High School Hazing: When Rites Become Wrongs, by : Hank Nuwer. intro post

I chose to read the book, High School Hazing, for my second semester outside reading book because its a slightly knewer topic of issues. Its starting to come up more on the media, which obviously would follow the schools attention. I wasn't sure if I would enjoy the book because hazing doesn't seem like an extremely important topic to me, but to others its a major issue. At the end of the introduction paragraph, Nuwer says, "Once you understand why students haze and submit to hazing, you'll not only be able to resist getting involved yourself, but you'll be able to talk sense with your classmates before they make mistakes that could haunt their lives forever." This sentence at the end of the chapter really stuck out to me because its so powerful and it shows the authors passion and how serious he is about hazing and bullying. And, because he's treating this topic with full seriousness, so will I.
