Since they are the low man on the totem pole, they are a source of derision and abuse.

All the freshman are knew and some come in with the attitude that they are the best and the upper classmen hate that. The upper classmen in our school feel that they got picked on when they were freshman, so now that they are seniors they gey revenge.

Hazing is an often ritualistic test, which may constitute harassment, abuse or humiliation with requirements to perform meaningless tasks; sometimes as a way of initiation into a social group. The term can refer to either physical (sometimes violent) or mental (possibly degrading) practices. The word is most frequently encountered in the United States and Canada; in the British Commonwealth ragging or fagging is usually used instead. In continental European languages terms with a 'christening' theme or etymology are often preferred (e.g. baptême in French) or variations on a theme of naivety and the rite of passage such as a derivation from a term for freshman (e.g. bizutage in French, ontgroening 'de-green[horn]ing' in Dutch).

because most freshmen come into a new school thinking its going to be like last year when they were the older, wiser students. And so the upper classmen show them that they arent

It's just one of those high school things you can't change. Just ignore it and one day you will be laughing at the silly freshman.
Don't let this worry you.
Good luck

because its fun and funny, it was done to them as freshman so they do it and on and on it goes. You will do the same thing, it may not be as harsh as others but you will still make fun of them running to class with huge backpacks.

because many pupils wish to speak different languages and so also for the reason to go to a particular country spaeking the learnt language.
