"Anal hazing is apparently a thing in American high schools now"

28 July 2013 - 08:33 PM

Article dates back to 6/21/13.

I'm currently doing a research on Hazing and came across this article, although it's about a month old, I think it's worth sharing.

 

 

In the last year, there have been more than a dozen hazing incidents around the country involving high school boys who have sodomized other boys with foreign objects, reports Bloomberg. Over 40 boys have been reported victims. Most have been younger students.

There’s a dearth of data concerning the size and scope of the national boy-on-boy anal hazing problem. Astonishingly, though, a study published in the Journal of Youth and Adolescence has claimed that nearly 10 percent of high school males report suffering some form of sexual assault including, in some cases, forced oral sex or rape.

Social media plays a big role in the spread of hazing in high schools, asserts Susan Lipkins, a New York psychologist who has studied the phenomenon. High schoolers learn new and more brutal ways to haze thanks to virtual communities.

“Each time a hazing occurs, the perpetrators add their own mark to it by increasing the pain or humiliation,” Lipkins told Bloomberg.

A sampling of recent incidents certainly demonstrates creative cruelty.

Three former soccer players at La Puente High School in the suburban sprawl east of Los Angeles were convicted of sexually assaulting other students with a javelin and a broken flagpole, reports Southern California Public Radio.

A bit farther east, in Fontana, Calif., underage students allegedly tried to place a piece of rebar inside the anal cavity of another student, according to NBC Southern California. There was a similar incident involving a broom handle. Prosecutors say a masonry teacher was present at the time and knew what was happening.

In tiny Greenfield, Iowa, a group of members of the Nodaway Valley High School wrestling team allegedly pinned down a 16-year-old teammate and sexually assaulted him because he had missed practice. An unidentified student told ABC affiliate KCRG that older wrestlers ordinarily forced jump role handles into the anuses of younger wrestlers who missed practice or failed to make weight.

At New York’s fancypants Bronx High School of Science, three members of the track team stand accused of violently sexual abusing at least one younger student, reports CBS New York.

“You need a good fingering, you freshman,” one of the attackers allegedly told the victim at one point.

 

-smh @ these kids. who the hell says that? 

you obviously have issues if you're interested in sticking things into boys anuses without consent.

"Killed by a Video Game"

16 July 2013 - 04:14 AM

Killed by a video game: Excitement 'triggered fatal heart attack of teenager who died while playing his Xbox

 

A teenager has died after suffering a heart attack while he was playing a game on his Xbox.

Jake Gallagher, 16, was playing Sonic the Hedgehog on the console when his mother Sarah Pyatt believes he became excited, triggering an undiagnosed heart condition.

He collapsed at his grandmother Irene Gallagher's house in April and was taken to hospital where he died two days later after being declared brain dead.

Mrs Pyatt, 46, said doctors told her Jake had Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome.

'Sonic the Hedgehog was his favourite. He would get over-excited, jumping up and down, screaming at the screen,' she told the Sun.

The teenager was rushed to Watford General Hospital, but doctors said his brain had been starved of oxygen.

Professor Sanjay Sharma, of St George's Hospital in South West London, said: 'There is a definite risk in predisposed young people playing video games that causes surges of adrenalin in the blood.'

Jake, who had Asperger's Syndrome, had not had heart screening, which has not been made compulsory by the government.

His mother has now joined charity Cardiac Risk in the Young in calling on the government to make screening mandatory in young people.

That's horrible. Not really a fan of the title of the article though. -_-

It's just another reason for people to blame video games.

*Sigh* They haven't even gave a reason why...
Evo 2013 is Smash's biggest fighting game tournament. People donated money towards breast cancer in order to see Melee streamed at the tournament. They should be thankful that people consider the Smash series to be on the same level of COMPETITIVENESS as games such as MvC3, SFXT, SF4AE, Injustice, etc...

I just don't understand why...
Melee/Brawl has been streamed on MANY tournaments before...

For those of you who don't know about EVO....

The Evolution Championship Series (Evo for short) represents the largest and longest-running fighting game tournaments in the world. Evo events bring together the best of the best from around the world in a dazzling exhibition of skill and fun, as players and fans gather to honor the competitive spirit in an open format and determine a champion.

Eh...New Sig!

29 June 2013 - 06:57 PM

Been ages since I've hopped into photoshop!

I'm trying to get all my skills back because I miss photoshopping.

I would use this sig here but it's too large :(

Nothing special....

(It's on a transparent background by the way...)
