I didn’t report a kid that brought a gun to school
Like 5 years ago (like Year 8?) I was sitting in math class. The kid next to me was a troubled kid, not really much of a bully but was very easily angered and was always kinda weird. I’ll call him James for the sake of convenience.
I was just doing my work, and often he would show me random things he’d done/made (taken apart calculators, drawing dicks on rubbers/erasers, etc) so I had largely learnt to ignore him and just nod along. One day he pulled something and showed me a whole gun he’d brought to school. I know nothing about guns, but it looked like some kind of revolver and a bullet? The thing is, I’m in the UK, we don’t have the same fear of guns like in the US because we don’t really have them. We have such strict laws about them, but he said he managed to get it because his family lived on a farm, since farmers are usually allowed guns for killing cattle and stuff. I was just kind of shocked and didn’t say anything.
Honestly, if I did say something, he probably would’ve ruined him life. I don’t know why I didn’t report it. I’m so lucky nothing happened or I wouldn’t be able to live with myself.
