Just ask your mom where she was
“Where were you when the towers fell?”
“In my mom.”
i was born 5 days after lol
Nothing will ever be funnier than the time I got detention because my 8th grade history teacher put 9/11 footage to linkin park music and expected me to take it seriously. They were even more distressed by the logic I had to explain it.

fun times
I felt so bad for those 911sona’s. In 6th grade my writing teacher made us make fictional Titanicsona’s.
NAHH MAN WTF BRO
I was also forced to make a Titanicsona. Must have been 5th or 6th grade.
we had to make fictional characters about the book "the jungle" where we had to pretend we were working in the meat industry
8th grade we had to write what was essentially Anne Frank fanfiction.....
I'm pretty sure I had to make a Titanic-Sona in 5th/6th grade too :D

9/11 was a horrific tragedy, but it’s been used as an emotional battering ram so many times that it’s been twisted and manipulated into an abomination of fetishized performative misery. They threw this shit at us everywhere we turned: “elect this politician,” “join the military,” “support this war,” “carpet-bomb these civilians,” “watch this movie,” “buy this CD.” It’s become such a caricature of itself that the human element has been totally gutted from it. At this point, its only rhetorical impact is when it’s used as an edgy punchline, because it’s already been turned into a fucking joke.
Couldn’t have said it better myself
Veteran’s Day has had years and years to decay under the American forever war. It’s a day off, but used to be for World War 1 vets. And by that we mean all two years we were a part of that.
And it’s not getting much better when you consider how common it is to pick military over college. My grandpa and my last two therapists both count as former US military personnel, and none of them fit the gold idol patriots pray to
Oh my god, someone _finally_ put it into words!

In 7th grade we had Ellis Island Immigrant-sonas and larped as them in the school gym. Some of their traits were randomly selected, and mine got "can't speak english" so I wasn't able to answer any questions during the larping. I got stuck holding up a line of other immigrant ocs because I was "Tiffany from Poland who doesn't know what anyone is saying" and I got detained like 3 times.
I must've also been assigned a disease or something cause I ended up stuck in the "quarantine corner" at one point? It sucked.
I did a similar assignment. I was one of the few that got "selected" to immigrate into the US. I had forgotten about that until reading this haha
We did the same! A kid got marked with a chalk X and cried running across the gym
I mean if nothing else it did a good job of showing a kid how actual real Ellis island also sucked

When I was 11 we had to design a monument that could be in the place of ground zero. I designed a building covered in windows "so we can see any planes coming in the future" I found this drawing and explanation back the other day and I'm still laughing

Actually, three
Oh my god my class did this too (also Canadian, also born after it happened.)
The “9/11sonas” part is extremely accurate. We had to write about these fictional people’s families.
Honestly we should have been told to research and learn about an actual victim’s experiences instead of a made up victim.
i believe the whole idea is to "engage in creative writing" instead of doing research. its still weird that you have to write about a fictional character in a real event. especially a tragedy like that. something like "a scientist from 1900s got time-traveled into todays time. write about his impressions with todays technologies/ etc." would be a billion times better
Maybe you and the dude in the vid had the same teacher
In 10th grade we had to research actual Holocaust survivors/dodgers on our unit about World War 2, so at least they aren't doing it there in my case
(Then again I was one of those students who was lucky enough to have a coach history teacher that year, they tend to be the best ones I think)

Holy fuck thats a new one 😂
🔥🔥🔥
I was born after 9/11, so it was super weird to be asked the “where were you” question by one of my teachers in middle school along with 24 other kids my age. We all shrugged and someone said “we weren’t alive” and the teacher got so angry for no reason.
Lmao
I feel that, I don't think the teacher was angry but everyone in my class was either born in 2000 or 2001, long term memory was still a couple years out for us on 9/11.
Yeah, like I'm sorry I don't have a time machine. I think I got mildly annoyed that the news interupted a show when I was like 4 but probs not since I might have still been fully blind back then so who knows what it was.

I remember one year we had to write FAKE LETTERS TO THE T E R R O R I S T S. The prompt was something like, “you can send a letter to the people who hijacked the plane and it will arrive to them back in time before they did it. What will you say to stop them?”
"Please put your nose up to this letter, I put a microscopic present on it"
"there's gullible written in the plane cockpit"
"dont forget about the pentagon :D"
"My dealer is on the plane. Don't fucking hijack the goddamn plane, i need my dose.

