Emo Tag

Recently, several eighth grade girls were suspended for playing "emo tag." A student came into a class bleeding, and of course she tried to pass the obvious cuts from a razor off as your average scrapes and scratches. Upon questioning, "emo tag" was revealed: a game in which these girls were slashing each other with razors. One of the girls has patterned scars from cutting herself all over her upper arms. This seems almost like the girl version of "Fight Club."

Another popular thing to do here at CDJH is to chew on thumb tacs and razor blades. I saw a lot of razors last year; this year, the 7th grade boys all have thumb tacs in their mouths.
