School Lockdown - YouTuber ClearlyChloe's Scary Story

YouTuber ClearlyChloe is full of light, has a great and fast-growing YouTube channel, an amazing attitude, and a huge heart! She's also a great storyteller, with a lot of funny and serious stories to tell. Her stories are always true and this one is a true scary story. Not Scary Little Sister or Bloody Mary scary, this is legit scary.

In this, her second storybooth animation story, Chloe shares her experience at school, when her classroom is put into lockdown, and it's not a drill! As far as the teacher and the kids know, it's the real thing.

And, as if that isn't bad enough, her Teacher was nervous, too young, and totally inexperienced. It was a scary classroom to begin with and the Teacher couldn't control the class, so, the kids did pretty much whatever they wanted. She tried to teach, but ultimately just got totally stressed out - crazy really - and there was just no structure in the classroom, ever. The Teacher was a wreck, crying in class, telling the kids that they were the worst kids ever and were ruining her life. Even though the Teacher was a hot mess pretty much every day, and even though that sometimes made school difficult, it was also kind of hilarious to watch, entertaining at the very least.

But it wasn't funny one day, just in the middle of a lesson, when the Teacher looked up at the digital clock and turned completely white. The clock wasn't showing the time, it was showing the word "bell" - a code word for LOCKDOWN PROCEDURES THAT ARE NOT A PRACTICE DRILL. The kids didn't know that, but the Teacher did, and she totally freaked out.

She ordered the kids to huddle in the corner, and didn't instill them with a lot of confidence or any sense of safety at all - instead, she burst out crying and shaking and sat in the corner behind her own desk trying to take deep breathes but really hyperventilating. This was the moment when the gravity of what was happening hit Chloe and her classmates - this was not a school lockdown drill, it was a real school lockdown, maybe with a live shooter, and the only adult in the room was more scared and panicking more than the kids!

Chloe was so scared - it felt like life and death was on the line, it was total panic time. The student were crying, danger and anxiety seemed like they was everywhere. She went to her Teacher and asked, "Are we going to die?" and, in a grave and trembling voice, the Teacher looked her in the eyes and said - "I don't know." That was it. This sent the whole class into hysterics. Students were trying to escape. Some kids were even throwing themselves against the windows, wanting to climb out, and Chloe imagined the worst - guns, shooting, her own funeral. She imagined all the things she hadn't yet done in her life. She thought about dying, about her last seconds on earth. Would this be another school shooting?

And suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Everybody froze! Was it a shooter, gunmen, an attacker, a killer, the police, the SWAT team, the Army? It occurred to Chloe that a school shooter probably would not knock before entering, and she thought that was kind of weird. And finally, the Teacher must have thought the same thing because she got our from behind her desk and opened the door.

It was the Teacher from the class next to theirs, and outside in the hall, everything was totally normal. Their Teacher asked - still shaken - "what's happening? Isn't there a lockdown?!" And the other Teacher said "No, they were just working on the clocks." And that was it, no lockdown, no shooter, no threat, no danger and even though Chloe was of course relieved, it ultimately made her sad to think of what her world has come to - where schools are put into lockdowns and students are afraid for their lives in what is supposed to be a second home and safe place.

This kind of storytime is both one of those scary stories and awkwardly funny at the same time, right? Mr Nightmare Lockdown Scary.

It's nothing against the teacher personally, but I hope she was let go or at least put into a different department after that lockdown anxiety attack. Making an entire class think they were going to die would've mentally scarred some of those kids. While it's okay to be prone to anxiety, if she were a teacher during a real lockdown, it could endanger the lives of many children.

Lastime I had a real lockdown, a fox broke into the school, SOMEHOW.

Our school is next to the woods, and someone was walking around in there. One kid thought he had a knife and the police were called, but in reality it was an innocent guy. Now that I think about it, I kinda feel bad for him.

I had a real lockdown just a few weeks ago, I was really scared but turns out it was just
Two dumb high schoolers robbing a nearby neighborhood as a joke and they saw the cops and hid in our school 😑

Last time I was in a real lockdown, there was a lady with a gun walking around my neighborhood close to the school. She didn't shoot anyone, but she appeared very drunk. We sat there in the dark of the library's basement for a good 45 minutes, and the flash light only made it more creepy. The worst part is, they didn't tell us it was a real lock down.

I had a lockdown today. We were pushed into a random classroom, and I got stuck in the computer room. That is literally the worst classroom to get stuck in during a lockdown in our school. No windows to escape from, and it's the farthest away from all the exits. We found out that there was a gunshot that was one street away from us. I was just reading a book to pass the time because we were in there forever. We later found out during 4th period that there was no gunshot. A car backfired and it sounded like a gun. Supposedly the driver heard us go into lockdown (the announcement speakers are really loud) and so he/she called the schools one at a time and told them his/her car backfired and he apologized. A lot of my classmates scoffed but I told them that the school did the right thing. They didn't know what it was, and they wanted to keep us safe and out of harm's way. The rest of the day was normal.

The last time I had a lockdown, Everyone was screaming and was so happy and energized. And people were talking and talking and the teacher looked so annoyed that I was assuming she was saying “WHEN WILL THESE KIDS SHUT UP” lol

Seriously if this lady is breaking down on the middle of class and calling the students awful then she probably shouldn’t be teaching. Teachers need to be calm and strong in these situations, freaking out and telling kids that they’ll most likely die is a really bad thing to do in a lockdown when you’re supposed to be quiet and hidden. Even though it wasn’t a real lockdown THIS time, what is gonna happen when it’s a real lockdown? This teacher could really put theses kids in danger when it could be much safer.
Plz don’t hate just speaking my mind.