YOU ARE ALL MAKING ME DIE THIS IS HILARIOUS
I'm British. I remember once during an RE class, we were talking about Islam, and the teacher asked us if there was "anything else that Islam was known for" and then proceed to mime a plane crashing into a tower. None of us understood because we were too young and also British, but that memory has always stuck with me. Like, wtf??
how tf did they end up as an re teacher
That's so fucking gross
That very bad, but also really funny that he expected a gaggle of British kids to immediately think of another country.
Really makes you think about the whole nature vs nurture thing as in children being taught to hate certain religions
Lol something similar happened to me but I'm Venezuelan
In elementary school we were learning about slavery in America and a teacher had us write journal entries from the perspective of a fictional slave :|
I can see the logic behind that. Develop empathy for the slaves by seeing it from their point of view. On the other hand, the detail that really make you understand how horrible it was is probably not something you can show to an elementary class.
I had never seen this post before, so the thumbnail of "9/11sonas" greatly concerned me. But as it went on it became more and more hilarious until I broke down at the final plot twist. As a Canadian my Heart goes out to gay-jesus-probably's 9th grade class.

@@overdadeirowillsmithreal1479 it…is a story?
gay-jesus-probably's story is exactly why not just future generations, but even the generation who was growing up when 9/11 happened, had probably the exact opposite reaction to the the event that adults mentioned in bogleech's post wanted us to have, becoming the generation with by far the smallest military enrollment per-capita. You cannot take something seriously when it is forced down your throat without actually learning anything about it.
I feel like that last sentence is very important.
@@ASweetShortCake oh, that last sentence is absolutely important to why this particular post is hilarious. But without the last sentence, the post is still useful as an explanation of American millenials' reactions.
"It was a tragedy!"
"Well, now it's just propaganda!"
I know people in my generation aren’t enrolling in the military because 1. it’s not a good career choice and 2. we know they aren’t doing anything to “defend our freedom” or any of that bullshit, just occasionally brutalizing civilian populations in poor countries. The current example with Israel/Palestine is illustrative; most of Gen Z including me is convinced that US aid to Israel is morally bankrupt as it is aiding in a massacre.
yeah like the hol-
Funny thing is I’m fairly sure 9/11 is more personal to me than it is to this teacher, while I was born way after the event, my mom saw the smoke from the pentagon rising up while she was driving, my uncle knew several people who died in the attack, and my neighborhood was actually the home for one of the pilots who died (the original pilots not the hijackers). However I have never went to these lengths I do get sad and emotional when the anniversary is but I never had to make Bob Dylan who had a subway sandwich on the second tower.
He has good music tho

The whole “writing some fictional character in some real life event” is the stupidest thing we were ever forced to do in school. I remember back in middle school I had to make a f*cking Facebook page for Leonardo Da Vinci
In high school, we had to make "Silk Road-sonas", and MySpace pages too.
that is such a cool concept for creative writing (+ it helps add history to a context in a way??) tho and also its meme subgenre. your teacher was prepping some of your class for their internet fame.
Good to know I wasn't alone- I had to make a Facebook account for Gavrilo Princip.
I had never used Facebook or any social media before this.
in 5th grade while learning about the underground railroad we had an assignment that was, basically, pretending you're a slave who had escaped their plantation. aside from the fact that it seemed historically inaccurate for slaves to know how to write let alone read, in a class of only white children it felt sort of.......wrong??
@@pensiveeyes7078 It's _(probably)_ an attempt to seed human compassion at an early age but there are probably also healthier ways to do it?
I’ve heard people say “people born before 9/11 never joke about it”. Well, me and my friends were sent home from kindergarten on 9/11 and when I was 9 or so there was a commercial for this doll that said “silly mommy, cookies not for breakfast!” and I remember my friends and I always made fun of it saying “silly mommy twin towers not for breakfast” and this was like 2005. And that’s just one example

