I was bullied unmercifully at Mcabe. Even when I made an appointment to see the principal so I could report being jumped in the bathroom to the point I was covered in bruises, I was told by both the principal and teachers that "no one likes a tattle-tale". My homeroom teacher even asked me if I'd ever considered that I had brought it all on myself through my "tattling". I recall the many sleepless nights and even suicide ideation. It truly left me in a very dark place that I still deal with to this day.I would avoid this school at all costs. PTSD is no joke.
