     I cannot believe a school janitor would pay money for other students to bully another. It is ridiculous that there is grown adults who would do such a thing. In order to stop things like this, make sure before you hire someone you know as much as you can about that person.

Bellringer October 16, 2013

It differed, because the others just protested but these broke through barriers and other things to protest.

     I don't agree nor disagree, because they have had the name for several years now and its not the first time they have tried to change it. It can be viewed as racism, but if they thought it was then it more than likely would have been changed by now, but it doesn't really matter to me.

Response To My Grandchild

     I have employed myself in the medical field to help those who are ill. Most of them who have came to see me I have helped get better and maybe even saved the lives of some. Without the medical occupation I am in, some of us would not be living due to serious accidents. So what I am telling you, is that I have saved and helped save the lives of those in need.

Bellringer October 7, 2013

1. It says that it isn't very observant and don't pay much attention to those going through. It sort of seems as if they just go through the normal routine and are so used to it they don't care.

2. Sort of, but not really because there are some idiots out there that have been hired and its been so long they just go through the motions.

     It was stupid to do the shutdown anyways. Nothing happened and is going to happen with us knowing, so they should just stop the shutdown. It was pointless and made no sense. Obviously, it didn't happen for a reason and it was only a threat.

     I personally think this whole thing is stupid. Obviously, nothing is going to happen. If something honestly were to happen, we certainly wouldn't know about it anyways. This is all just a big rumor and has no point at all.

Why would they think it was going to happen?
Do they really think no matter where they may be it is going to effect them as well?
What is the point of all the nonsense?