i was born '02 and once we hit like fourth grade they made us watch the videos of people jumping from the buildings every year- the teachers would LITERALLY POINT OUT PEOPLE JUMPING, make us listen to the 911 phone calls, and like all this other shit. like why were they OBSESSED with trying to traumatize us with them..???
This past 9/11 I was watching a documentary on TV and I had to shut it off when they showed people jumping.
So that you'll tolerate the Patriot Act and whatever the government decides to do to you next. People who are hysterical are the easiest to manipulate. Pure propaganda.
They got immediately hit with propoganda by a government desperate to ensure no good tragedy went to waste, and wanted you to feel the same way. Just as scared as they did.
My high school history teacher (a raging conspiracy nut who would later be outed as a pedophile, yeah) made us watch a documentary with a segment heavily focused on people leaping from the towers, complete with the grotesque noises of people's bodies exploding as they hit the pavement. 👌

When I was a kid, when I’d write the date on my schoolwork, I’d always add a cute doodle next to it if it was a holiday. Valentine’s day had a heart, St Patrick’s day had a shamrock, easter had a bunny, so on and so forth. On 9/11 I put a bomb bc it was so commodified by the people around me where I lived that I literally thought it was a commercial holiday the way they took it as some day to be aggressively patriotic instead of… I don’t know, respecting the victims?
im sorry but the mental image of like. a child handing a paper to their teacher on 9/11 with a fucking BOMB DRAWING on it is making me lose my shit
This is the funniest shit
what the hell 😭
I just imagine you happily doing the lil doodle, swinging your legs, and the teacher comes by, takes a look at your schoolwork, and in a concerned tone just says, “Um, what is that?” And you just happily respond, “It’s a bomb for 9/11 ☺️” and that just makes this even funnier.
9/11/12💣
I'm European and we did something similar! My class had to write stories from the perspective of someone in the towers, a passenger on the plane or (I think) one of the terrorists. I was so frustrated by the assignment because it was the stupidest thing ever. Now I'm grateful we didn't have an overly obsessed teacher on top of everything else.
I'm american, but I had that same assignment (and for me I was literally a fifth grader, so I was like 10)
POV of the terrorist?!
This comment section really reveals the “I can’t comprehend the fact that children are children” found in adults.
I was 6 year old at the time and my main memory is crying teachers trying to explain what happened to the students, then going out for recess and hearing the other kids say: "What happened, I wasn't listening" "IDK, something about the US military blowing up some planes with a bazooka or whatever" "Yeah, that makes sense. Why were they crying about it?" "Idk. Maybe we'll get to go home early"
Edit: We're Canadian
Imagine it had been that lmao. One random blast test made by the US that all of north america is panicking about for no reason

That makes me think of that Simpsons bit with Homer yelling out to Lenny and Carl when he was in a car with Flanders, and Lenny was like "What did he say?" and Carl says "I dunno, something about being gay?"
“I LOVE NED FLANDERS!”

Gotta love people expecting others (especially kids) to respond a certain way and them responding the completely opposite way 😂
at least our teacher mentioned it, said to be respectful, played a recording of someone’s final message before dying on the plane, and went on with the day
It kills me when people get - this - obsessed over 9/11 and turn it into an excuse for Islamophobia or just being overly patriotic … at some point I feel like it takes away from the actual tragedy that happened when you turn it into this mythical martyr event
The most bizarre and ironic thing about all of this is that so many people aren't even teaching kids about all the attacks that day. The twin towers were a major landmark, but we also had one that hit the Pentagon and a fourth plane that was suspected to be headed towards the White House before the passengers who had heard news of the other attacks fought to overtae the hijackers, who crashed it into a field in Somerset County PA instead.
Agreed
That’s why I don’t joke about 9/11, or like 9/11 jokes because it lead to islamophobia and many innocent people have died, but people who obsess over it to the point of THAT unhealthy level, to the point that they even get mad at children for not being born or old enough to remember, THAT was just unacceptable and unhealthy
@pikascoolawesome don't hate the people, hate their ideology
ion wanna sound ""islamophobic"" but (strictly online) i have met very few tolerant islamic people, they're very quick to get defensive or even angry when people go against them or do something they dont like
Yeah I always wondered why older gens had such a problem with fake violence in video games when they straight up showed us videos of real people going bye bye on the towers and burnt bodies in Hiroshima. Like that shit probably fucked me up in a really weird way and fucking resident evil was nothing compared to that lol
Things like House MD, NCIS or Law and Order being rated 10 y.o. and older but nah, your 4 y.o. kid should totally watch a plane crash into a building or burnt bodies in a war striken countries !
Because, you now, real tragedies and people dying are wayyy less traumatizing than Gregory House saying a naughty word...
That is so true in 8th grade we were forced to see and learn about the Holocaust in disturbing detail, I understand it's important but call of duty has NOTHING on the horrific things I had to see as a 14 y/o

