Freshmen get treated badly . . . at pep rallies. They boo the

freshmen, and during marching band camp this summer, some seniors

beat up a freshman for no reason. Lacey Hadsell, 14, freshman

Teen-agers do sometimes. . . . My boyfriend went into a grocery

store to cash his check one time and as we were looking down the

aisles to buy stuff, looking at magazines, the manager told us,

`This isn't a library. Get your stuff and get out.' Amber Swartz,

17, junior

I think athletes have it easier. If an athlete gets into trouble,

he isn't going to get into the trouble I might get into. He isn't

going to be suspended on a Friday, before the big game. . . . I

think girls are also treated nicer when they get into trouble.

Terrell Smith, 17, senior
