Yes, unfortunately, military school hazing stories are not that uncommon. The hierarchical structure in military schools sometimes leads to situations where seniors feel they can exert power over juniors in inappropriate ways. This can range from minor annoyances like making them do extra chores to more serious forms of hazing like physical and mental abuse.
To prevent school hazing stories, supervision is important. Teachers and coaches should keep a close eye on the interactions between students, especially during initiation periods. Additionally, schools can have anonymous reporting systems so that students who witness hazing can report it without fear of retaliation. Moreover, promoting a sense of community and equality within the school can make students less likely to engage in hazing behavior as they will see their peers as equals and not as targets for hazing.
Well, a typical school hazing story involves bullying-like behavior. In some schools, in the name of 'initiation', senior students might take the lunch money of junior students. Or they might make the new students sing a silly song in front of the whole class. It's also not uncommon for there to be hazing in school clubs. New members could be made to do push - ups every time they make a small mistake during club activities.
I knew of a high school where the hazing in the drama club involved making the newbies carry around heavy props all day long without any real reason. It was a form of hazing to show who was 'in charge' among the old members. But it ended up making some new members want to quit the club as they felt overworked and unappreciated.
Often, the long - term psychological impact on the victims is missing. Hazing can cause lasting trauma like anxiety and low self - esteem, but this aspect is not always fully explored in stories.
Well, there have been cases where in military schools, seniors would take away the bedding of juniors at night as a form of hazing. This left the juniors cold and uncomfortable. In some other instances, new cadets were made to run long distances in full gear under the hot sun without proper hydration breaks just because they were new. And there are stories of being forced to eat unpalatable food combinations as a 'prank' by the older students.
They can be considered relatively common. In high school football, there's a lot of pressure to fit in and prove oneself. Sometimes, this leads to hazing. For example, new players might be made to do silly or demeaning tasks just because it's 'always been done that way' in the team. However, more schools are becoming aware and trying to stop such practices.
One recent high school hazing story involved a sports team where new members were forced to perform embarrassing and physically strenuous tasks. Another was about a club where freshmen were made to clean the clubroom in a demeaning way. And there was also a case where students in a drama club had to endure mean - spirited pranks as part of what was wrongly considered 'initiation'.
There could be a variety of hazing stories at Hamilton High School. Maybe new members of a sports team were forced to do excessive and humiliating drills as a form of hazing. Or perhaps new students in a club were made to carry out pranks that made them feel uncomfortable or embarrassed. Such practices are unacceptable and schools should take steps to prevent them.
I'm not sure of specific Cathedral High School hazing stories. However, hazing in general can involve things like seniors making freshmen do embarrassing tasks or endure physical challenges that are often inappropriate and against school rules. It's a serious issue that can cause harm to students both physically and mentally.
