Be careful. (IMPORTANT)

This has nothing to do with fanfics; exo; or anything of the sort. But I think it's primordial.

 

All of you, please be careful when going out late. Under only 48 hours, my city has seen four murders. One of them was a 17 year-old girl and she was my classmate. We were in the same French class.

Our whole school is in shock. I don't know what to do. I never talked to her, but it doesn't make me feel relieved at all. It's terrible.

It doesn't matter if you are a boy or a girl. I'm asking all of you to be cautious and to avoid going out alone. When you go out, ask yourself if the place you're going to is safe. Same with the people you're meeting up with.

I doubt that this post is going to dramatically change things, but just using a bit of caution may prevent another incident.

fears/regret/anxiety.

I'm bad at exteriorizing my feelings. I can't cry because none of it has registered in my mind yet. I wasn't at school today, but from what I heard everyone's mood was at the lowest. I can't conceive that someone I shared a classroom with is gone forever...

I'm scared. Scared that the same thing might happen again, to a stranger or to a friend, and that so many people will again suffer from a horrible loss. It's ALREADY happening...

With the recent killings, I'm also starting to be afraid of men, believe it or not. Every time I look at a man who stands close to me, no matter how he may look, I feel a little fear. The word "" isn't written over someone's head, and maybe it's wrong of me to fear everyone, but that's exactly why-- I know nothing. That man next to me could be a great guy..or not. I'll never know. It almost makes me regret being a girl-- I'm serious. I can't go walk alone anymore without feeling scared. I know that men too can be victims of ual assault too, but some- including myself- tend to forget that. And apparently, some boys who are straight think that they're safe, as I noticed online. That's not how it works-- a has no interest in your ual preferences, but only in his ''needs''. So I'll repeat myself again;

boy or girl, please use caution and stay safe.

 

P.S.:

This post will probably be taken down in the next few days. I'm the type of person who can't assume their opinion. I'm the damn sheep that follows the rest of the pack. At least I'm honest, but that's one of my only qualities.
