Beating and torture to join the cheerleading team?

According to statistics from hazing expert Dr. Susan Lipkins, 1.5 million high school students are hazed each year. Nearly half of high school students, 48 percent, report being subjected to hazing activities.

Personally, I think that hazing is an unnecessary activity, one that only hurts people in the end. Beating, scolding, and torture are all considered an initiation into activities, such as cheerleading. What's the point of hurting people that you want to be on your team in the future?

What's your take? Is hazing stupid or just harmless fun? Leave your comment below.

Hazing is stupid because if you really want the best on your team then you just need to leave the craziness alone and just treat your team mates right. When you have loyalty then that gives you an edge no other team has.

Hazing has a limit, as does everything. Hazing is way to feel like you belong cuz you worked to get were you are. but when it becomes physical, its no longer funny or a rite of passage. its the day you fear. its the thing you dread. and its the thing you go through to be a part of this thing so exclusive that this is necessary.

i agree. i feel hazing is done by people who have either low self eestems or a bad childhood.

The Supreme Court has said in passing that those words have outlived the historical moment that gave rise to them.

the president may do what he wants in an emergency, with or without the authority of the 14th Amendment.

I concur, I feel right of passage is finished by folks who have either level self regard or a grave youth.
