I'm not scared of the school year, I'm scared of the gangsters at my school. We aren't even aloud to walk in the halls during class by ourselves, because a girl was raped in the bathroom last year. On top of that, non-advanced classes don't have metal rulers in them, because the school is afraid somebody will use one as a weapon. I'm called "cracker" every day, and I have to nearly run to every class, because I could be jumped. One of my friends at school was beaten up for a pack of gum.
You might be afraid of getting bad grades, but I'm afraid to set foot in my school.
