or at least one of the reasons why, reading articles about school shootings affects me the way they do. They all seem to be saying that I should be fine!

"People who are at greater risk for trauma include those who were present during the event. Other people at greater risk include those who witnessed the deaths of others, or felt like their own life was endangered.

First-responders who were in a position of responsibility, such as police or emergency medical technicians, can also be at greater risk for trauma, as can anyone who felt responsibility for not recognizing or preventing the event before it occurred."

“There are three circles of vulnerability. The first circle includes those students and staff who were in close physical proximity to the shootings. The second circle includes those who were in close social proximity to the shooting victims—people who were their close friends or roommates, for example. The third circle is comprised of people who have had a history of trauma or violence in their family.”

None of these apply to me! So why...
