Here is a bulletin that was sent out on myspace about how all of the upperclassmen hate the freshmen:
When you come into high school in the fall, please don't try to
act cool, because what's cool to you usually isn't cool with the
upper classmen. stick to your middle school friends unless you know upper classmen that will get you in with other upper classmen so you don't get killed. Please DO NOT stand in the middle of the halls & talk to your friends because the seniors, juniors, and sophomores can, & most likely will, push you out of the way & call you a stupid freshman. you will get hurt. ALSO don't walk as slow as hell in the hallways. most likely you WILL get screamed at and told to move the hell out of the way. If you take an upperclassmens' lunch table they will make you move and if you don't listen you will get yelled at. Try to find your locker the first week of school so you dont have to carry your entire locker in your really "cool" backpacks. STAY iN A CHiLD [FRESHMANS]PLACE! <-- and stop typing like that cause it's NOT cool no matter how much you think it is..cause fact is...you dont matter much =) Homecoming is a time for the returning classes to reunite with their friends and have a good time. it's not for the freshman girls to show off 3/4 of their body and think they look good. in the end, you're just looking like a bunch of sluts and are saying you're willing to subject yourself to being ridiculed for the rest of your freshman year =]
IT'S NOT COOl TO BE LOUD AND THINK YOU'RE CUTE, CAUSE MOST LIKELY YOU WILL GET SHUT DOWN!
NEVER talk back to SENIORS, JUNIORS, or SOPHOMORES. Just dont try it. Don't come there screaming that 10 stuff, 07 WILL shut you down, 08 WILL beat the crap out of you, and 09 WILL bitch slap the hell out of you.
do you hate the freshmen, and do you think it is right to dislike them?
Full Version: Is it right to hate on the freshmen?
Nope. I think it's pretty elitist to dislike anyone just because he's new at something. Look, we were all new at something at one time. Everyone had their first day of high school. Being new is no reason to hate on people.
Admittedly, I do find some actions of freshman a bit silly. For example, at my college, freshmen get these orange nametags with lanyards during orientation. The nametag has their first name in big letters, and their hometown in slightly smaller letters. Freshmen here wear them all the time, even when they go downtown to parties, for the first week or so of classes every year. It's kind of funny because upperclassmen can easily pick out who is a freshmen and who isn't. Also, freshmen tend to travel in "packs" of about 10-20 students (especially to the cafeteria), so it's really easy to tell who is a freshman, even after they stop using the nametags.
So, yeah, upperclassmen might snigger at stuff like that, because it's kind of funny. But disliking and being mean to people who are new? There's no excuse for that.

I dont think its fair because they were once one.. and yeah.. its rude.
I think it's fine to hate freshmens.
But .. the passage that you had provided, i think, is overboard.
That, I don't think is right. But I also don't think that really happens.
I think the stereotypical freshman getting beat up is an exaggeration.
Nothing like that ever happens in my school.
But I do think it's okay to dislike freshmen because, cmon, their annoying.
I mean, I just finished freshman year and even I thought we were annoying.
We think we're all that, and quite frankly, I think we deserved to get our a ss's beat.
Plus, it's a tradition thing, you know?

It doesn't have to be.
It isn`t right to hate of freshman unless they`ve done something bad or whatever.. It`s just bassically stereotyping freshmans. That passage was mean.. at my school the students don`t do that, everyone just do their own thing. As long as no one messes with anyone then it`s all good. Freshmans at my school don`t get punked on, they know how to deal with those craps. 
^Doork is fine as hell.
f**k freshman. they need to get made fun of because the upper classmen went through the same thing. it's like revenge

^ lols. thank you.
Yeah they went through the same thing, but it wasn`t the FRESHMANS that did it.. right? But its like a tradition thing. So, I don`t really care.

freshmen will usually walk in pretending they own the place and they know everything that's going, only to realize none of the upperclassmen and sophs wanna be their friends
they're bunch of ignorant idiots ...
but it's normal that way. it happens every week so yeah, it doesnt really matter.

Hey I'mma be a freshman next year =\
It kinda depends. Some of that stuff is really annoying (standing in the middle of the halls; talking really loudly, slow walking, etc).
But I guess it isn't really right to just pick on them. Unless they're doing something annoying.

Eh. I never hated on the freshmen. I didn't appreciate it when I was in 9th grade, so I thought I'd make it easier on them.
But once they start acting like they're the shit, I have to knock them down a peg.

I agree. Some of them are okay. But some of them are so stupid and annoying...the block the hallways all the time in our school, like tumours from the walls. Ugh. Some of them I like though, so yeh, it does depend.

Haha. I agree. ;x I was a freshman last year and most of our class would just stand in the middle of the damned hallways for no reason; just to talk about nothing but nonsense.
I didn't really mind the freshman hate, cause it was mostly just sophomores that did- and they didn't really do anything about it. It was funny, cause most of the juniors and seniors actually didn't like the class of '08 at our school.
The class of '08 at my school are jerks...but anyway. Yeah, I don't mind it. ;x As long as it's not taken to a huge level and taken seriously.
i really dont understand.
people who hate on freshman are so ridiculous.
i'm relieved that i'm gonna be a sophomore next year.

