Did Your High School Have Hazings?

I wasn't alive during the 70s so I have no idea what High School was like at the time, but in my experience, starting High School in 2003, I never saw or heard about any Freshman hazings like the ones seen in this film. I also had little to no social life at that time, so I probably wouldn't have heard about hazings anyway. The High School I went to for Freshman year was overcrowded and had fights once in a while, but most people who threatened each other or started fights did it to whomever they felt like, not specifically targeting a grade or age group.

After Freshmen year I went to another High School in a different part of the country, along with another nearby High School for tech classes part of the day, and I never saw or heard about any organized hazings at either of those schools.

Did any of you experience any hazings like the ones in the movie?

My latest movie: Available internationally here!

Class of 1980, NYC exurbs.

No organized hazing like depicted in D&C at all. Random acts of bullying and torment? Yeah.
