Facebook has become a famous social networking site and most people have a page. On Facebook, people let their inner-most feelings out as their status, including the rage they have against people which causes fights
Girls fight girls over guys, cliques fight cliques, and boyfriends fight their girlfriends. Some of these fights end in a physical confrontation.
BMHS students think that fighting over Facebook is a proper way to resolve things. A sophomore ( 13’) said, “Once you sign in, right on your newsfeed, you see the bad things people say to each other or through status and sometimes it’s funny, but you ask yourself, ‘Why are people afraid to say it upfront?’” This sophomore believes the problem would be solved quicker if people just confront one another.
However this is not the attitude that we want to encourage here at McMahon. It is very easy to be consumed in all of the drama, but Peer Mediation is a healthy alternative. Peer Mediation is a club led by Mr. Sutherland and run by the students of McMahon. If any student feels that a problem is escalating or starting, we highly suggest that you take the mature, Brien McMahon way, and end the situation.

Has this actually happened? I doubt that there have been that many fights at McMahon, as well as the fact that they start on Facebook.
