Obligatory mY scHoOL iS dAngEroUs story-
Yes, I've told this story like twice, and yes I am a paranoid conspiracy theorist.
Cw, talk of school shooting.
The literal last day of school before quarantine (not that we knew), Friday, a friend (A) told me he found bullets and bullet cases in the boy's restroom. Now my school is all white, all hicks, all sad. The stereotypical school shooter. The maga hats were especially loud ever since the GSA became a thing (tearing down posters, bullying). There was also a recent tragedy in my town, further giving our stereotypical shooter feul to do something stupid. So when my A told me this, that there were bullets and cases in the bathroom, and then told me I couldn't tell anyone, I had a silent freak out in math class. A and his buddy X had already told staff, and the rescource officer was allegedly doing something to keep us safe. I texted my best friend about it, because if something happened and they weren't prepared, I'd feel guilty.
After math I asked for proof of the bullets found. A told me to see X's snap chat through friend B. My next class was with B and only one other student. So I ask B to see X's snap, and sure enough, bullets scattered around the floor and one of those cardboard boxes. Since that class was only three students and our teacher, we talked about it freely for a bit. I was scared, but most of me thought it was planted or something. But if they wanted to have a show, make a scene, wouldn't they have left some sort of note? A threat to get the school to declare a lockdown? Otherwise, what smart shooter, at least not a careless one, would leave that there?
Anyway, time went on. The officer stood in the hallway the bathroom was in all day. Staff moved from classroom to classroom a lot more, speaking in hushed tones, nodding to each other. Maybe that's just my paranoia.
No lock down was declared, and no one was shot that day. Part of me wonders if quarantine hadn't been surprised on us then the shooter would've built up the lost courage over the weekend.

yes
when I as younger, we were put into an active lockdown because a man had stolen a car and drove onto our playground (where children were) while armed with a gun and a knife
then he ran into the woods behind our school and the police couldn't find him
it was traumatizing, I'm not going to lie

My school was put on active lockdown because a man who lived nearby (who it later turned out was actually the dad of some of the students) was threatening suicide via gun.
And then one time I was at summer school and there was a "code black drill", except it uh
Wasn't a drill
They just told us it was to keep us from panicking

No but some YA authors don't seem to know that
ooohhh right. I remember that video
I sort of want to read the trippy books ngl.
a dude at my school brought tools to class and used them to disassemble a urinal
Chaotic as hell.
Have y'all seen that Tumblr (?) post about how "nice" isn't a personality trait? Anyway I really like that post
Why are you bringing it up?
Fair.
