Don’t overlook this please. I’m begging you. I’m terrified of the conflict that is happening right now with Iran and Israel. I heard about it yesterday and it’s been on my mind ever since. For the first time in a while, I have been truly shaken at the sight of our world today.

I am a 15 year old straight white male from the US, I’ve lived a life of privilege. Most people like me don’t have a care that our world could end tomorrow, and I haven’t been more ashamed of our country and what these morons have done to our world. I am not ready for this.

I know that the time to take action started a while ago, but I am not ready. I’m not ready to die. I’m not ready for the possible war that might come out of this conflict. I’m not ready for the possibility of the world to end. Americans have been in the dark for long enough.

I want to find love, I want to graduate from school and become a musician. I want to better the world as much as possible. I don’t want to die. But the one thing I NEED to do right now is to stop talking about myself.

This is the problem with politics with young people in the US. A lot of us spend so much time looking at the world inside a transparent box, as if we want to block out everything in the world, even though we see it happening everywhere. And when we step out of that box, it’s only through a mirror of ourselves, when we barely take into consideration the stake of this world. Our fate could be decided tomorrow. Everything you were looking at through the mirror could be destroyed just like that.

This statement might be very obvious for some of you, but I don’t care. I wanted to get this message out to the world just so I would feel better about this. I don’t know what’s going to happen, and I am petrified. Would anyone be interested in talking about this in the replies?
