[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jumping is very common in some parts of DC. Todays paper has the conviction of a young person for jumping another over a perceived insult, and shooting them. At my parochial school the constant talk and threat of who would jump who (not sure there was follow through) gave me stomach aches and I cried daily at home . No one threatened me - I just hated hearing all the excited lord if the flies style discussion. As an adult, I know young people who have been jumped in DC and ended up hospitalized. Its  disgusting and parents and schools should work together to change the culture, practice and allure. The kids who chased this person- if the facts are established - are at heart gross cowards to attack in a group, and in need of serious interventions. SEL and community condemnation, as well as policing and vigorous prosecution. Doubt it happens much in homogenously higher SEL schools. They have have subversive bullying and other issues, but jumping will put you in the hospital immediately. So gross.[/quote]

^ may have bullying. Many schools work very hard to establish very healthy cultures. All schools and communities need to.[/quote]
