So in other words, any young men attending this school are up shit creek. Middle school is when young girls start to become women (read: bleed for 6 days straight and tear heads off people for no reason). Images of young men wearing "PMS" jackets while young girls get their "I GRADUATED P.M.S." bracelets. I would lower my head in shame every day that I would have to attend that school. Every damn day.
