    At the age of 12 I was told I needed to know who I would die for and that it was okay if it was nobody, that was my decision to make.

    What the fuck is this about?

      Has to be fake. This is the most insanely melodramatic post I've ever seen, they were already doing lockdown drills when I graduated and I'm pretty sure I witnessed literally none of the above.

        What you never grabbed the "shakespearean swords" in your drama classroom to defend yourself?

          stupid af but I remember teachers actually saying stuff like "we can drop the heavy books on him" or whatever. That was earlier before we had daily mass shootings so perhaps it was more in jest back then.

        The entire post seems that way, but I do recall having some little writing assignment back in like fifth grade (mid 90s, pre-Columbine) wherein we were supposed to think about who/what we would die for. Idk. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        Either way, doing these kinds of melodramatic drills wherein you have people acting the parts of shooters and victims, that's a giant waste of money that just traumatizes kids.
