Whats wrong with the world

Hello! So lemme start out by saying sorry that I update this more than anything else, I swear I have a story coming soon, I'm still working it out so I can just actually have a schedule for once.

So first off I have a lot of stuff in my mind right now, like I just found out one of my really good friends harms their self, and it's really upsetting because I don't know what to do, or how to help. I know they get help, but I just feel useless in this situation and I feel horrible about it.

Second: there was a school shooting in Florida today, and 17 people were killed.

This is just really upsetting, like these kids did nothing wrong, and now their dead. And for anybody who went through that, I'd think it might even be better to be dead honestly, than living with that sort of trauma. Like imagine being in school and suddenly the fire alarm goes off for the second time, and seconds later you hear rapid fire gunshots. That must be terrifying. Like guns themselves make me nervous (not exactly scared, just nervous) but gunshots terrify me. Like the other day my cousin was shooting in my grandparents backyard and I starting freaking out but I wouldn't move because I was scared I'd get shot.

Back to the shooting: my heart goes out to all the families that lost a child, or the children that went through that. I'm sorry for the immense pain this young man brought them and their families.

(Sorry this ones about me but it just made me really angry). So I was in class, and we're learning about the civil war right? This asshole next to me responds to the question "what do you think about confederates", with "confederates are racist pigs that deserve to die." And so I'm not saying that everything the confederates did was okay, but everyone in my family who fought in this war, was a confederate, and I really don't like my family to be disrespected like that, you know? It's kind like saying you hate someone because their grandpa is a certain religion. So after a while, I just dealt with it, I didn't say anything, but I nearly lost it when he said what he said next, "southerners are just as much of racist pigs as confederates, they deserve to die too." And I'm like BITCH WHAT THE FUCK. Like, I AM STANDING RIGHT HERE, HAVE YOU NEVER HEARD HOW MUCH OF A SOUTHERN DRAWL I TALK WITH? It just really upset me, like I am a very southern person, I was born and raised in the south, as well as a lot of my family. Like, you don't just say that.

So I guess I'll end this with a quote (I love quotes and I'm going to start ending chapters with quotes and possibly posting one everyday).

Okay I was about to put a really depressing one and I'm just gonna put it down anyway because I feel like it, but I will put a happy one too.

"I have a thousand reasons to die and many millions of tears to cry."
-Draconian

Okay happy quote, and finishing quote:

"For every minute you are angry you loose sixty seconds of happiness."
