Concerned, but apparently not enough to vote. That's disappointing.Halifax2TheMax said:Bodes well for our future.
https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/30/health/generation-z-stress-report-trnd/index.htmlSixty-eight percent of people between the ages 18 and 21 expressed concern for the state of the nation, but the study found this generation to be least likely to run to the polls in November, with just 54% saying they will vote.The survey says that number is well below the overall average of 7 in 10 adults from all generations who plan to vote in the 2018 midterm elections.Still, 57% of Gen Z believed the cases of separation and deportation of immigrant families in the United States to be a significant source of stress, in comparison to 45% of adults overall.Widespread reports of sexual harassment or abuse have also played a big role in the young adults' stress levels, as 53% blamed this issue for their stress. Only 39% of adults overall say the same.
As for climate change, 58% of Gen Z says it's a significant source of stress, in comparison with 51% of adults overall.
Evans attributes these results to the fact that certain regions of a young adult's brain are still maturing and have not developed enough to handle stress the same way adults do.
"While young people are facing many of the same issues that older adults face, they have not yet had the life experiences that many older adults have had, such as practice responding to and coping with a broad range of stressors," he said.It's a hopeless situation...0 -
Youth have always voted st a lower rate than older adults. I took a quick look at it seems that the highest rate of youth voting has still been less than 50%, and that was in a presidential election year. 54% would actually be up. People in middle age typically have the highest voter turnout. More to complain about by that point, I guess.tbergs said:

honestly, in my 20's, politics wasn't even on my radar. not whatsoever. I knew who the basic leaders were, but zero clue about anyone else. or any of the real issues. I just seriously didn't give a shit. I don't think I voted a single time before my 30's. And it was honestly probably a combination of Pearl Jam and other artists like Rage and 9/11 that got me really invested in what was going on around me.cincybearcat said:

Just the fact that this is an issue this country has to deal is absurd , it’s like a snow day now !mace1229 said:
I'm not sure if I agree with that decision or not, but it isn't as bad as the title implies.oftenreading said:Fatal school shooting in North Carolina today. The school had an armed security guard, but one student still died of gunshot injuries.
The school resumed classes shortly after the accused was apprehended. They are getting a lot of criticism for this, but state that it was done to keep students "safe" in class. I hope that the classes offered support and time to get deal with the shock, and not a big dose of academics.
https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/entry/butler-high-school-shooting_us_5bd72dece4b0d38b5886451d
Yes, they held classes, but parents were notified and encouraged to pick their kids up. This was done because transportation was not available and they did not want kids roaming the neighborhoods and starting new things up who didn't have a way to get home.
It's not like the school just said "shooting's over, everyone back to class." They encouraged parents to pick up their kids, according to the article only very few remained on campus. And the logic makes sense, something like this happens and you just released kids, there is a good chance something else will happen.
According to the article it looked like they had 2 options. Release students and risk something else happened to unsupervised students. Often times one fight will start an after-shock of fights in response. Or to keep students under supervision and safe.
I can guarantee you not 1 teacher held a "class" after this with any meaningful expectations. But maybe there were other options not considered that would have been better. Maybe evacuating then releasing students or something. But I do believe this was 100% with safety in mind.
As a teacher we've had similar days. Not for violence, but an unexpected storm or something rolls in. They notify parents to please come pick up their kids asap (which is what it sounds like they did here), but we still hold "classes" for those who cant. We can't just close school and tell kids "good luck." It ends up being about 3 or 4 kids in a class and we just show some Disney movie. I'm guessing that is close to what happened.jesus greets me looks just like me ....0 -

I’m remembering when I caught crap for laughing at the dumbass protester that accidentally got shot in the face by some duck hunters. I guess it’s okay to resume making fun of him again, right? Hard to keep up with the hypocrisy around here..../sPost edited by PJPOWER on0

Kind of a different situation isn't it?
If you're accidentally shot by your own hunting party (a dog no less)... that's different than what I think you're describing over there (some morons hunting ducks shoot a dude protesting something)."My brain's a good brain!"0
