Students do whatever it takes, to fit in.

<p>To anyone taking the time to read this</p>

<p>My name is J</p>

<p>No one calls me by my real name anymore so thats why its just J. Now that that wonder is off your mind, I have some thoughts I would like to share. Something came up on the news about "hazing". I heard it is happening in many places and I took it upon myself to solve this little problem in collage or anywhere else. You don't even have to understand it as "solving", you could say I am just helping. Finding out who still does this will help students to understand that risking their lives to fit in is...well very stupid. Hazing is something that got me angry once I heard it. What mind made my anger worse was the study that they did on hazing. when guys are the one having to do the hazing, other people both men and women tries to help. But when a GIRL does it, only afew men help, but women always helps. They believe men tend to find it... what they call "A hot show". My only goal in all this is, to find out where this is still happening so I could study what sick minds this teenagers have. Or should I call them kids since in my point of view, Hazing is just a newer version for the little kids to fit in the big boys. My question to the readers, What do you think about Hazing? What do you know about hazing? Where do you think all this is happening? And.... Did you know 7% of the students or more who gets involve dies from this? Please reply, your imformation would help me in my study</p>

<p>Did you get your information from that What Would You Do? show on (I believe) ABC?</p>

<p>I’d like to think that 7% statistic is a bit exaggerated, or there’d be some serious (even moreso than already in place) cracking down.</p>

<p>Hazing sucks and frats that do it suck. That’s why I’m glad there’s no greek life at my uni. If you want insta-friends and some artificial “bonding-through-mutual-difficulty” experience, then go for it. </p>

<p>I’ll connect and make friends with people naturally and bond through real trials and tribulations, not by drinking a gallon of vodka and fear factor concotions and embarassing myself repeatedly to garner the favor of some 19 or 20 year old d-bag wearing cargo shorts with pizza sauce on his face.</p>

<p>But yeah, can’t quite figure out what your post is trying to say. Do people actually try to save people from “the hazing” at all? The people getting hazed all agree to it, basically, to win “cool” points. If I saw life-threatening violence between girls outside, I might step in if the fight crossed that line. But that’s not typical “hazing.” It’s usually drink as much alochol as the simian frat leaders (a year older than you) put in front of you, disregarding your own rationaly and bodily instincts.</p>

<p>But it comes down to the fact that you can’t be “hazed” if you don’t agree to it. The power comes from: they’re going to degrade you, and you’re going to take it willingly because you desperately want their acceptance. I’ve never really seen much of frat life but I have not heard good things about them. Flame away if you’re in one.</p>
