Parkland Survivors Confess On 'Ellen' They Were Terrified To Be Back In School - Watch Here!
Student survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting – 18-year-old Sam Zeif and 17-year-old Delaney Tarr – from Parkland, FL make an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, airing on Thursday (March 22)!
The two students discuss the mixed emotions they felt returning to school and reveal there are triggers that send them into a panic.
“Even if it’s really hard for us to go back, being there, being teenagers, being high schoolers, even if it’s just those fleeting seconds where you still get to feel like how you used to, you get to feel normal, those are the things that, I think, we need to treasure and to keep doing,” Delaney expressed to Ellen.
“If there’s a textbook that falls off a desk, the whole class jumps,” Sam says, while Delaney added that “every loud noise, fire alarms, everything slightly reminiscent of that day sends me into a panic mode. It sends all of us into a panic mode.”
