With all these shootings here lately, it made me remember something from high school. There was this kid my friend group knew, who was a bit troubled mentally. He trusted us with his private, and often very dark thoughts. Let us read his journal for some reason, can’t really remember why. He said in his journal that he planned to shoot up the school on a certain date, even told certain people to stay home that day. We had no choice but to turn him in to the principal. Is it weird that I felt guilty for turning him in? Obviously I knew it was the right thing to do and I had to, but I still felt that twinge of guilt and I think my other friends did as well.
I highly empathize with people who are bullied, because I was bullied mentally, verbally, physically and sexually during elementary school and junior high. I know how it feels. Wouldn’t change what I did though, I’d turn him in again if it happened today 🫤 I wonder how he’s doing these days. Hopefully better. Hope he got the help he needed.
I was bullied too, through elementary and high school. School was worst years of my life, tbh.
But of course it was right to do. If he really started mass shooting… we had such kid too, at elementary school, all others were beating him a lot. It was all wrong.
I’m sorry you had to go through that too ☹️ it is awful how people can act towards others. For no good reason.
I think we all had “that kid” in our schools.
