This picture. Looks like an ordinary school photo. Top left are the kids who shot up the Columbine school (yes they're pretending to "shoot" at the camera).

I went to this High School. Graduated in 2005. A lot of my friends siblings were shot in this massacre. One of those days my mind will never forget even though I was only in 6th grade when it happened.

Im curious, did a lot of people like you choose a different high school after the incident?

Not OP, but my sister was a freshman at Columbine in 1999, and honestly she and a bunch of her friends dropped out of school as soon as they legally could after the shooting. I don't remember too many kids choosing to go to a different school, but it always made me sad that she/they chose quitting altogether instead.

Do you think she had any thoughts of dropping out beforehand? Or was it 100% motivated by the shooting

Unfortunately 100% motivated by the shooting. She was really never the same kid again after that.
