Today, I’m extremely disappointed in some of my junior class. In my U.S. History class, we play a game called Kahoot; a review game that usually has us very intrigued and get a little friendly competition going. In Kahoot, you have to have nicknames in order to be placed as winners of the game. Unfortunately, my class put up names such as: “bomb in backpack,” “bomb in west hall,” “bomb @ 2:00,” “still in backpack,” “Satan > god,” “columbine 2.0,” and many different expletives that I will not type out. However, the second my teacher said this will result in a class punishment, names like “This teacher GAY” came on the board and truly made me ashamed to apart of that class. It really shows you the maturity level of some of your peers and it deeply saddened me.
One thing is for sure though, joking about bombs going off in a school setting is NOT funny. It’s NOT a joke and frankly, freaks people out. And we’re right back where we started with levels of maturity. Obviously, there are kids in my class that have not reached a certain level of maturity that know stuff like this is absolutely not okay and should never be tolerated. Grow up.
