“Since it’s so close it made everything feel a bit more real.”

I think Oxford High School is like not too far from my school, like kids from my school know people who go to Oxford. One of them even said that he used to play baseball with the school shooter himself. So I guess since it’s so close it made everything feel a bit more real. Usually we hear about school shootings in other parts of the country, but then suddenly, it’s in Michigan, not even an hour drive away from our current location. It’s like making go to school — like kids fear going to school for weird reasons, or I guess, valid reasons, like taking a test, having weird or messy friendships, I don’t know, with other students. Maybe getting bad grades. Yeah, that’s scary and all, but now it’s getting to a point where we have to fear for our lives when going to school and that’s not very good at all.
