Review of the loyalty of high school students

So this is more of a personal one. I have noticed that there are two types of students and it is quite disheartening. There is a type student that will stand up for what they believe in, no matter the consequences. There also is a student, at the sight of consequences for actions that they know are right will avoid the punishment at all cost. It is a ridiculous when in a country where individualism is supposed to be a notion of pride people wont be civilly disobedient. In this day in age it is disheartening.
