- Rating:
(2 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This school's principle didn't deal with my bullying problem and made it the my fault. People tried to bully me but I fought back and got in trouble. The school is easy and doesn't give advanced students harder work. The lunch is awful, and people used racial slurs on me.
