We had a weird day.
During seminar, they called all the 7th grade boys into the hallway. All the girls bunched up and pondered what was going on, but the guys came back and WE were called out. They had us stand in a line by the wall, roll up our sleeves, hold out our arms and they checked for signs of cutting. I don't know what I felt about it. They busted Bethany for carving T.B. on her hand, which I thought was kind of pointless...on both sides, really, but oh well. But that was it...they took some time to belittle us, and I got annoyed because they made it sound like if either you cut, or you new someone that was, you were completely sick and you were a bad person. But the people that are doing it because it's "cool"...just make me angry.
And then we toddled off back to class. They didn't check anyone else. Which really, in all honesty, freaked the 7th grade girls out. Because we know people that do it.
So...I told Miss Trammel to check them tomorrow. I don't know if she will, but I told her...
I'm gonna have a pissy friend on my flist...and about now I'm regretting it, because I'm not big with the whole school getting involved thing...or people being forced into being "found out," as it was nicknamed. But then I'm just worried...about a lot of people...one in particular...I don't really know my stance on the whole thing, part of me (and one half of my friends) thinks I did the right thing, then another part of me (and another half of my friends) thinks I should have kept my mouth shut.
I don't know...I know some people were "turned in" by 7th graders, so maybe they planned to do it anyways. But *shrug*
