School shooting? Oh, you know, it happens
17 dead due to a school shooting in Florida. So many people are grieving, rightfully so, and my heat goes out to the victims and their families.
But have you guys noticed the generational gap when it comes to these things? Baby Boomers and Gen Xers are all shocked and sad. Millennials are frustrated. But Gen Z on the other hand…
Oh Generation Z.
This is becoming our normal. Our day to day. Just our monthly mass shooting.
We’re becoming desensitized to it because we have been growing up with this stuff. We grow up practicing intruder and lockdown drills because it’s something to expect now, not a MIGHT, but an expectation at this point. This happens so much that when we see this in the news, not one tear rims our eyes; we feel bad but we don’t truly feel it impact us.
And isn’t that sad? That so many people are being killed yet we feel close to nothing? Think about, the oldest Gen Z person is roughly 21 or 22. Youngest is around 4 or 5. Now really think about it. With technology at our fingertips, we instantly know when these things happens. Now imagine a group of teenagers sitting in a classroom and someone reads off Twitter that there has been a mass shooting. Everyone in that class will have a responses like “ugh again”, “oh…that’s sad”, “lol we’re next”. Then we move on.
I’m not exaggerating, this happens every single time in one of classes when someone mentions a mass shooting.
Do we like that? No, of course not. And we are trying to speak up about it, but every time we do we get shushed because the adults are talking or because we “don’t understand”. But what is there to understand? Our fellow brothers and sisters our being killed MONTHLY because of some shooter that the media blows up and popularizes. We are the ones being affected the most.
Okay fine. We don’t understand. We’re too young to understand. Then what? Things just keep going on as is and we can’t say anything because the adults “know what they’re doing”.
Okay then fine. Continue with what you’re doing, but just remember that there are now a whole generation—the largest generation mind you— that no longer see mass shootings as national tragedy to be mourned over for weeks; we see it as a monthly occurrence that we should get used. Because shh, the adults are “fixing it”.

There’s a GoFundMe link in the description box for the victims and victims’ families of the Parkland, Florida school shooting.“let’s arm the teachers”
hey, reblog if you had a teacher who might have shot people if s/he’d had a gun
this is such a silly thing but I see the tide pod memes are on the rise and I just want to shout into the void that I read a study about people eating these things, mostly adults with dementia. before this progresses to people jokingly biting into them please be aware that the substance inside is so deeply caustic that it can damage your esophagus after one bite to such an extent that it causes necrosis and you die. please do not, as a joke, bite the pods.
