I've heard of quite a few people who grew up in the days of nuclear drills, and they had actual nightmares about such scenerios. I hope we've done a better job with our youth at teaching them to be prepared, without all the attached anxiety.
I grew up with the nuclear drills. They would round us up depending on where we lived and have us go down into the basement while we waited for the all clear. As a kid, it was no more upsetting than a fire drill...nobody I knew was traumatized
Well good for you...and your word is the final assessment.
I'll open it up to any other posters who went through the nuclear drills while in school
Were you upset or was it no big deal???
