That was even before the new regulations--it seems sometimes that the students are treated more like criminals. \n \nSomething will have to change--but who will listen to a group of teens? \n \nWhen tensions hit a fever pitch and tragedy strikes again, Moss must face a difficult choice: give in to fear and hate or realize that anger can actually be a gift.\n
