This week, you may have heard four of the five high school boys who made the news in November 2018, for the alleged hazing incident where boys were sexually assaulted in the locker room are being charged as adults.

I’m sure the families of these boys were shocked by the allegation and now frightened their children may go to prison.

Sadly, this is not an isolated case. You may have missed two posts I did on similar crimes. I’ll be sure to summarize the outcome of the current case once it’s known.

BLOG POST #73: This week I’m sharing true-crime research on a criminal case involving gang activity at a high school.

Before school began, students gathered in the cafeteria. A fight between two boys broke out. One boy staggered from the cafeteria and collapsed in the hallway. Some students attempted to carry him to the front of the school to await first-responders. He died before help arrived.

Chalk words on walkway "Prom With Me?"BLOG POST #62: This week, I’m sharing research on a specific criminal case involving two high school students.

High school can be difficult for many teenagers. Mustering the courage needed to ask a girl on a date can cause a boy to break out in hives.

It’s no doubt scary for a teenage boy to ask a girl he’s been pining for to accompany him to the high school prom. Both possible rejection and possible acceptance bring stressful consequences. If rejected—fear of humiliation. If accepted—fear of performance.
