The students probably feel helpless and betrayed by the administration that previously promised to protect them. <u>If they all signed the same document stating the parents will be called they expected measurements to be taken if they are fought with.</u>
We can read that those injuries that students get in the fight with Greg are not that mil or harmless, yet the school administration does nothing.<em> </em>Students therefore probably feel threatened, helpless and made to fight with Greg in order to protect themselves, as the school is not willing to do that for them.
