Something serious...at my school

[Grandy]

 Don't go to school, in this whole month, thats all I can say. Life is not something I would risk for a few notes on the end of the year.
 It is only in your school this happens? There aren't rumors about this in any other schools?

[Dragonium]

I say if you feel like there's a danger, don't go. Nobody can stop you.

I've never really had a gun/bomb thing at my school, but that's 'cos I'm in the UK, I think. A while ago, a guy I knew took a knife into school and threatened to stab one of my friends. Cleverly, he told everyone about it. And got caught.

You know, it makes me wonder what's gonna happen to the human race next. If creeps like that can go around doing all this stuff, it's a wonder we're getting anywhere.

Anyways Ace, I sure hope it's a hoax. Good luck.

Yup. The only thing my school's ever closed down for was once when there was really bad ice on the ground and it was slippery. Boring, but so much less life threatening.

I really hope this is a hoax, man.

Well, I didn't go to school today. Nothing happened, thankfully, but I guess the school is really taking this seriously. Tomorrow, if you don't go to school, it's not counted against you. You get what's called a "validated abscence" and the only ways usually that you can get these, are if you are hospitalized. Apparently, this isn't a hoax. But I don't know..What I do know, is that I'm not going to school tomorrow. Some of my friends say that people still are O_o. Also, they say that teachers don't really have a "curriculum" for tomorrow. I only hope for the best. It's not only I who I'm concerned about, it's others too. Thanks for the responses guys, most of them helped.

 

Good luck, hope you don't die!

That could've been said a little more pleasantly though...

OKay, I love how we do exactly what people want. By remembering columbine we do exactly what those farts wanted. we remember. And you know what, I'm not going to take part in doing what they wanted, instead I will not think on it at all, forget it, and forget them,  if they knew that was going to happen, they wouldn't have done it in the first place. I'm sick of empty threats and cheap talk. If I were to shoot up a school, I wouldn't tell a soul, I'd go in without warning and mow everyone down. But kids are stupid. So I will not touch on the subject any longer. School shootings...bah, how weak, how easy, I'd like them to waltz into a police station and try shooting that up. ^_^

They did. In Florida. Four years ago.

We remember because we don't want the lives of those killed in school shootings to be in vain. We do remember the killers too, I agree with you on that point, but if we also remember the victims, and try to prevent more like them, then their lives were not wasted.
Seriously, Carmen, if you knew that there was going to be a shooting at wherever you're going to (school, work, wherever), would you arrogantly and ignorantly march to your death? And would you want people to just forget you after you died?

[Revolution911]

well....if I knew there was gonna be a shooting, i would still go to school. the kid wouldent be stupid enough to announce it if he was gonna do it. and if he does oh well thats on me. if i get shot thats on me.

well....good luck man.

[SnakeIzeGambit]

if u guys read more carefully u would see that it was an anonymous caller that sounded like a frightened adult. That means it posbile that its not a hoax cuz they didnt necessarily warn the school themselves(if it was indeed an adult).

My thoughts on this is that they were hoping to get a free day from this for 4/20, National Pot Day.

I wish you luck however, Ace Of Spades

[Revolution911]

well its pretty easy to fake an adult voice.

To those who say that this only happens in America and you are glad you don't live here, get your heads out of your asses. Sorry to say, but things like this can happen anywhere. You all make America sound bad, when it's really not. I hate it when people look at the bad and think that that is what the country is like, but that's the simple and easy way to think about things.

And I don't see why people are so afraid of dying. Death is inevitable, you will die in the future anyway, so what's the point in fearing it? Are you afraid of going to Hell? Are you afraid that you won't have repented for any sins? Well, I've got news for you. If you have lived an honest life, then you should have nothing to worry about. Seriously, no one is perfect and we were never intended to be. Death is something that happens, but hardly anyone cares when someone else dies. But when death begins to stare you in the face, you get clammy, hoping that you aren't a victim, but you feel relieved when you don't die. It's selfish and cowardly to not wish death upon yourself over other people.

Sorry, I'm just irritated.

[artoni]

C'est la vi.

I don't want to turn this into a whole life/death argument, so I'll simply say that I agree with some of the things Rune has said, and disagree with some of the others. In fact, that goes for about everyone. But that's what makes things great, eh?

Ace; like most if not everyone else here, I also hope that it is a hoax. I also hope that they find whoever has the balls to do this and that justice is served. Peace out, man.

Past experience is the greatest teacher. By just ignoring the past, you gain nothing, except maybe even more misfortune. A simple modern example: A jewely shop most likely won't hire someone to work for them if they have a few burglarys of jewely shops and identity thefts on their criminal record.

Wowzers, I just read that Wikipedia entry, thank you Warxe, and that is one some what terrifying story.

Stay Safe, Ace!

I'm afraid of dying because I'd like to live my life for a long time. and when I'm old, I'm probably still going to be afraid of dying. You can't say that you aren't afraid of everything you know, EVERYTHING ending. It doesn't mean you are weak, it means you are human.
