Hazing is Still an Issue

I agree with you. If young people don’t learn about consequences, they will grow up expecting “special” treatment.

It also makes me wonder why some people seem to get so much joy inflicting fear/humiliation/pain through hazing. It’s sad.

Imo hazing (and pranks) should be viewed through the lens of level of cruelty…emotional as well as the physical. The problem of course is defining what is acceptable and the consequences of objectionable behavior.

Lastly, I find the story concerning Shedeur Sanders interesting. I didn’t know much about the young man (SS), but the attention being drawn to the initiators of the prank is well deserved. I’m glad that in this case, the consequences included apologies and heavy fines.

That was an expensive prank. I am also glad there were consequences to that [cruel] behavior. Even though all say Sanders quickly figured it was a prank, the whole stress and emotion of his situation must have made things even worse.

“The boys who did this are good kids. They do come from good families. They just made a huge mistake and I think a lot of schools can learn from that,” Rosemary Talucci told “GMA”.

What? Is this lady for real? I think it has been established that these “good boys” had at least one handgun and a knife.
And to talk about one of these “boys” having trouble sleeping? Cry me a river.

It’s like nothing ever changes. It blows my mind.

“Good kids” from “good families” should have special consideration taken for them. Kids from rougher backgrounds should have the book thrown at them. Got it. :enraged_face:

Kids aren’t perfect, I get that. Kids make mistakes, I get that. But, I know plenty of good kids who wouldn’t even dream of doing something like this.
