Hazing

After reading the editorial: A new approach on hazing needed, I have come to the conclusion that I completely agree. The article states that hazing is a crime; however, it is such a common thing that happens. Why is it that people have to engage and participate in hazing? Do they not realize that people are dying because of this? I guess people just see it as being fun, and like the article said, it creates a challenge. Well like the old saying goes, “it’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt”. Is it really that important to “belong” to potentially put your life at risk? Apparently to some it is. The article is full of examples of people who have died because of hazing. Providing all of the examples is good because it really convinces you that hazing is wrong and that they do need a new approach on hazing. I feel like as much as you try to put a stop to hazing, it is always going to be around somewhere. Hopefully, they will be able to figure out something to stop it because it is sad and unfortunate that people have to lose their lives this way.
