| I was in study hall in 10th grade. I remember watching some of the footage when someone mentioned it right in the class room.
It was an early study hall, I believe. I don't recall much else other than the room I was in. ____________________ |

It was my senior year of high school, and I had just barely gotten to school when I heard about the terrorist attacks. I had no clue what was going on, and thought it might have been China or North Korea at first =/ ____________________ Twitter • YouTube • DeviantArt • The Left Mouse Button ERROR #1583: Layout down for maintenance. |

Rena I had one (1) message in Discord deleted and proceeded to make a huge, huge mess about how it was a violation of free speech and how moderators are supposed to be spam janitors and nobody should have the right to tell me not to talk about school shootings Level: 135 Posts: 3598/5390 EXP: 29074852 For next: 260153 Since: 07-22-07 Pronouns: he/him/whatever From: RSP Segment 6 Since last post: 342 days Last activity: 342 days

| I was back living with my mom in middle grade, and I was in... well, my past situations. I decided to call in sick, so I overslept.
It hits hard when you have done something immoral on such a day. x.x |

| I was in sixth form at the time, 17 years old. There were rumors going around school at about 14:45 that the teachers were watching something terrible happening on the news in their staff rooms, and the rest of the day pretty much fell apart. People were saying that the Twin Towers had been attacked, one had fell, and the Pentagon had been attacked. Those sorts of rumors in school are often exaggerated, so I didn't believe them entirely - but I got on my bike and raced home.
I reckon that was the fastest I'd gotten home from school ever. I got home just in time to watch the North Tower fall live on TV. It was something so big and unbelievable that it left me numb for a few days. I spent quite a few nights watching the news all the way until midnight. September 12th was interesting. I had lots of free periods in school that day, so I bought every newspaper and brought them to the common room to read. I sat there almost all day absorbing information and talking with friends. That week was probably one of the most surreal in my life. I also remember where I was on the day of the July London bombings. I was working in WHSmith Windsor, which is not far outside of London. I was working in the stock room that week, so we were listening to the news reports on the radio, like we had been listening to the radio reports that we'd won the 2012 Olympics just the day before. We were hearing that trains to London were stopping at Maidenhead, so I wasn't sure if I could get home to Reading at the end of the day. I remember there being enough police on the street to be on every single street corner in Windsor and Reading. It was amazing how many officers were around - there must have been a fair number recalled from offices, leave, etc. |

Paulguy's Post configuration I was in middle school. I didn't find out until I got home. The staff didn't want to tell the students about it, I guess. ____________________ |

| I was in Elementary School, Kindergarden. I don't really remember much, giving that I was 5. God bless those who had been in the attack. Bless them and their families. |

| 4th or 5th grade.
It's time to start the second (or first) class hour for the day, so everyone walks across the hall into the next class (Math). Teacher is there watching the television in the corner. I don't have a clue what's going on. The rest of the class hour is basically this. Once the hour (roughly) is over, everything proceeds as normal from what I remember. ____________________ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Posts = 2862 Age = 1146 Lv 82 Exp 5184764 / 5209227 LvExp 191915 / 216378 (88.7%) PostExp = 2717 ExpTime = 38.218 |

| I think I was in fourth grade, I saw it on my way to school but I really had no idea what was going on until somebody explained it to us in school. |

Uh, let's see... I went into Grade 12 during September 2006 (grad. 2007), so I started Grade 6 that year, my last year of Elementary before I went on to Junior High.
More than likely I was in class at the time. They mentioned it over the PA system, but I think that was it, maybe... ____________________ |

I was 1 of the only atheists living in a heavily religious area, and I was rather upset.
