[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the worst thing that happens during your time in high school is that your head gets shaved, then you probably had a great time.  Its a hair cut people; these kids aren't being forced to do anything that could actually harm them in any way.  Lacrosse is a tough sport, so it is probably fair to say that any kid good enough to make the team as a freshman will not be permanently scarred from an ugly hair cut they had to wear for a day.  If your kid really had a huge issue with it then his hair will not get touched, but you should be aware that if thats the case, your kid is probably the biggest pussy on the team and all the upperclassman probably thought he was a loser anyway.  What's next for you softies? It's really sad when kids get cut, so should there no longer be a varsity team? Team sports can make unathletic people feel unathletic, so should we do away with team sports altogether? How about you listen to the kid who just posted saying that he was there for four years and never once met a freshman (himself included) that was against the ritual.  Boys will be boys; you can either accept this dictum and stop bashing a hair cut ritual, or you can continue bitching and moaning about a silly harmless tradition.  If you choose the latter I suggest you sending your kid(s) to GDS, Maret, St. Andrews...etc.  Moreover, instead of wasting time on this blog, you over-protective parents of [b]future 35-year-old virgins[/b] should probably do something useful, like, say, monitoring your child's phone record and internet history--wouldn't want him to do anything cool with his life.[/quote]

Well, for a while I was inclined to pay attention to things like national hazing websites.  But now, your caring post that wants to help save people from raising "35-year-old virgins" has changed my mind.

Oh, wait, no, you have just further succeeded in convincing people that lacrosse boys (and maybe SSSAS) boys are nasty-minded, prejudiced little jerks.

Good job!

Thanks for the compliment, I wrote on this blog to show the world what lacrosse boys do--what nasty minds we have!  I'm not condoning hazing, but the fact of the matter is that a funny haircut is not hazing.  To me, and to most normal people who didn't eat their lunch in the bathroom in high school, hazing is not something as trivial as a dumb haircut.  You blow and your kid probably isn't cool either.[/quote]
