There is a great divide between religion here. The high school is largely divided between apostolics and non apostolics, and one group heavily bullies the other, and the inverse. It is a volatile situation as the apostolics do not have any tolerance for people of another group. They control the board and therefore cause unfair punishments to be brought onto those who do not practice when compared to those who do.
