What is even going on...?

Okay so a bit of a recap here.

At my school, a couple of weeks ago, there was a shooting threat. Someone had posted a threat in the bathroom saying that they were going to kill everyone. The police were there all day, but I left because I was scared and my parents wanted me home. Two days later, someone posted another threat. And another. One was more specific, actually naming some people.

So, here we are now, and I'm starting to feel a little bit safe again but no. Someone has to go and ruin it for EVERYONE. Another threat apparently. This time by a group. Now, I'm not sure because this one is just a rumour- that I've heard from a LOT of people. But I'm still scared.

Isn't it my right to feel safe and secure at my school? Bad enough being different and persecuted to an extent for that, bad enough that some of my best friends who are homosexual are being persecuted for that- but now, we can't feel safe even when there are teachers around. What is our society coming to? People used to hate school because it's boring. Because we have to work hard and don't get an immediate reward.

Now we hate school because we're afraid we're going to our deaths.

Now we hate school because we're afraid of being hurt. Seeing our friends- our loved ones, being hurt.

It just sickens me.
