7th grade here. Same, wheeled in a TV cart, and all the emotionally sheltered kids were crying and freaking out.
I had been in Foster homes since 6, I've seen so much since the beginning, that was the day that I realized I was so traumatized already that it felt weird to watch other kids reactions and not have the same reaction.
Its not that I didn't feel worried or scared, but it was more that my survival instincts kick in and my brain goes to assessing the danger, observing others for those who need help, and trying to be the calm in the storm.
Many of us in this life are called to be witnesses in spirit, and in flesh, during these times. Those who wish not to partake in the education will be removed from the earth, as I believe is happening with the vaxxine and virus. At least to me, it feels like the spiritually blind and dead in christ are the same blue pillers, that we all disdain.
Amongst all this pain and tragedy, never lose sight of God's plan for you, and that he gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers. In that sense I accept my earthy affliction with a sense of pride, and thankfulness, because it hopefully means it is all for a greater purpose.
I remember being sick to my stomach wondering what it even meant. Like, were we safe etc. The boys handled it pretty well but all of us girls were pretty much in a panic attack.
That liberal teacher got fired a few years later for sleeping with a student 🤦🏼♀️
6th Grade in Western Canada when it happened. The cartoons were replaced by news stories. The teachers were talking about it, some of them crying. The newspapers and newscasts were blanket coverage for weeks. I thought that things like that always happened and that was just how the world was...and now I can’t remember how it was before.
4th grade here… watched it all happen live. I now live only about 5 miles from Dulles airport where one of the planes took off from on that day. For the past three days I have been living in absolute hell listening to every single flight fly over. Anxiety is at 1000%. The government wonders what the hell is wrong with our generation. Well, when you’re forced to watch your own government blow up your own citizens and people literally jumping to their deaths from the tallest buildings you’ve ever seen to keep from burning alive at a young age then they blame it on a foreign country, it fucks you up. Then it starts a 20 year war where alot of the kids you grow up with go off to fight in, get injured or killed. Then a fake ass President surrenders in that war 2 weeks before the 20 year anniversary. I wonder why we as a generation and a country are so FUCKED up. Let them continue though because they are about to fuck around and find out.

Jfc that was brutal.

I found out my German teacher was sleeping with one of my female friends during HS. I don’t think he got fired though. Crazy.
But people don’t really talk about that day. Their experiences. It really was traumatic for all.
