Should I be proud of my school for having a page that supports others on their decisions and comments good things about them? Yes.

Would I be proud that my school had a page where you can tell them what you think about another person? Absolutely no.

There is a large difference between both…

Not all Los Amigos kids supported this. At our school, we have a club dedicated to anti-bullying known as the Friends of the ABC. When the page attacked our fellow students, we reported the page and tried our hardest to shut down the page. Those students that chose to create the page are the ones who tarnished OUR school name. Don’t blame the entire school for the stupidity of some of our students. We are all not bad people. We are friendly and worked hard to try and improve our school image. I understand  that we may not have the best reputation out of the other schools in the GGUSD district, but we are working hard and will not let others to continue to disregard our school as the shameful ones. 

Not only that, complimenting someone does not always mean it would encourage them to have a stronger work ethnic. Most of the time on those kinds of pages, only the popular or well-known are mentioned. You would rarely see a compliment about that one kid who is smart, but doesn’t have that many friends willing to write something for them. Sometimes you will see a post about how “beautiful” they are, but that does not say anything about their personality. Some people who are popular are sometimes the cruelest ones in the school. 

So overall, don’t assume Los Amigos High School is a bad school because of what you see on the internet or hear from other kids. Get to know some of the better crowds at the school to see how we’re really like. Most of us are nice, hardworking, and are just as good as any other GGUSD school. Really, your post just shows that people overgeneralize anything over a few people you see on the internet without knowing the full story behind it.

Yes, you’re right. At the time I really didn’t know what the fuck was wrong with me, and I’m not going to make any excuses. I’m all in the wrong and it was stupid of me to post this. (I’m not using sarcasm, just to let you know.) You can think of me as horrible as much you want, talk about it with your friend or at school, because I did say something without another side of the story and it was extremely wrong of me to place the only side I knew somewhere like on Tumblr. I’ll remember this before doing something as stupid as this again.

I do hope the good parts of your school takes over the bad parts, and get over the bad role that you guys were somehow stuck with. If the page isn’t down already, I hope it gets removed as quick as possible.

I don’t think you’re a horrible person for thinking that way since it is difficult to know both sides of the story at times. I actually want to thank you very much for understanding rather than reacting badly like some might. Overall, I am just disappointed to know that Los Amigos still has a bad reputation despite our efforts to improve our school.

The good thing is that the page has been down for approximately a week and we have reported it to the administrators at our school. If another page happens to come up, there is no doubt that the students of our school will be the first to shut it down. We may not be able to stop these people (who turned out to be some of the freshmen at our school) from having such negative thoughts toward others, but we will stop it from becoming public.