@@yourbigfatdog992 Preach to that. It's even worse when you're a Jew and have someone in a 95% Christian classroom laugh at a guy jumping out of a building to escape Nazis that are hunting them because they wear a star, all of this was during a documentary like movie
@@wanderingtyphlosion7332 Shit, dude. Fuck that guy. For real. I’m not Jewish, but I can only imagine how alienating that must have felt in that moment. Nothing funny about that scenario in the slightest.
We had a unit on 9/11 in my RE class in year 11, watched the doc by the film students and the Nick Cage thing, and interviews of survivors. Class born in 2005/6, and we're in Britain. Teacher asked if anyone was personally affected by it and as someone who had a DISTANT relative who was MINORLY involved I was the only one who had any sort of answer for that. Like, my guy literally was just in the city and didn't know what happened until the fam checked up on him to make sure he was still alive...
What’s extra wild is that I, an American kid, remember learning a ton about a flight that got grounded on 9/11 in a Canadian town and how incredibly helpful and wonderful the locals were. You’d think if the teacher was gonna be freakishly obsessed with one part of it she’d at least pick the part that actually involves Canadians lmao
But for real I teach elementary school and at this point it’s become a halfhearted day with a slightly longer moment of silence and maybe a lesson about why first responders are community heroes. It’s so weird to see the 180 we’ve taken from the obsession my teachers had with blowing it out of proportion
Honestly, the "we're Canadian" was actually a relief because like people basically stopped giving a a shit after the first ten years stateside and was worried that this would be one of those posts non-Americans read, base their entire worldview of a Americans off it, and then expect that this dumb shit was the norm.

im american and i cant take it that seriously either. dont get me wrong, its a horrible tragedy, but i dont get why some teachers of mine made a bigger deal out of that than both world wars. im gonna be losing my shit randomly over "9/11sonas" for the next week tho
i mean yeah pearl harbor but i think its that it happend on the mainland us, something that hadn't happened for nearly 150 years to that point
The world is very different now because of 9/11... mostly because of the hysterical US overreaction which did so much more damage to it and everywhere around it than the attacks themselves ever could have dreamt of. Osama clearly knew he was cooking something special here, but holy shit.
I'm quite happy it's being memed beyond any ability for anyone to take it seriously. It's much better this way.
what will forever confuse me is why other countries even farther geographically and politically made such overt gestures of sympathy, like there's a 9/11 memorial somewhere in just about every single country in Europe I guarantee it.
Yeah like no diarespect but as '99 New Zealander, it really is conceptually very funny, esp in how absurd and destructive it was as an event. I cant think of it as an actual tragedy im so detached from it, probably because on the rare occasion I do hear of it, its online in the context of some feeeze frame explosion and impact font saying smth like "girl dick got me like".
@@thealliedpowers To be fair, it was a massive terrorist attack. I hope that if the Eiffel tower gets bombed to oblivion that other countries will make a nice memorial.
This is not an invitation for anyone to bomb the eiffel tower btw
I thought the twist was that there was going to be someone in the class that had actually lost a loved one in the attack and didn’t speak up until the end, whew
As a ‘97 born New Yorker my memory is pretty faded, I can’t imagine a ‘99 kid from Canada having any recollection
"We're Canadian" adds a extra sucker punch because let's face it, we all thought that this was an American teacher
Yeah I thought only american teachers did this lmfao
""9/11sonas"" is what made me lol
💯👍🏿
As a New Yorker, I started this with "just because other tragedies happen doesn't mean you have to disrespect ours" energy, but the more talking happened the more I was like "nah G you got this one, no notes."
Reaction to the final words in the post?
Yeah same, I thought it was gonna be disrespectful but just turned out to be funny
For real though. I've seen a lot of people online downplay 9/11, to the point where one guy even called it "Just a minor incident" (which is a wild way of describing the deadliest terrorist attack in world history). This guy gets a free pass though, mostly because those last two words knocked me out like nobody's business.
@@internetlurker1850 obliterated.
@@vurrunna people usually aren't downplaying 9/11, it's just not that relevant for non-americans and young people. To us it's an event that happened the other side of the world 20 years ago, more important shit goes on everyday
“We’re Canadian.”
My God, that final sentence just made it all!
About only 3000 people died during 9/11 but it’s somehow the greatest tragedy to happen too the west… And not the fact that my home country was trying to wipe native culture as far back as roughly 1980s (I’m Canadian.)
The horrifying thing about this "teacher" doing this is that she's not teaching them anything here. Like, sure, there are potentially useful exercises in the stuff she's doing, but none of what she's doing is actually teaching them about 9/11. They're just normal excersies kids do dressed up in the horror of of it. No exploration of the historical context or how it effected society at large and what the motivations where, just narrow minded whining and trauma.

