As the time i've spend as a freshman at Harlem High School, i Have had Several friends come and go, but never had i had a friend stand up to me during an act of Violence. My best friend, Angela Marlin, Was walking with me and a couple of other friends during 6th period of Gym, we we're just having a standard conversation, when a girl who has a Name of starting drama came up behind me and Angela, and started to spew very toxic words towards us, i will not quote them for Legal reasons, Then, the Girl, Decides to bring apon the "Good" idea of coming up behind me and shoving me hard, and then trying to swing at me, My best friend goes in between her and me and takes the punch, only to be punched, kicked, stomped on, and several violent other actions, The Police were called to escort the girl to a Juvi detention center and my best friend was transported to the Hospital to be diagnosed to the hospital. And even Days after, she was Being constantly made fun of, Rumors went around everywhere, and now, it has gotten to be enough, the school has just tried to cover it up, where there was a Petition Angela had set up to get the girl expelled, lets all stand up for what is exactly right, and stand up for my friends, for human rights. and for this school to stop covering up crimes against these innocent girls and boys. 1000 signatures will be enough to fully stop this madness. Thank you. -Romona Hilton, A Freshman Student at Harlem High School.
