Bullying at Ottawa High School

We have several different things wrong with Ottawa High School. The most common one is bullying, even though teachers try to stop it. No matter what they do they cannot make it go away. As students, we try to stop it ourselves, but we cannot. It always seems to get out of hand and someone always gets hurt or moves out of the district.

Some teachers do not care that we are being hurt in some odd way. Should we all just quit school so we are not being bullied? People think that it is not going on, but it is.

I say that we should all start standing up and taking care of ourselves, they do not allow you to do that in school. If they did there would not be as much bullying. I have always been told that if you want someone to have your back then you have to have their back, but teachers are not holding up their end of the deal. They need to make up their mind, do they want to be students’ friends or do they want to be our enemies?
