    My school had a wreck towed on campus to look at, but no skit. No, that was too tame. They held periods during which they had a speaker come and show us gorey slides of the results of car wrecks. You could opt out of it of course, but most attended and traumatized ourselves. It sounds fake, and now I’m wondering if I am relaying a false memory about it or not. Did this happen to anybody else?

      No pictures for me, but instead we got anecdotes from parents and first responders of fatal accidents in our own town. Someone talked to us about scraping brains off the street after collisions without seatbelts.

      We definitely had the wrecked car before prom at my high school. Not the slide show though. I think one year we did have to attend a presentation where a parent who lost their kid in an accident gave a talk, which is also a little fucked up.
