Top Ten Scariest/Annoying Things About School Threats

From experience, school threats are really scary. My school was threatened almost a month ago, and I was absolutely terrified. Inspired by that threat, (and some talking I need to get off my chest really badly) here's some of the scariest and annoying things about school threats.

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT MEAN TO FRIGHTEN KIDS OR ENCOURAGE THE ACT OF SCHOOL THREATS. I JUST NEED TO GET THIS OFF MY CHEST BECAUSE I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO ANYWHERE ELSE.
IF YOU OR YOUR SCHOOL HAS BEEN THREATENED, STAY STRONG AND STAY SAFE, YOU'LL GET THROUGH IT❤

The Top Ten
1 The threats most likely involve death

In my school, the threat was actually unknown (the statement hasn't been released, and I don't think ever will be) but he had a "Hit List". A hit list is a list of people you want to kill. He even texted some people on the list "You're next". I was fortunate enough to not be on the list

Threats Aren't' even That bad they kill These People for A Reason

2 People talking about it

At one point, I got sick and tired of hearing about it. "So and so made the threat! " "He was sent to a mental hospital! " Sweet Mother Mary McCartney, please shut up, I don't want to hear it anymore! If you say one more word about this, I swear I will zip your lips shut

3 Suddenly hearing it on the news one day

The day I found out about the threat, it was on the news that afternoon, when my mom had found out. I was both scared to say some idiot threatened a school and annoyed at the fact that it was probably the 100000000 time I had to hear or talk about it.

4 Not feeling safe at school

No matter what, many kids (including myself) didn't feel safe. I didn't get as frightened as the other kids, but deep down, I was pretty scared (part of the reason I made this list).

5 The threat could take place anytime or anywhere

The bomb, the gun shots, the killings, could happen anytime or anywhere. It could be a stupid bloody Tuesday in Math class, or a Friday in Science class. It could take place during a locker break, during gym, it could even occur first thing in the morning.

There was a shooting at my high school years ago.

6 "S/he is in school today."

As stated above, you can never tell if that day will be the day. This quote that is way too often said just makes the situation worse.

7 Never feeling the same again at school

This happened to me in grade 4. The school suddenly felt like it transformed into something completely different, but definitely not exciting.

Suddenly, it just feels different, like the school has transformed into something totally new, but not exciting.

8 Knowing the person who made the threat

I actually kind of knew the person who made the threat at my school, but also didn't. He used to live a few houses down from me, was probably on my bus, and went to my elementary school for a few years. I don't even have a faint memory of him

I had something similar at school. But from a teacher. He called someone stupid and threw a chair at her/him. But that's all I heard...

9 NOT knowing the person who made the threat

I told people I didn't know who he was, but most people seemed to know him. Well, he wasn't in any of my classes, so I wouldn't be able to know.

The Contenders
11 News stations and policemen watching the school

One morning, there was a news truck parked across the street of the school, and was there almost all day. Another day, there was a camera man standing in the same spot across the street. Even last night (9 November 2015) there was a policeman at the front door of the school for conferences. Hell, even they're there mostly ALL day. It just feels weird
