truly hurting the kids to live up to those high expectations and rising the numbers of adolescent suicide. I 100% believe that Megan is a bully. She forwarded the picture of Erica to, I can only assume, the entire school. She then proceeded to prank call her and tell her she was destined to be a slut for the rest of her life. She also tagged a fellow student council member’s house with a derogatory word and picture. And when she got in trouble she said it wasn’t fair – excuse…

Different standards were set for different groups of people and, if you didn’t abide by them, you could find yourself an outcast.

Come on, there's no need to be superstitious! A huge prank? Impossible, Jestling is out of town. If the group was restless last night, now they were panicked…

“You are just like your grandfather.” Is something I’ve heard almost weekly for as long as I can remember. It is also the best compliment I will ever receive. If there is someone I could ever strive to be like it would be Kenneth Lampp. Sitting in his office chair with his white hair brushed back, ready to be hidden under a cowboy hat for the rest of the day. His wrinkles are like deep trenches that hold 84 years of laughter, love, war, and wisdom. You can almost read the history on his face.…

people did not speak, they were given the label as well. It’s speculated that the sobriquet “Dummy” was given to Hoy at Oshkosh. Though politically incorrect in today’s society, Hoy accepted the name and even corrected people to it when they tried to call him by William. Despite the nickname that is would be viewed upon as insulting now, people often referred to Hoy as a respectable gentleman.
