I have a HUGE fear of stuff like this happening. I live not too far from an important city so I have fears of terrorist attacks. Whenever a school shooting comes up I get nervous, but now I'm terrified since I'm starting high school! The school I go to is big, but still. How do I deal with these fears!!?? Please help!!

 

Hey girl! Remember that the reason stuff like this makes the news is because it's SO RARE.  Out of thousands and thousands of schools in the country, one school every once in a while has an incident.  Schools are usually safe places, so remember that! xoxo 

MOD!!!!!!!MOD!!! My school is so hypocritical! Last year a student I WAS friends with threatened to shoot three girls,including my best friend. He was caught with a gun at a football game, and expelled. My friend and I were so relieved. And yet the school has allowed the gun man to return this year. I'm terrified, I don't trust him, now I don't trust my administrators. They say they're doing everything to make the school "safe", then why'd they let him back? My best friend is terrified she's been diagnosed with anxiety because of it. How can I help her to feel safe again?

 

hey! that's awful! I can't believe your school would allow him back. You should tell your parents, all of you, so that they can contact the administrators and find out exactly what measures are being taken to keep your friend and everyone else safe. Since she was explicitly threatened that should be the school's priority. good luck!
