The staff of Deer Lakes have continuously failed to address the actual problems in our school. Bullying is a real issue that continues to be ignored and many students face constant harassment, which is unacceptable. I personally have had multiple friends that have been bullied, but nothing has been done to help them. This needs to stop. Our staff needs to start caring and actually giving a damn about these kinds of problems. The principal, vice principal, and school counselors in particular have told off students for coming to report an incident of bullying and told them to deal with it. I am sick and tired of my friends fearing to come to school because they are harassed. I am sick and tired of our staff telling us to deal with our problems. IT IS YOUR JOB TO HELP US. The fact is that these bullying incidents are more extreme and they continue to happen. Racism, sexism, ableism, and sexual and physical harassment should not go unnoticed. Our own teachers should be sticking up for us and actually addressing the students that are causing the problems. More serious consequences need to be handed out. Our guidance counselors and principals are failing to do their jobs and need to step it up. Sign this petition to force our teachers and staff to begin to actually attend to the students needs and make a stand to address ALL bullying incidents. We can't let this go on.