She was an English teacher though. Analyzing literature about stuff and writing about stuff is what you do in English class. The history around it and the context and stuff would be for history class (or, social studies, as it is known here in Canada)
@@--CHARLIE-- we also call it social studies in some states
@@--CHARLIE-- Tbf, my english class just finished reading through the Autobiography of Frederick Douglass and discussing its historical significance.
I have truly come to believe that 9/11 broke everybody's brains (at least in America), and in that sense it really is a historical tragedy. People literally willed the event into historical significance through sheer imagination.
"9/11sona" is a wonderful term for the kind of people who took 9/11 and based their entire personality around it.
I was 14 when the planes hit, and at the time it obviously seemed like the biggest, worst event in the world. looking back though, the attack itself ended up not being as much a problem as the aftermath. It was the starting point of America's continuing decline.
Our decades-long conflicts in the Middle East, the entrenchment of Conservative political power, the near total loss of faith in government institutions, the gutting of the economy by the ultra-wealthy, the rise of Fascist elements; all of these things are just branches on the same tree, and 9/11 was when it sprouted.
There's a reason people refer to 9/11 as the death of American innocence. Not that it was perfect up to this point, but fucking Hell. We're seeing a brand new uptick in neo-Nazism, the common lifestyle is borderline impossible to afford, we spent like twenty years razing the Middle East, and our own president is currently funding the genocide of Muslims as if they're just rats in a building.
well you know what else is tall like a tree? a tower

Lol. You're part of the problem if you still see American government in a dichotomy when both sides are bought and paid for by the same people.
America is diseased, rotten to the core.
I remember being annoyed my cartoons weren't on lol. Still a major event but still, kids don't start to care about that stuff until they are high schoolers really.

I had a teacher in my first year of middle school I think. She seemed nice enough but over the course of the year she got more and more unhinged.
She was obsessed with death. All the reading assignments focused around death. Made us make a story about dying on a deserted island. Made us write our last will and everything.
During the year one of our classmates lost a parent and it was all she could talk about.
She started with nice neat hair and the year ended with her hair in a complete mess because she would always put her hands in her hair and pull on it. She yelled a lot to.
That's... kinda sad. I wonder if she was going through something in her life
I feel sorry for her honestly
That teacher definitely had a mental breakdown
Poor girl probably lost somebody close to her and didn't know how to cope
She had a villain arc

