You're a slave to labor and you praise the fascist
You kiss the hand that takes half in taxes
Faking outrage and being seen, a generation with no self-esteem
It's time to rise up and stand against them
Break the chains and finally see the vision
We're post-traumatic from a broken system
PREQUEL ♱ FALLING IN REVERSE (2024)

Dress Codes Don’t Do Shit: Olympic High School and Their History of Predator Protection
This month, CKSD's plan for policy changes, including dress codes, has been a hot topic in Kitsap County. In this essay, I want to shift focus to Olympic High School, my personal and peer experiences, and real articles. I encourage you to read this list of survey responses and form your own opinion on the matter; it's the only information I have been provided with on the case so far. If you would like to read this in doc form, that is available here.
If you are at all familiar with Olympic High School, your mind might immediately go to the case of 27-year-old Tyson Ebert, who pled guilty to five counts of sexual misconduct after a mother found messages on her student’s phone with the cheer coach that were “clearly sexual in nature.” According to Isaac Yates, one of Ebert’s victims who went on to sue the school district, claims the school “did nothing to intervene.” Reports indicate that some students had even written letters to the principal about Ebert’s behavior, yet the district failed to recognize the signs of grooming. This case highlights a troubling pattern of negligence at Olympic High School, where the administration has repeatedly overlooked allegations against predators and failed to protect its students.
I am now two years graduated, but the bulk of my high school experience was spent in Central Kitsap schools. when I first switched to Olympic High School, I was already being warned about multiple staff members, and a teacher had recently been let go for (I have to say allegedly) attempting to groom a student who was fifteen at the time. This was heavily covered up by OHS, with goodbye signs on screens in the hallways for said teacher, as if he was only retiring.
During my senior year, I attended a protest against a fellow student who had assaulted, threatened to assault, or otherwise sexually harassed numerous girls in my grade. During this walk-out, attended by current and former students, as well as concerned parents, the offender was allowed to sit in the office to avoid other students, not for the protection of the girls he had harassed, but for his own. For legal reasons, we’ll call this student C.C. Roughly 20-30 girls had previously shared their experiences with C.C., ranging from small-but-impactful comments to full-fledged threats to rape or otherwise assault them. Olympic High School did next to nothing to stop this, despite the district’s claim that “students and staff are protected against sexual harassment by anyone in any school program or activity, including on the school campus, on the school bus, or off-campus, such as a school-sponsored activity”, according to their 2022-2023 Students’ Rights and Responsibilities handbook, which is the most recent version accessible through Olympic High School’s official webpage.
“C.C harassed me my freshman year. He said something about being able to see my bra, I was wearing a white shirt and white bra. He told me to cover up and I told him that he had to be looking really close to even notice. My brother called him out in class and called him a pervert.”
In my research for this case, I reached out to current and former students at Olympic High School, asking them to voluntarily and anonymously share their experiences. A familiar name continued to pop up: Mr. P., a coach with over twenty years of experience in a girls’ sport. Allegations may be paraphrased or otherwise rewritten for the sake of anonymity and simplicity, but I will be staying as true to the original messages as possible.
“Whenever Mr. P would be helping me in class, he would sit down next to me and put his hand on my knee or lower back.” 
“On a free day in class, during my sophomore year, Mr. P. was talking about a victory for the girls’ team he coaches. He said: ‘Their legs really do look great when they’re jumping for that ball.’ Which made me beyond uncomfortable”
Mr. P is infamous for this behavior among current and former students. Ask anybody who has attended Olympic High School in the past ten years, they will all call Mr. P a creep. Besides blatant sexual misconduct from staff to students, staff have repeatedly dismissed allegations towards other students.
“At Fairview, right after I was raped, the first person I told was the school counselor. He convinced me not to tell anyone because it was ‘a big allegation.’ He also questioned if I ‘consented and now regret it.’”
My last, and most troubling story has weighed heavy in my mind for years and is part of what inspired this essay, in all honesty, I believe it deserves its own article. In 2020, a health teacher at Olympic High School had attempted to groom one of my very close friends at the time, she was fifteen and only in tenth grade. It began as “subtle remarks” about her appearance, commenting on her makeup before progressing to comments on her clothing and body. “I walked into class one day with a tucked shirt, jeans, and a belt. He commented how small my waist was, and that was the first time I remember feeling uncomfortable with him.” She goes on to report that this progressed to Mr. L coming to her desk in the back of the classroom to ask how she was doing and about how she was handling the work when there was no issue with her performance in class.
Observing how he treated the rest of the class, she realized she was the only student being treated like this. “It got to a point where I would get up to turn something in, and I would see him quickly divert his attention and speed over to ask me about my thoughts on the assignment. This was where I remembered he began putting his hand on my back when he would speak to me. It made me feel so uncomfortable, but I tried not to let it become a big thing.” When she finally mentioned this treatment to a close friend, they reported that somebody in her class had also noticed this teacher targeting her, specifically.
