Everyday I walk through those doors, I feel it may be my last. I am threatened on a daily basis and have no friends cause they are all bullies. The school is infested with the drugs and vapes of students from the first bell, to the end of the day.

The administration lies about the food being "healthy". It looks, feels, and tastes disgusting and it's all microwaved. Most of the teachers don't care about you, all the kids pick on you. I've been hit by a kid before and nobody did anything about it. The kids are all racist and homophobic and transphobic and all of the other phobics. They also do drugs all of the time in the bathrooms and in class. So much drugs. I feel like I could get seriously hurt there sometimes.

I'm a Junior at Dartmouth high school. And I'd just like to say, that kids in this High School are picked on and bullied constantly. And the Principal is rude. Although I do feel the education you gain here is nice. You learn a lot of stuff and many teachers are motivated to help you learn. While so...
