Why man why?

     "How could a guy like you end up in a place like this?" exclaimed Franky.
     "Well me and three of my buddies tried to rob a bank in Oklahoma," mumbled Tyrone.
     "We had it all figured out, storm the bank wave our guns around a bit and get a teller to take us to the vault"
     "Seems like you had a pretty good plan but what happened?" questioned Franky.
     "You see Franky," Tyrone announced "we were in the bank and were headed to the vault."
     "we hired on a guy who said he was. 'A professional safe cracker.'"
     "Yeah? so what did he do?'' questioned Franky uneasily.
     "Well the damn guy said he could crack anything, and when he came he had a laser tag gun to try to cut through the safe!" Tyrone yelled.
     "You've got to be kidding," chuckled Franky.
     "Nope the idiot got me 15 years in prison for assault with a deadly weapon," Muttered Tyrone under his breath.
     "Well do you know where this guy got sent?" Franky asked.
     "No all I know is that hes a tall guy with a.... OH MY GOD, THERE HE GOES NOW!!" Shouted Tyrone as he started running across the yard.
Franky never heard from Tyrone again, It's said he got transferred to a maximum security jail cell.
    
    

High School Power Struggle

In a small Okanagan school of just over 750 students, bullying is a near non-existent problem at Princess Margaret Secondary School. With such a small population of Students, the group has become tightly knit and stands together as one. Every year the students organize "Pink Day" a day in which students are inclined to wear pink shirts to show they wont stand by and let people get bullied.

Princess Margaret is a comfortable feeling school where everyone is welcomed and the thought of bullies don't cross the minds of any students. The students fight for an accepting school and a better learning environment for everyone in the student body. Maggie is a fairly new school compared to the other local school Pen-Hi which has nearly double the population of students. Students at Pen-Hi and Princess Margaret both agree that the smaller school is making a bigger impact on bullying and that the bullying problem at Pen-Hi is much worse. Although P.M.S.S may be a smaller school it has more heart and the majority of the student body are connected by friendship, The students get along very well, and like Canada's "N.A.T.O" group the students have an "attack on one is an attack on all" attitude towards bullying and stand up for each other no matter who they are. P.M.S.S is inevitably one of the most bully free schools in not only the Okanagan Valley but in all of Canada.