After missing a couple of days of school due to a cold, therefore missing a project, Mr. L proceeded to explain the project, which “seemed very easy”. Though she didn’t feel like she needed much assistance, Mr. L would keep her after class, daily, causing her to miss important parts of her next class. The after-class conversations progressed from questions about her assignments and offering assistance, to personal questions,  “for a second I tried to dismiss it as him trying to be a good teacher and making sure I was mentally okay, but the questions quickly changed from feeling sincere to feeling like dating trivia.” Though she was beginning to fall behind in her next class, Mr. L insisted she stayed after class anyway, no matter how hard she tried to slip past him, he always kept her.
She finally decided to report this unfair and predatory treatment after Mr. L had made a joke to the whole class about a student “watching porn” after he slammed his Chromebook shut to avoid getting caught on youtube, and had brought all of the girls to the front of the class to show him their notes on the sex-ed lesson they had learned that day, asking if they were going to be abstinent. After a conversation with her older sister, who had attended North Kitsap over a decade prior, her sister reported that Mr. L had made similar comments toward her. Mentioning this to friends in another class, one friend reported being one of the last in the locker room after a sports practice, when Mr. L walked in on her in her underwear, pausing for a moment to stare at her before leaving.
When reporting this behavior to the vice principal, she treated the situation as if it was a misunderstanding, asking this student “what [she] wanted to come of this.” “I just didn’t want another girl to have to go through this.”  She was granted permission to work in the library and receive her assignments electronically right before the end of the semester until this was sorted. Word spread quickly that Mr. L was “retiring” mid-year, at the end of the semester. “I tried my best not to think about him, the class, or the fact that  I couldn’t look myself in the mirror when I showered, or how when I got ready in the morning I tried to act like it was my own decision to stop wearing my favorite, more form-fitting clothes, swapping them for baggy clothes so I couldn’t see my figure.” She tried her best to make it until the end of the semester, until one morning announcement that “felt like a slap in the face.”
“We want to wish a warm farewell to Mr. L, who has been such a beacon of light in this school for so long, he is retiring this semester. He will be dearly missed by staff and students.”
She refers to him as “a man who made me disassemble myself into something I didn’t want to recognize.” A month after he “retired”, she was called into the principal’s office for a talk about the situation with Mr. L. Her hopes of this being an apology were quickly shut down when her principal asked her to keep quiet about this attempt at grooming. “I just wanted to make sure that you know what happened isn’t what I want Olympic to be viewed as. I wouldn’t want this story to get out and have people start looking at our school with that reputation.”
Olympic High School and Central Kitsap School District, the story is getting out now, and it is only one of many that solidify your reputation as continuously prioritizing yourselves over the children you are being trusted with five days out of the week, ten months out of the year. Looking back on this traumatic experience, the student writes “I feel upset that someone like that can get away with so much inappropriate behavior for years and years, and still be called a beacon of light when they leave. There needs to be more respect for kids who go through these traumatic events at a place they should feel safe and secure in. Olympic has notoriously protected abusers and inappropriate behavior.”
Reviewing the responses to CKSD’s dress code survey mentioned earlier, skimming over dozens of complaints about young girl’s bodies, going so far to call them “skimpy”, i came across one of the most egregious, “No dress code means a lot of blame going to the boys and parents of boys for girls who are barely covered up. Hormones are real and not staring is rough on those boys. Dress codes level the playing field [so] all can learn with less distractions.”
While I’d love to say I expected better from grown adults, realistically, I cannot be surprised. We are continuing to place blame on teenage girls for men and boys’ lack of self-control. Statements like these excuse boys for seeing women and girls as objects of attraction rather than individuals. What girls wear will never be the issue, we have seen proof time and time again that rapists will rape animals, corpses, babies, and anything in between. Girls and women have been raped in sweatpants and hoodies, wedding dresses, onesie pajamas, and even niqabs. Frankly, we’re all sick of reminding you of this.
Now, do I think girls should be walking around school in their underwear? Of course not, but if the goal of dress code change is to prevent classroom distractions or sexual harassment in schools, we are only teaching girls that they are responsible for the actions of others. Simultaneously, we reinforce the idea that boys that they aren’t responsible for their own. It may seem like a small issue to some, but it is our responsibility to eradicate the idea that women must accommodate men in every aspect of their lives for their own safety.
This dress code change is another way to shift blame to victims, rather than perpetrators. Olympic High School needs to protect its children, not the abusers on their payroll.
my condolences and gratitude go out to everyone who has come to me with their stories, as well as the victims of tyson ebert and those who shared their stories at the november 18th protest against c.c. at olympic high school. thank you, you are heard, i believe you. to victims of sexual violence, help & information is available at rainn.org or the national sexual assault hotline at 1-800-656-4673.
with support and care, the loser girlfriend club <3

I found his blog. am i proud? no. he has been my best friend since year 7, although, are we even really friends anymore? the person i once knew is like a ghost to me. it’s been 5 years, i text him everyday, and yet, he won’t open up.
I found his blog. he spills his guts here so maybe I should spill mine. i worry about him too much. he used to want to do so much with his life, at least that’s what i think. he quit school. but is it even his fault? we were supposed to graduate together, and hes still a sophomore.
I didn’t mean to find his secrets, i just can’t fucking take it anymore. i didn’t replace him, i just can’t fucking take it anymore.
