Senior Assain has started

[Anonymous]

It doesn't happen at school or on school grounds. It's actually incredibly well-organized through social media and the kids have a great time.

All three of my kids loved this game when they were seniors. Of course, the usual suspects will now commence to clutch their pearls.

Seemed innocuous to me and part of what made senior year fun.

Private school parent reporting in— long standing tradition and kid is loving it. The rules don’t allow any type of water toy that looks remotely like a weapon.

Yes, good old fashioned fun where we mock assassinate people and shoot guns. Yeehaw, USA, USA.

Yeah, America is the worst!
I suppose you think people being deported are being done a favor. Save them from icky-poo America.

I hate this game.
I hate that my kid decided to participate.
I hate that some kids know where I live and were camped out at the edge of my yard (and came up to my garage before I asked them to leave my property) waiting for my kid to come out to go to school.
I hate guns and gun culture.
I hate that in my UMC neighborhood maybe no one would blink an eye with kids running around with plastic guns but in other neighborhoods kids are getting shot for real.
I wish I could listen to those who will invariably repsond here telling me to lighten up. But I can't. The world is heavy right now and this game of assasin isn't helping.
I hate the hate I am feeling.

Water balloons? Tag (like the movie based on the real life game of tag friends played for decades)? Keeping it at school (evidentely, you cannot play at school at all)? Keeping it to the daytime?
Is there something that could change to make this work?

Ugh.... copy-paste much? Did you miss the part where this is labeled as a game?

It's only a game until someone gets hurt...

By that logic, why not ban all games.

I always wonder about people who call their neighborhoods UMC. Then it turns out the live in Annandale or Gaithersburg.....

I love that the kids are making fun memories, not out there loitering, doing drugs or vandalizing property. We can put up with this for a few more weeks.

You need therapy if you're projecting all your anxieties onto some seniors enjoying their last year in high school. The adults running this country have done everything they can to make everyone anxious and miserable, and if you don't realize kids need to have some fun at this time of the year you are losing the plot.

I’m pretty sure many in Annandale and Gaithersburg would still be upper middle class - especially in comparison with the rest of the country!!
