    Wait.

    At first I thought this was about a school of survivors. But it seems like it isn't? If it isn't then no way this is real. Especially the who you'd die for part, this is 100% fake.

      Much of it is exaggerated, but I’ve definitely seen most of it experienced especially knowing what places are good to hide in schools or not wanting to go to bathrooms during class.

        Up to that point I understand. Well, the bathroom thing is still kinda weird to me for teens who haven't experienced a shooting but I can sort of see it. But when I got to the who's gonna die for whom part and especially the Shakespearean sword part I checked out.

          Eh you’d be surprised. Many Americans I know who haven’t experienced a shooting would usually say how sometimes they get nervous during class change time cause it’s so populous, or the fire alarm thing in the post, or walking alone on campus. It’s a secondary traumatic situation there from just constantly knowing you could very well die at school any day in that country.

        I think that line is about kids who died holding the camera in some other shooting or something. I didn't notice the question above at first, but apparently it is about survivor's guilt in schools where shootings DIDN'T happen. Like, come on, no one ever told kids to pick who they will die for.

      There was a lockdown at my school for something that turned out to not be a threat. In the split second that the staff started clearing us from the cafeteria, I decided that I wanted to go to the library or a classroom so that I could chuck something through a window if need be and make a run for it. I was sitting with a friend who had a reputation of being smart or whatever, and he led the handful of us who were sitting together to an office right in the center of the building.

      Not a great feeling to sit on the floor and wait to die, trying to figure out what the options are if a threat popped up at the door (not a whole lot at that point).

        Yeah I imagine if there was a lockdown everyone would be shitting their pants. But I just can't buy that the drama teacher is asking kids who's gonna sit at the door with the fucking Shakespeare swords.

          for sure, I agree that the original post takes something real but exaggerates it fivefold to the point of being ridiculous
