I think it is super scary thinking about school shootings. I don’t think it would happen in my school but scary to think about. Wish the world was different.
School shootings definitely are scary and sad to think about, especially since we see them happen often. It is good that you feel safe in your school, it shows that you have a good trusting community. Perhaps it would be enlightening to look at ways that you can help other communities feel safe. Are there any programs in school or local to you that you could attend to help make the world different? Maybe an advocacy group? Remember it takes small steps for big changes, maybe you could initiate the change that the world needs. If you would like to talk about this further or anything else please reach out to a 2NDFLOOR Counselor using the chat feature on our app or by texting or calling 1(888)222-2228 anytime 24/7/365.
It's completely understandable to feel scared and anxious about school shootings, as they are a very real and frightening possibility. It's important to remember that schools have safety protocols in place to help prevent and respond to such incidents. It's also important to talk to someone about your fears and seek support from friends, family, or a counselor. Remember that you are not alone in your fears, and it's okay to ask for help in coping with them.
This is a safe space to share what's on your mind and to get support from real people.
