They have to do drills to make sure the shooter is ready.

Terrified at a young age, it may not be weird people take to the one legal drug if they finally reach the age of legality.

They not only did this whole skit at my high school, they literally had a helicopter from the local hospital airlift the “injured” students off the football field where the assembly was held.

I was kinda jealous of my friend, who was one of the two kids who got to ride the chopper. I’ve never ridden in a chopper. 🥺

We had a day when they simulated a group of students being killed in a drunk driving accident. They still had to come to school, though, so they wore white face paint and weren’t supposed to interact with anyone.

My school had this too. The fake crash was on the grass by the bus loop, and the theatre kids involved went to class with ghost facepaint and didn’t talk until school was dismissed. NGL it stuck with me, but I was already afraid of alcohol and drugs because of DARE* 🤷‍♂️

*Discredited program that only worked on me apparently.

DARE worked on a lot more than just you. It even worked to get a lot of kids into drugs!

Yes, but it wasn’t fake. Three students died playing drunk motorcycle chicken, two guys and one of them had their girlfriend on the back. The whole school was in mourning and I got written up for pointing out that they were clearly fucking idiots.

It is worth noting that this sort of thing was only done for a very brief period of time. It’s not like this is how all American schools have warned students since 1978.

Still hilarious when you look back on it.

Making friends laugh when they are supposed to be still/silent is like… Half the reason to have friends. All thebsrupid charades we used to do whenever someone was on the phone with their parents or girlfriend lol. Or the moaning and making ridiculous comments loudly lol.

I don’t often remember highschool fondly but it happens once in awhile.
