if there has been a proven case of hazing at a school. That means that the school has a culture of hazing throughout it.
What did you think would happen to your freshman daughter at 3am driving around with people you don't know who had "kidnapped" her in relation to a 'group' event near the start of the school year? Breakfast? What, because they 'promised'?
You could tell her that high school is just 4 years of her life, life really begins after high school, and it's not actually the most important thing in the world to go through humiliating situations to be 'part of something' or to be 'cool'. She could just be herself.
Here's another clue: Parents think that a full schedule of extracurricular high school activities keep kids out of trouble.
Our color guard drink like fish. And do humiliating things.
Tell her it is possible to be 'accepted' at school while also being yourself.
Although admin have thought I'm the campus drug dealer probably in part because I've never done anything humiliating but I'm still friends with a wide range of people (OMG). So there is still a downside.
I know what I know from older brothers who after being out of high school for years told me the "high school experience" is a load of crap, tolerate highschool, just do the things YOU want to do, and the actual cool stuff comes later.
Jus sayin.
