% had cheated in the past quarter. This showed us that cheating is an on going problem that almost certainly happens daily in Perry Hall High. To sum up our survey we asked students to tell us how big of a problem they though cheating was in our school on a scale from 1 to 5, 5 being the most serious. 41% responded a 3 with the rest of the figure split evenly between 1,2,4, and 5. We concluded from this that students don’t really care about the subject or are indifferent about it.
A seven year old boy finally fought back, after being bullied for over 2 years. He begged him to leave him alone, he even confessed to teachers what was going on, but nothing worked. The bully abused the kid no matter how hard he tried to escape him. This young man and among many others get bullied everyday, making it difficult and unsafe for students to attend school. As horrific as this little boy’s story is, just
I love you son!" After two weeks Joseph was back at school and better than ever. He apologized to everyone for the way that he was acting and he told them that it would never happen again. The nurse had told him that," Your so called friend had gave you a handlebar, which is a very serious drug." Ever since that day Joseph have not said anything to Traymond.
An eighteen page checklist is not the answer. Most examples of “standing up” is not institutionally okay anymore. Post Columbine High, schools seem to be terrified of any specter of violence. If a student beats up his tormentors, or even if he loses, he or she is automatically suspended or expelled from school under the zero tolerance policies. If he or she hurts the bully badly enough, he or she can be tried in a juvenile court.
We all have been embarrassed by acne but have you ever been the one without acne in a whole entire High school? Last year at Colombia High, a high school that consists of more than 1,000 faculty and students, acne broke out on all of the faces in the school except one. The one girl that remained untouched by the sweeping epidemic was Devynn Sever, a sixteen year old girl that attends the local high school. The severe cases of acne was claimed to be caused by the enormous amounts of work the students are assigned daily. We were able to talk to one of the students at Columbia High about the acne breakout that happened the previous day.
All I ever wanted was to be accepted by them. They all loved me and it was nice to be accepted by my older classmates. They took me places and did stuff with me that I had never been given the chance to do before. I really had a great year with them until drama began because my best friend was mad I left her for them. As I soon realized, high school was no different than middle school.
Kids want to go outside past ten, disobey their parents, and lots of talks about drugs. In my middle school life, I have seen fights, kids cursing at teachers, and lots of suspensions. Maybe these were caused by puberty or stress, but it was a bad experience. I’m not saying I was a goody-goody because I wasn’t, but there were lots of kids far worse off than I was. Social hierarchy, a term lots of you may know because of World History, began in middle according to me.
I was real nervous when I heard this because I was only a sophomore and my coach had unreal expectations of me. The season flew by and it seemed as if we lost every game. We had another horrible season but it didn’t mean much to me since I was only a sophomore. After that season is when I realized that my whole life I was never on a winning team. I knew that my teammates and I had to work harder during the off-season if we wanted to start winning
