There are lots of differentiations between "New Witz" and "Old Witz", many of which I can't really relate to. But I have been here for quite some time (three years) and I can tell you that if there's one thing that has changed since I was a freshman, it's the upper-lower classmen relations.
When I was a freshman, I was terrified of the Juniors and Seniors. Maybe that's just me, but the sophomores alone were enough to keep me on my toes. After all, they did come into my room one night with the intent of whipping me with belts (They afterwards said it was a joke). Seniors had very little or nothing to do with us, and if they did happen to talk to you, it was either to tell you to go away or shut up. This still holds true to today, but what's really changed is the way the freshman and the juniors interact.
When I got out of sophomore year, I thought the next two years would be a breeze. I wouldn't have anybody annoying me because the seniors are too mature to care, and the freshman and sophomores are all below me and wouldn't try anything. Unfortunatly, I soon discovered, along with many others who had shared my thinking, that this was not the case. You see, the freshman this year don't really realize that they can't make fun of people TWO GRADES OLDER THAN THEM, to THEIR FACE, and expect to get away with it. This is partially because this year's freshman class is filled with a bunch of dimwits. I'm serious. These guys are dumb as doorknobs. But either way, it doesn't really matter since my class is really to nice to do anything to them. I mean, if we wanted to, we could show them who's boss and they'd learn to leave us alone, (and some of us certainly have; the message however, has not been recieved) but that's not really us. I think that's because we know what it's like to be terrorized by upperclassmen (our juniors were jerks). So what's the outcome of all this going to be? These freshman will grow up to be mean juniors, who will pick on the freshman, who in turn will grow up to be nice juniors who will be too nice to pick on their freshman because of what THEIR juniors did to them. It's an interesting cycle, actually.

How it usually works is that people who have been abused turn around and abuse others.
But I'm glad your class is breaking this cycle. Maybe it will work. Maybe not.
Anyway, it speaks well of you and your classmates.
In my HS, the Juniors terrorized the Freshies with wedgies and various other forms of abuse. Be thankful you don't have a bus to ride on.
i always knew our clas was wimps but come on, you cant let a freshie make fun of you.
Here's what you do:
Freshie: You are ugly
You: shut up freshie
Freshie: You cant tell me what to do
You: Actually I can, cuz your a freshie
Freshie: Shut up
You: Come over here, big and formidable classmate/sympathetic bm dude
Freshie: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
(Smush sound)
The End
it's worth a shot
