I just read a Chinese newspaper report about this new fad called "hazing" and honestly, I am enraged.
Basically, people throw a birthday party for someone else, and then, being natural party poopers, sabotage the birthday boy/girl by either a. dumping them into rubbish bins b. tying them up and then throwing stuff at them c. assault them (those are extreme cases). And that's not all. The whole process is videotaped for the world to see.
What a great way to turn sixteen!
Honestly. Is it cool to throw your best friend into the nearest rubbish bin? Is it fun to tie them up someplace and throw sandwiches at them? What the hell is this? Either kids nowadays are getting more and more repressed and want to vent their frustration out in this strange manner, or--and I like this one--our generation is just getting crazier.
It's bad enough that people do it. What's worse is that when the media got their hands on the news, some people hit out at those who slammed the fad, saying that it wasn't a big deal and that it was just a way to have fun. These people don't know what they're talking about, don't know what they're asking for. Go ahead and have fun, but not at someone else's expense. Hazing one of your friends on her birthday means you were never her friend at all. In fact, she should ditch you quick and never speak to you again, hopefully along with all your OTHER friends who may be lucky enough to see sense.
There was another earlier report in a paper that I read last year. A girl was hazed on her birthday and she was yelling at her friends to stop. A teacher walked past and asked the haze-rs what they were doing. They told him/her (can't remember) that they were just having fun and that they would clear up after the party was over (they'd tied the girl up and were throwing food at her). The teacher said, "Oh, that's alright, then. Just remember to clean up," and walked away.
What?
Hazing is not a fun way to celebrate someone's birthday. Hazing is just a sad, sorry excuse for sad, sorry people to bully others--those they call "friends". I personally think authorities should deal with haze-rs appropriately, giving out dire consequences and making them understand that hazing is plain wrong. There is no argument to that. There is no way someone would actually enjoy being hazed on his or her birthday; whoever gets hazed is a victim, never a willing participant.
Hazing is pathetic and I am truly disgusted by those who do it. Get a life! Here's what you do when you celebrate someone's birthday, you losers: go get a birthday cake and sing a song and be done with it. Cake and song--that's all you freakin' need!
