It's less dramatized at least. I went through this too and lockdowns haven't changed much.
A teacher would barge around the halls and shake the locked door handles as we all crouched, it was pretty scary.
But this level of detail feels like embellishment, 'even the ranch kids cry' it feels like an author taking artistic liberties to hyperbole while swearing it's the truth. Why's that necessary? My siblings don't feel this way, they're in high school now.
We can fight for gun reform and mental healthcare without turning things into 'every student lives in constant paralyzing fear crying constantly'.
Yeah, I work in a school, and aside from occasional drills that the kids don't take seriously, none of this shit is even remotely familiar to me. Like, lol I don't know any teachers who have staplers at hand to throw
Teenagers, at least where I work, are not on the verge of bursting into tears and curling up into a ball at all times.
I got out of school right before shootings became common enough to happen every week, but I could see the already present impulsive fears begin to morph. Before the shootings were that common, everyone in my hometown was afraid of secret Muslims and insurrectionary gay people suddenly conquering the place, then towards the end of high school the fear started transitioning to something more like "Muslim and gay students will commit school shootings." And it seemed like a genuine fear for some of the less connected to reality students. I know two former classmates who refer to themselves as survivors, despite a shooting or terrorist attack never occurring. All we had were drills and cops roaming around.

Honestly, is being totally desensitized to this sort of thing any less heartbreaking of a reaction?

USA Education
Let the message hit harder this way
It hits like parody is the issue because they took it so far imo
It doesn't hit harder, it comes off as Tumblr fanfic, because it is.

Gothic tumblr tweens are emo, but PTSD is very real
If this was a school of survivors then yeah I would get it. But apparently it isn't?
