Humiliation in the Halls

9th grader Bayleigh Battle came home after school in a tizzy.

"Mom, they're going to start random drug tests at school!"

This got her mother's attention. "Why is that a bad thing?" she asked. "Are you afraid of failing?"

"Of course not. It's worse than failing. Once you pee in the cup, you have to carry it down the hall to the office, right out where everyone can see. That's so embarrassing. I can't do that. What will people think? We've got to work something out so I don't have to do that."

"Don't you think that people already know that you pee?" her mother asked.

Bayleigh is still mad, especially because of that unnecessary reminder, and especially because her mother laughed, and especially because she said, "Just pull down your big girl panties and pee."
