Amy takes us inside Columbine High School twenty-one years later. She finds the spot where she hid as the shooting started. She reconnects with her principal, Frank DeAngelis. We learn what he had to sacrifice in his personal life in order to be there for “his kids.” Then teacher Tom Tonelli, a current Columbine history teacher and coach, whose tenure began before the massacre, explains why he has no fear of teaching there. Amy confesses a long-held secret about her family.

I just want to stand in place for Amy's mom, say to her ,"I'm sorry I wasn't there for you when you needed it" and give her a hug. and maybe that could help her release and heal from the feeling of abandonment from that time in her life. I had someone do that for me long after my mom was gone and it was so healing.
What Amy's family did makes me mad. She just went through a traumatic experience that could have ended her life and her family thinks she should have just gotten over it??? I think it would be monumental to her health and healing to tell her family how that hurt her. Putting others first like that isn't healthy, even more so when it makes us minimize our own experience and pain.
