writes:So before I get to the question, I have to tell a story.I am currently a junior in high school. When I was in 8th grade, I had a very "unsteady" feeling in the air I breathed, but I said nothing. Only a few days later (within the same week) my school had a pretty scary bomb threat. Mind, it was ONLY a threat, but I still felt that something bad would happen, and it did.Before that, in elementary school, I had been at home and felt like something unfortunate would make my sister late coming home from school. I told my mom and she asked what and why, I didn't know. She called my sister about half an hour from school ending. They were under intruder lockdown.Well, lo and behold, I have this feeling again. It has been two weeks since I was last at school (winter break) and this isn't a feeling of dread from going back to school, but I feel very uneasy and feel like I should tell the counselor as soon as I can if the feeling isn't gone by Monday morning.Should I act on this feeling of deep dread? It's definitely above what I've thought before.Dont call me a crazy liar or anythng of the sorts, because I know something may happen. Be it a death or a car wreck, it is definitely something to do with the school.I'm worried that if I act I might be questioned by the cops and placed on a watch list or something, so I'm hesitant to ask, but I'm also worried that something bad will happen if I don't say anything at all.Do I act?

As far as the bomb threat is concerned, you probably picked up on the emotions of the children who called it in if that were the case. I planned to go to one of the Mart stores today and I forgot it was Sunday and misread the bus schedule and then decided it wasn't worth it to go. My boyfriend called me and asked what I was doing from his work and I told him about how I messed up the bus schedule and he said, "Well Thank God, that bus got stuck on some train tracks when a train was coming and everyone had to evacuate.". My boyfriend. That was a message from God that he would get me out of scary situations. I could have said that I subconsciously misread the schedule on purpose because I had a premonition that something bad would happen. As for your sister, you were worried about something, and your concern caused your mother to call and you found out what was going on. I think that speaks to some level of intuition, but you would have found out anyway, you just found out sooner. In either case, it was nothing anybody could have done to stop it. I am glad you're thinking ahead about learning authorities incase nothing happens and even worse, if it does. They could assume you made a false threat, or somebody could make a threat and they would assume you are involved.I agree with the other agony aunt that you might want to speak to your family about this. You are talking about two isolated incident where the safety of others was threatened, and you are on high alert. It's understandable, but at best the police will just assume that you have high anxiety and they will not take you seriously. I think there may be some trauma leftover from those two incidences which don't get me wrong, they are very scary and terrible, I just really hope you get some treatment for it so that you have a professional who you can bounce thoughts and feelings off of. he or she can talk you through it and help you to gauge whether your fear is reasonable to what is going on.

 I do grant you that there is an unexplainable power of premonition that some people have. You maybe one of them. However, your premonitions are specific only in hind sight. In other words, even though you may feel some trauma ahead, you cannot tell what that is. Therefore, even if you warn people of danger, it it still unclear as danger from what?! You are right about possible cop action against you and attempts to implicate you, but unless you have detailed specifics, you may want to not tell the public.
On the other hand, I don't see a problem of you telling it to your parents who, I presume, already know your track record on this sort of a thing and may keep you home as a precaution or have some other ideas to keep you safe.
