Problems and Struggles

The biggest problem that Bell High Students face are bullying, and torment. Most students here are cruel and think that any kind of abuse is okay as long as its funny. Most homosexual students are constantly pointed out and called many offensive names, but the problem with it is that no one will speak up against it or defend their friend that is being tormented. These students are constantly reminded to "just suck it up" or to "get over it" because its just a joke or they took an offensive slur the wrong way. But, the truth behind the matter is that any kind of the verbal, physical, and/or mental abuse is not okay, as long as the whole school sees nothing wrong with it nothing bad actually happens until something drastic does. People here do not realize that sometimes words can hurt and they do not know the affect it can have on people. Another thing that should not be happening here at this school is demeaning women the words "slut, hoe, whore, and tramp" are tossed around and used to describe girls all too often in this school. Another thing that is a problem here is that too many immature boys ruin the reputation of girls they have had relationships with and it should never happen again. The idea that the whole school is spreading a rumor about her can be life threatening and it should not be allowed at bell.
