(*Freshman: a student in the first year of high school/college/university.) (**Senior: a student in the last (usually fourth) year of high school/college/university.) Milburn High School in New Jersey is known for making Newsweek's list of the top 200 schools in the nation. But the high school is also fast becoming known for another list, the "slut list." "Every year these senior girls -- there is usually that one clique, I don't know what you'd call it, a group of girls who create a so-called slut list of incoming freshman* girls," said recent Milburn graduate Conner Leslie. "It basically consists of a list of girls and little blurbs of something degrading." For about 10 to 15 years now, popular senior** girls have developed the list and passed it around, according to Leslie and other former classmates. This year it was created at an alcohol-fueled party and it was worse than ever, one current senior told "Good Morning America." A reporter for the Milburn-Short Hills Patch Web site told "GMA" she obtained this year's slut list and on it were the names of 21 freshmen out of a class of more than 300. Each entry had vulgar descriptions of the 13- or 14-year-old girls. "I'm so desperate and hairy that I'll give you [drugs] for free if you get with me," one entry read. "Keeping up with the family tradition, [blank] me ... and knock me up," read another. The list is just part of what happens on the first day of school, students say. Seniors also blow loud whistles at freshmen, shove them into lockers and, in years past, slapped stickers on their backs. Some of the stickers labeled the girls "sluts" or "whores," Leslie said. The school's superintendent, Richard Brodow, sent an e-mail to students last week saying "any so called 'ritual' which in any way threatens, degrades or makes any youngster feel intimidated or less than whole is a violation of school policy and just plain wrong." Though many parents have complained about the list, about a dozen current and former students told "GMA" the whole thing is being blown out of proportion. Some girls even want the attention of being on this list and feel left out if they're not on it, said the students we talked with. The girls who are on the list, they said, are the very same popular girls who, as seniors, haze the newcomers. And according to freshman Maxine Mandell, the first day's hazing is not as bad as many believe, and is all in good fun. "I think they're taking stuff and twisting it ... really it's all fun," Mandell said. "It wasn't anything bad ... . What people don't see is it's getting so much better, and it's turned from a bad thing into a fun thing."

Reminds me about the movie about "mean girls" but doesn't seem so extreme. I thought there was going a couple of catfights<_<
^ yeah but burn book consisted of facts about people and it was from all girls to boys to teachers ...soooo not really like this book ... as it only consist of slags/suts/whores ... meeeh america eh *shrugs
I saw a show talking about this issue, it's degrading to these girls on the list and to females everywhere but kids these days don't find it that disrespectful as older people. If they want to be sluts, all the men will be fine with that but it's just a slap in the face of those women's who fought for female rights and respect.
catfights? lol dont expect too much, but plz still concern about this issue, its bad enough to do this to the little froshies, who just step into HS from middle school/junior high. i rmb i knw nothing when i was a frosh, so freakin emo back & stuff. as i became a senior ill help as much as i can to the froshies. i just gave them lil attitudes lmao, "Seniors are ALWAYS right."
all in fun? lol when did getting shoved in a locker become fun? "oh hiiii i'll see you at the party after i get out of here!"
Ppl always need to find a way to make themselves look better... esp those "popular" chicks who think their all that... their just pathetic n their probably the biggest whorebags out there too lol... hypocrites.... so glad NL isnt like that... ppl might pick on eachother but not like that....
I can't believe school officials and parents show no reaction to this stuffs .. are they proud to have the tradition and their daughter being on the list or what? ... lol
^ i am confused .. are you a gal or guy? oh way .. a slut or a pimp like someone mentioned earlier .. .lol
thats so crazy, aint the pop girls meant to be a good role model or sumfin towards the noobies? glad this didnt happen in my school lol the closest thing we had was like top 10/20 pretty girls/ buff guys in our school LOOOL
^OMG yes thats so true... when i see em i always think their stuck in time... they still have the same style n all... still hanging ard the same neigbourhood n still driving those little scooters >_<
^ most popular kids from my school ended up marrying right after high school and never went on to college .. holding minimum paying jobs .. so yeah being cool have its consequences .. lol they should've just focus on school academics instead ...
