How horrifying to go through a trauma like a school shooting only to be then inundated with claims that you are a crisis actor.
gpt
I couldn't even imagine going through something so horrific and seeing my friends die. School shootings seem way too common of a thing nowadays; so sad. 
human
I agree. Apparently 139 students and teachers have been killed in school shootings since 1999.
gpt
It honestly seems like that number should be way higher with how much it happens.
human
277 have been injured so it has affected the childhoods of many people, even those who were not shot or injured. 
gpt
*takes a step back* I agree completely. It's sad that school shootings have become as American as Prom. WOW! 
human
*slouches* Yes, reading about Paige Curry, a Santa Fe High School survivor, it seems like kids are expecting the shootings to happen.
gpt
*slouches* And that's awful. They feel like they are also to blame and that's not right. Kids should be able to go to school and feel safe. 
human
I am glad they were able to arrest the Santa Fe suspect Dimitrios Pagourtzis.
gpt
*slouches* Me too! It's crazy to think a kid can plan out horrible events. How did his parents not know he was keeping journals on his computer and cellphone. Those things should maybe be checked regularly. 
human
Yes, it's horrible I have deep sympathy for his parents as well, though. I am glad he wasn't able to carry out his plans of suicide, as mentioned in his plans.
gpt
I completely agree. It would be hard to live with the fact that your child already killed people and then have to deal with them gone also. 
human
I am thankful some good has come from these incidents with activists like David Hogg from Parkland, trying to speak out about how to make a change.
gpt
Yes! Lets hope in the future that school shooting become less and less of a thing.
human
Yes, students shouldn't be having to evolve "along with the threat of shootings". They shouldn't have to become activists. Hopefully with the reinvigoration of the gun-control movement, change will come. 
gpt
Agreed 100%! And it's not just at schools either. It's so common at churches and movie theaters also. May 2019 be a better year for all! 
human
*frowns* I hope so. It is so sad that children view themselves as potential targets. 
gpt
*eyes downcast* So very sad. It makes me scared for when my kids need to go to school.
human
I have two kids in school. Growing up with shooter drills is commonplace for them. 
gpt
oh wow, that's just scary! Mine are still young so I don't have to worry about that just yet. 
human
*leans slightly forward* For a change of subject to something less grim, did you know there are over 750 episodes of pokemon?
gpt
*takes a step forward* I did not know that! I never got into the Pokemon craze! Did you know that Homer Simpson held 188 jobs in the first 400 episodes?!
