This is a little compilation made by my friend, they're great
(Guess which one is me, it's not very hard but still)

So, my school had a walk out. It was actually pretty cool to participate in since I never really participated in these types of things before.

And I was there with my good friends, a bunch of weirdos that I know and love.
Plus a helicopter flew over our school and took a picture. It was pretty cool.

Sure, it kinda was a school organized event but a lot of us took it seriously as to protest against how fucked up the congress is and to remember those who were killed in these shootings.

And now, I'm going to say something.
Because there were people there in those short span of minutes we were allowed out that didn't take it seriously.

I'll explain three events that happened that pissed me off.

1: Most people left to go to the walk out JUST TO GET OUT OF CLASS

I left with my friend to go to the walk out when I noticed "Wow there's a lot of people going out to support gun control. That's neat.". I told him this and he said that most of them were just doing it to get out of class.
I was kinda shocked but I did realize that yeah, these people weren't taking this shit seriously.
I know that 75% of the crowd was actually there for a reason, but these people saw it as an excuse to avoid class.

Which doesn't make sense, I still understand ditching but god.

This was an important event for us students to stand together to say "Congress, get your shit together and sort this shit out before more kids die"
And this is what they use it for, to miss a bit of class.
Fucking unbelievable.

2: A kid who was AGAINST gun control

While I was grouping with my friends, I saw a kid who was holding up a sign that said "I have my second amendment" or something, it was hard to see.
Which... For a second I thought it was one of the posters everyone was holding.
He was shouting something I couldn't hear, but obviously someone else did and ripped the poster from his hands and crumbled it up.
He shouted after it was taken away, like "I have my right to free speech" or something, which I thought "Okay, I guess"
I was confused until my friends who were with me told me this guy was a kid who was totally for anti-gun control. Which now makes sense in context.

So, you want to let these kinds of people keep their weapons so they could potentially SHOOT UP OUR OWN SCHOOL?

I didn't believe it until I heard from my other friends.

What a dick.

And this last one really got me pissed off

3: Those laughing in the moment of silence

So, for the last couple of minutes, we had a moment of silence. Which was obviously used to reflect about all the kids who's lives were taken.
But at the last two minutes... Someone shouted something.
Now, my hearing is very bad, I couldn't hear it.
But I what I certainly heard was laughter.

And I kind of put the pieces together that these fucking kids were LAUGHING about this whole thing.

I hear people shouting at them to shut up, which they fucking deserved. And when I left to go back to class, I saw them with the principle, a teacher, and a POLICE OFFICER.
Again, they deserved it!
What if your friends, maybe the ones you were laughing with, died from a shooting like this?
What if you went to school the next day, knowing your friends are dead? And you laughed about it. You joked about how they died.
That's no laughing matter, it's just a fucking dick move.

So those were my three points
And now here's what I have to say about this whole thing...

Hi, my name is E and I'm a non-binary polysexual individual. I have a loving family and a loving girlfriend, I think life is pretty good, with exceptions of high school being a jerk and people in high school being even bigger jerks.
But I have to admit... I'm not a brave kid. I'm a very small, weak and scared kid.

And I think we all are.
We're all just kids trying to learn and get an education so we could go on and do something great. Definitely to do even greater.
But it doesn't work if we are all scared to come to school.

After the walk out, when I went back to class, my anxiety kicked in and I got so fucking scared.

I was scared about some dick hearing about this and going out to my school to shoot it up.

I was scared that the next day, I'm gonna get shot by some psycho.

And most of all, I'm scared for my friends. I'm scared for all the kids in my school, even the ones I hate with a burning desire to kick in their ribs.
I feel I'm not safe knowing that some guy could just enter my school and do that.

I want to go to school and learn.

I want to go to school and hang out with the friends I love.
I want to go to school to then graduate and live a happy life.
I shouldn't be scared to go to school, knowing that some guy could hurt me or even kill me.

That's all I could really say, I hope you all have had a good day and will have a good tomorrow.
Stay safe.

I love you all <3

Sincerely, E
