My friends...well, associates were always getting shit. From everybody. I didnt really do anything to them, so when school was over, we started chattin and stuff and we were cool. But now they are beginning to act weird. They keep bringing up revenge. One of them has a dad who hunts and says they the two of them can get guns and get revenge on the bastards at school. They asked me if I wanted in, I said no. I'm not sure if they are serious. If they arent, I could screw up everything. One day one of them showed me the guns. I froze up. They said if I told anyone they'd kill me first. I dont know what to do. School starts in a couple weeks. I can't tell anyone. I'm afraid. What do I do?

Hey.
I'm sure you feel as though you're all alone right about now. It can be hard to keep something so intense all to yourself.
Your "friends" have threatened you and you are confused as to whether or not they were simply joking. I understand.
However, the fact that they showed you guns proves they are far from mere jokes. This sounds pretty serious.
I highly suggest you tell someone of higher authority.
Although, i also highly suggest you try and distance yourself from them after doing so.

This entire issue is a messy ordeal. Perhaps the best thing to do, as of now, is to simply try and forget about these persons.
Try and distance yourself. If you truly don't feel safe telling someone of higher authority, as i suggested before, i highly suggest you simply stay away.
If you stay away, you are less likely to be harmed. If they ever doubt that you've ratted them out, you can simply convince them that you've kept your fucking mouth shut and only distanced yourself because you felt it was the right thing to do.

If they do "get revenge on the bastards at school", and their body's show up in the news the following day, you will be the only one who knows the story behind it.
The guilt just might wear you down until you choose to reveal their identities.
That's an entirely different issue, i know. But you have to take the consequences into consideration.

Oy, this is a twisted dilemma.
I'm not sure if this truly helps you at all. But i do wish you the best of luck, and i do hope that you at least take some of my suggestions into consideration.

Message me if you ever need someone to talk to.

If you fail to inform the authorities, not just "someone" and file a police report about everything they've told/shown you and they do go through with this you are nearly as responsible as they are. You don't have malicious intent, but you could stop this and all that's stopping you is the risk of losing these friends.

Do you really want to be known as the kid who could have stopped the next mass school killing but didn't because he was scared and confused?

Tell the police that they said if you told they'd kill you first, they'll make sure it doesn't happen. Tell them you're worried about your family too, obviously.

You need to go to the police first, THEN your school officials. And you need to be absolutely serious about it so they don't think you're pranking them.

This isn't about friendship anymore it is about the lives of many people who may or may not have bullied your friends. Generally in these shootings, uninvolved bystanders get killed. How would you feel if you weren't the kid that knew but someone else did and didn't stop it and your little sister got shot and killed because that kid was too much of a coward to do anything?

Don't listen to anyone else on this, listen to me, if you're not making this thread for attention and are serious, you need to drive over to the police station and make a report. By the way you can call them too but don't call 911, call 411 and ask for your town's Police or Sheriff's department, they'll have office numbers.
