Copycats

So, now the girl that tried to committ suicide is resting at home...

meanwhile, back at school, there are a rash of second year girls (Including a few that I know pretty well), that have decided to cut their wrists too...

Insane.

Of course, they are copycats, and these wounds are superficial... but still... they are cutting themselves...

The second year teachers have been in a long string of emergency meetings.

The entire second grade is flying out of control.

I can understand it, though... the original girl got a lot of attention for her attempt... for a teenager, attention is like crack cocaine...

The worst part about it is that these girls are sorta doing it because it is fashionable... I've noticed my kids are wearing many more band-aids these days (As opposed to two months ago). It seems like a third of my school has suffered some injury...

They just can't do things in half-measures, can they?
