The Chocolate War (1988)

Jerry, a new student at an elite Catholic prep school, must face the hazing practices handed down by the Vigils, a group of powerful students.

However, Jerry decides to keep up the refusal past the original time frame, which pits him against the Vigils and the school staff.
