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.

School violence is so sad and can have a lasting impact on all involved. My heart aches for anyone who has lost a loved one or friend to school violence.

Not My Son

According to one family, their 15-year-old son had been bullied, and they told him to stand up for himself. The other family said their 16-year-old son and only child was not a bully. A female student told her father she witnessed the 15-year-old boy constantly being picked on by the 16-year-old.

BLOG POST #74: Hold on tight and be forewarned, this week the research topic is gruesome.

Security video showed the young high school math teacher leave her classroom and innocently walked down the hall to a female restroom.

The video also showed a 14-year-old male student leave the same classroom behind the teacher, pull his hoody onto his head and follow her into the restroom.

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.

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.
