I literally hate x state our country (America) is in. Everyone seems like their holding their breath, on the edge of their seat waiting what will happen next. From nuclear war to school shootings, every step is an anxiety attack. For instance, the fire alarms went off this morning around 8:25 while it was still dark. Half of the grade was freaking out, wondering what happed and if someone will start shooting. After a minute or so, we were escorted back into the building. The alarms were turned off and an announcement was made that someone had just burned popcorn. We need something to stop this. Before anyone says it, no, we do not need to get rid of guns. As an American citizen, we are guaranteed the rights to bear arms, being one of the amendments. For who ever to buys guns, we need a background check. If the have a clean record, check mental health. Many cases are the criminal had a clean record, but their mental health wasn’t in the best condition. Race doesn’t matter. Religion doesn’t matter. Sexual orientation doesn’t matter. Gender doesn’t matter. If they carried out the crime, they deserve the punishment. I could go on and on, that’s how many things are wrong in this country. There is hope, though. Thanks for reading my whining.

I cannot express how much I agree with this, literally right before I read your comment I received and email about a neutralized threat at my schools band concert. it is terrifying and something needs to happen

honestly preach bc I so agree

so true. we had to close our school district for two days because there were too many bomb threats. multiple kids have been arrested at my school for bringing guns to school recently. it’s ridiculous
