Did your high school teams participate in hazing every year? I know mine did. This year will be the last year of hazing for Agawam High because the football team have finally been caught. Though this is just a high school this was not taken lightly. This got on the local news and made it to the boston barstool. These kids were not doing much but some reckless fun in some eyes, but hazing is against the law, no matter what. There were speculations that Agawam High would not be able to participate in the Thanksgiving game although they ended up still playing. The bon fire the previous night how ever was cancelled which was always a high light to the kids. Every player was also banned from playing. Hazing is something that is not taken lightly and can get out of hands very easily, there have been many incidents where death was the end result. So think again if you happen to be guilty of this.
I think hazing is something that is going to be around for a long time. Hazing is an almost seen as a cruel iniation, but everyone has gone through it. Some schools do however go a little overboard on this hazing and do deserve to be punished. I went through it in highschool but it was nothing life threatening or anything that would damage my emotional health later on in life
