.....It's difficult to face being bullied , some would rather drop out and obtain a GED than to suffer from this kind constant abuse.

That Georgia has a dropout problem is no surprise to two Clayton County sisters who left Jonesboro High School within the past two years. Dyane Humphrey said she couldn't stand being bullied. Lonnie Humphrey departed after falling in with the wrong crowd. The sisters say the school failed them.

....With the recent teacher cheating scandal, in Atlanta; The Grad Rates will probably plummet, and Graduation Diplomas will be handing out in a class room in the future, or on a county wide ceremony for all county schools.

Few, apparently. They also seem to have little understanding of renting a house, thinking someone else will clean it and take care of the yard. This is how no education doesn't prepare a person to live in society.

......Civilized Society ?

.......The proving grounds of a Civilized Society can be found in Movie Theaters. The saddest part of this; One of the reasons that I moved to Clayton County, was The many Movie Theaters that was located throughout the county.

.....Things started going bad, when we was exiting a Movie, when the movie ending.....The audience was trying the exit the theater, while the new audience was trying to enter Theater at the same time....People was pushing each other, calling out foul names...It was Total Chaos. This is just one, of many stories, of our Uncivilized Society in Clayton County; By The Way; It don't take just a few to start a wave, until everyone wants to gets in on the act.
