Freshman Year Feud: A High School Email War

Introduction

High school can be full of awkward situations, and sometimes the drama escalates into full-blown feuds. One particularly memorable freshman year incident involved a series of daily emails, which ultimately led to a heated exchange and a school-wide requirement for apologies. Here is the story of how it all unfolded.

Event Overview

The year began with a series of daily emails circulated among a large portion of the freshman class. These emails were sent by a group of boys, H and M, who were known for their antics. A new student, F, was not a fan of these emails and tried to get them to stop, leading to a minor feud. F sent several responses questioning the emails' content and purpose, which ultimately culminated in a series of confrontational emails.

The Key Players

The players involved in the email exchange were:

H: One of the senders of the daily emails. M: Partner with H in sending the emails. F: The new student who tried to communicate with H and M to stop the emails. C: Another student who joined in with a response in a different language. J: A student who got involved and had to issue an apology later.

The Escalation

One particularly contentious email was sent by M, which read: “Hello fellow comrades, I am going to start doing something called Quote of the Week. These quotes may have screenshots or youll just have to see what the quotes are without a 'ss' because they may not all be digital but for the first quote ever were going to start with a good one. ‘M is too adorable to shave’—F.”

This sparked a series of responses from F, stating, “Bro, H is annoying enough I dont need another one.”

As the exchanges continued, the emails became more confrontational. H eventually sent a particularly nasty message: “You dont get to come to this school and hate on our culture. I sent out a Fun Image every day for 16 weeks last year. If people thought that J-Money was immature I would have stopped by now. You are the outlier. You are the only one who hates J-Money in the entire school. You are the scum of the Earth. I put time and money into my images and I dont need people like you to diss them. So pull your head out from between R's thighs and man up.”

Additional Conflicts

Another student, C, added to the tension with an email in a different language: “F εσαι εκφυλισμνο ανητο. Θα σε σκοτσω για τη μη τρηση των χρημτων του J θα βασανιστε και θα ξυριστε” which translates to “Brennan, you’re a degenerate fool. I will kill you for not keeping J's money; you will be tortured and shaved.”

Resolution

As a result of the escalating drama, the school decided to require apologies from the students involved. J issued an apology stating, “Hey everyone, I need to say something about the email thread that happened yesterday. F and I have been jokingly arguing over J-Money for the past few days. Yesterday I crossed the line. I was joking around and didn’t realize how bad it was. On top of that, I accidentally replied to everyone instead of just F. I hope all of you know that I would never mean something like that. Sometimes when I am joking around, I get carried away. I can only offer my sincerest apologies to F. You're new to the school, and this isn’t the impression I want to give you. I hope you can understand that I made a stupid mistake and can forgive me. Yours truly, J.”

Colby, the student who translated the aggressive response, apologized with a message: “Hello everyone, im sorry for causing a lot of mayhem in the email chain. Iwasnt meaning any harm by what i said in greek it was just a friendly joke that got out of hand. I wasnt meaning to say anything as a threat or to make fun of anyone; the translation was a bit off from what I originally said, but either way, I realize that torture isnt funny and should not be joked about. I am sorry that the chain was seen by so many people, I should never have gotten involved, and I sincerely apologize to F and anyone else that it may have offended. Have a great rest of your day. Your fellow student, Colby.”

Conclusion

Both J and C admitted their apologies were cheesy, and no one really cared. The emails were ultimately saved by the student, F, who kept them as a record of the incident. This episode serves as a reminder of the volatile nature of high school social dynamics and the importance of being conscious of the consequences of our actions.
