If could do it all over again, I'd still choose to go McLaughlin. From kindergarten to my senior year, I've made friends near and dear to my heart. I also have fond memories of the school that I wouldn't trade for anything. Some of the teachers and staff were like mentors to me and taught me a lot more than just education.

When it comes to bullying I don't feel safe at all. There is so little that the school does to prevent bullying. The security gaurds are always either by the front door or they are monitoring the hallways. Our bags are searched and we walk through a metal detector and are wanded every morning when entering the building. The school nurse has to come between schools so she has a set schedule on when she is in the building. There is not always someone on duty however which makes a lot of parents uneasy in the case of an emergency.

My overall experience in high school was pretty average. I had a lot of drama come my way. I was bullied a lot and nothing was done to stop it. I was and still am gossiped about but I have the right friends to keep me upbeat and happy. Right now the only thing on my mind is graduation. It's approximately a month away and I couldn't be happier. Most people tell me that I'll miss high school once I'm done, but I know for a fact that I will not miss it one bit.