I don't see much people "really" hating on freshmen, everyone has been freshman before, so why hate them? It's like hating yourself from 2-4 years ago.
There is no one hating me/and many other freshmen just because of being a freshmen, at least in my school.

I've had an incident when a freshmen thought she was the shit. Basically she was in front of my locker and I couldn't get it open, so I asked her nicely to move over. She refused to move over. So I just pushed her over. Then I screamed at her.
Yeah, kind of mean, but that kind of attitude calls for some kind of yelling and action.
Most freshmen are fine. Except the ones that stand in huge groups, walk slow, or make unnecessary amounts of noise. But then again, that goes for everyone.

I never hate freshmen until they do stupid immature things. When they act like idiots I call them out for it and treat them how they should be treated. It's kinda like the newbs here who tHiNk tYpInG lIk3 dIz iZ cOoL.
I actually have a lot of freshmen friends. My girlfriend was one last year when we first started dating, XD

no just becuse they're the youngest in the school doesnt mean you should hate them. they are seperate people.
but i do think the bulletins being posted on myspace are funny.

ROFL that's funny. Haha, hopefully I won't do something equally stupid when I start college.
In general, people don't hate freshmen on purpose. It's their own immature actions which brings on the discrimination.
i think its gay that the sophmores are like HAHAFRESHMENARESUCHLOSERS.
but they were freshmen the year before.
lame.

yea, the sophomores are just as bad as the freshmen.
but really, the whole standing in groups thing is really what pisses me off.
and the blocking of the lockers...
ehh.

I'M actually the class of '10. This thing was a little intimidating.
I don't see what the big deal is about viewing freshman as fresh meat. When I was a freshman in high school, people would ask me if I were one of the older grades and then amusing enough, people asked if i was a freshman when i was a senior. And besides, unless they're going around acting like idiots or looking around at the room numbers like a deer caught in headlights, you cant really tell who's a freshman. I'm surprise no one's mentioned "freshman friday" yet.
hating on freshman is like every schools tradition. it must be done.. lol
everyone goes through it, and needs to suck it up & dealll

I don't think it's right to hate the freshmen class. The upper classmen were freshmen once to and knew how hard it was to adjust to high school and all. Picking on them doesn't really make you look better. Just makes you look immature. My opinion.

they don't all think they're cool. and also, all the highschoolers are kids except for the ones who are 18.
and what's up with your apostrophes? they're like... `... are you using the one up in the corner of the keyboard?
I don't think it's right either because as some people said already that they were one once but than somehow it goes around anyway .
In my school we never had a problem I was a freshmen last year and no one did anything really bad I don't remember seeing anyone getting pushed in the halls. they would just mostly ingore us and only talk with the others grades. I was once talking to this girl and than she saing something like "she sucks like a F*ing freshmen" and than she would say "no offense." But mostly I think they make fun of us behind our backs. at least at my school.

The only thing that's majorly anti-freshman at our school is freshman friday. Otherwise, all grades are pretty much cool with each other.
And walking slow in the hallways? Heck, not only freshman do that!
I'd say this bulletin is 75% bogus. The other 25% however ...

Well I wouldn`t because everyones been one.
I guess it depends on the way some Freshmen act. The whole Freshmen hating thing doesn't really apply around where I live. I'm going to be a Freshman this coming school year but I won't be entering high school. Around where I live Jr. High is from 7th-9th. Freshmen are considered high schoolers, but in the jr. high building.

true think about it...
picking on freshmen is like stealing candy from a baby... it's the lowest of the low. especially if you're a sophomore because you were just a freshman a few months ago.... plus I remember being picked on by my brother's friends and it makes highschool less enjoyable.
i think they just want revenge 
I kinda hate the freshmen myself, I find them to be annoying. All the time they block the hallways and run around. I especially hate it when they sit at the table where me and my friends sit at for lunch lol.
It's fine with me. I mean, it's a tradition. Eventually the freshmen won't be freshmen anymore, and they'll get to pick on those freshmen. So it's pretty fair.
I think it's okay...it's not a big deal. Most freshmen expect it anyway, everyone goes through it. And freshmen are annoying anyway. I hated freshmen even when I was one.
Geez, that was a little harsh. I think it is tradition to joke around with the freshmen. I was picked on when I was a froshey as I have picked on them my fair share of times. We don't hurt them of course, and it is all in the name of fun. Just part of highschool ya know? I think sometimes the sophomores get carried away though..some of the power of being a previous freshman gets to their heads and stuff. I don't know, I think its all fun and games.
hmm i dont really know what to say on this..
i kinda am happy cuz i know a few upperclassmen
