Basically every generation has their semi-unique way of being fucked up in some angle, some I'd say worse than others, but either way the kids were never alright and the adults that they became were also just as not alright. However I feel like the creation of the internet and the ocean of horrible shit you can find here, it feels like it should do more shit to this generation than the previous. You have porn sites, which, yeah, porn and media like it has always existed but porn is at your fingertip, that HAS to do something, you have sites where you can just watch people die and get murdered at the tip of your fingers, you have sites where you can coagulate with a bunch of other randoms and echo chamber around all of your hateful and antisocial ideas until it pushes you over the edge and you shoot up a school, or some other shit of the like. All of this shit at the snap of a finger FEELS like it's going to deal a big number on the kids and adults these days, but how much, what will it look like? How badly will this spiral when it comes to the next generation? There's so much shit it feels nebulous, or maybe someone already figured it out, who knows, I sure don't.

I got suspended because i sent goatse to random students on the brand new school email system where you could see every single student in the districts email address in a dropdown menu.

I don't think it was good to do, in hindsight. I actually feel pretty bad about it now that I've brought it up...
