      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'.
