Am I in the wrong??????
So I'm a rising Senior in High School, and at my school we have prefects who have like extra responsibilities, but they also have extra benefits like being the most trusted people in my school. Unfortunately I did not get prefect for senior year, but now all the people who are prefects think that they have power over me. They keep telling me what to do etc. which I absolutely hate. I detest when people my age tell me what to do and expect me to do it. They get really pissed off though when I don't do what they tell me to do, but I don't think that they can tell me what to do because they were never legitimate candidates in the first place. At my school our discipline system functions like this. They catch you doing something wrong, then you meet with the discipline committee which is composed of Students and Teachers, they hear the arguments and then suggest a discipline to the Head of School who always takes it. You are then placed on probation that lasts either 3 terms or the rest of your time at school. My problem is that a lot of the prefects have had DC's (they have been disciplined and placed on probation) before. they shouldn't have even been considered because of that. The two biggest things that piss me off are: 1. We have an orientation week for new freshmen boarders, and the leaders in my grade at that orientation hazed them and got DC's for it. The 3 that did it are now prefects, 2 in a freshman dorm and 1 in the sopre dorm with the kids they hazed. That is ridiculous, if you haze freshmen how can you get prefect? Also one of those kids had previously had a DC for beating up my roommate freshman year, so he beat up a kid and hazed people and still got it. That is illegitimacy. Since power comes from the consent of the people and I refuse to see their legitimacy, does that make them right and me wrong?