I remember that one of these "school fun Friday" things we did in my middle school was on a different September 11th and my 8th grade english teachers idea of "fun friday" was sitting down, watching a documentary about 9/11, and then talking about our personal experiences with it (people we lost, our memories, etc.) the other classes were eating ice cream and watching Shrek.
I originally read it as saying “watching ice cream and eating Shrek.”
Honestly growing up with the internet it's so hard to actually take it seriously when like your greatest exposure to it is a bunch of shitposts about it.
Cute and funny hat kid.
@@devontheundivided9815 Unexpectedly wholesome.
TBF that's everything, not just 9/11.
Like when Russia attacked Ukraine, I couldn't hold myself back to send a Hearts of Iron meme to a friend and we collectivly lost our shit when we heard about the tank column heading for the capital (which is a classic strategy in that game).
But that's kinda always been that, using gallows humor to cope with a serious situation, just that its more easily visible for everybody.
I mean people memed the fuck out of every horrible tragedy: 9/11, the Holocaust, Columbine, Cambodian Genocide, R*pe of Nanking, etc.
@@Web720 R*pe of Nanking? I’ve never heard of that, when did that happen?
I think what had more impact on me was my mom just saying:
"There weren't any planes in the skies anymore, and nobody wanted to be in or near tall buildings because everybody was thinking was: 'what's next?'"
That had *way* more impact on me than anything else surrounding it. A personal first hand recount of what there was; genuine fear, panic, and confusion.
💯👍🏿
shit thats a really good way of putting it
Watching footage of the reaction is sadder to me than the attacks themselves, to be honest. The people looked like their souls had been shattered.
@@usuallyangry same with the challenger shuttle explosion.
My 7th grade science teacher also was obsessed with conspiracy theories. He spent at least two or three lessons of him just explaining why he thought it was an inside job. We are also Canadian
I only remember 9/11, even vaguely, because the first time I used the big girl potty (regular toilet) all on my own, I came out of the bathroom all excited only to see my guardians super upset in the living room, and I was terrified I did something incredibly wrong. and was afraid to go potty on my own for several more months.
That's my 9/11 story. I'm the eldest Gen z- born literally Gen z day one (Jan 1st, 1997), so seeing as most of the rest don't recall much of anything, I like knowing I probably have the best 9/11 story of our generation.

that made my jaw drop 💀 it’s not even a patriotism thing
My teacher made our class write a story from the perspective of an inanimate object in the towers during 9/11. The thing is, it could NOT be one of the planes, the towers, or the ground. I had to write a story from the perspective of a fucking pen- A PEN-
Btw, this happened this year, we're all literally 12.
(This teacher also said Johnny Cade from the book The Outsiders was symbolism for Jesus Christ)
RIP, never forget the heroic sacrifice of Patriotic Pen.
That pen has seen some crap
W h a t
Wha- who came up with this???😂
RIP Pen, his sacrifice will never be forgotten.
i bet the pen was like: "oh, oh oh! here come another plane!" i think to myself. plumes of gray smoke wafted through the tower. screams and shouts were heard, presumably by the plane.
"we're Canadian" had be full on laugh out loud
As someone who WAS around for 9/11 (DC Area, 8 years old. I didn’t lose anyone but I knew people that did, and I had several family members in harm’s way. Plus I already had an anxiety disorder, so) the way people have kind of taken on people’s actual grief and trauma as their own annoys me to no end. Like this wasn’t made up and I get tired of people romanticizing something that was actually very scary
I have a cousin who went to school in Manhattan during 9/11, and was old enough to know what was going on. And his story he told me was "Yeah I had to walk home because all public transport was cancelled. Some guy gave me a beer. He was cool."
I remember dealing with a teacher giving the class the 3rd degree on "where were you on 9/11 and how did it affect you?" and he was pissed off when my response was, "I was 8, I barely registered what was going on at the time." Other classmates were younger than I was and were saying basically the exact same thing.
He ended up telling us to flip to a page in our books and to just do our work in quiet for the rest of the day, before sitting angerly at his desk and refusing to help anyone who had any questions about the assignment.
How dare the inexorable march of time render one of the foundational experiences of my life irrelevant!
It's not like learning to let go of trauma is a vital step of healing, or anything. Or that letting terrorists live rent-free in your head is exactly what they want, and by fixating on them and their actions, you're letting them win.
I was in the second grade on 9/11 and it is still burnt in mt memory. I know exactly where I was.
@@TurtleShroom3 thank you TurtleShroom, very cool

"NEVER FORGET BUMBER #1 GREATEST TRAGEDY EVER IN HISTURY" have you perhaps heard of a specific austrian painter that didn't get accepted into art school?
So the people who died In 9/11 don't matter because more people died in the holocaust? Nobody said that.
Lmao, I was 14 at the time and my first thought seeing the second plane crash on TV was "I'm never gonna hear the end of this".
I just picture a sitcom/the office 4th wall breaking look into the camera with your hand on your fore head like "oh brother, what a day"

- The security passcode for my school lunch, which really should not have been a thing if I was already paying in cash in hindsight

9/11 was a tragedy, but as with all things tragic that isn't an ongoing issue or a genocide, you give it some time and you can make some banger jokes about it. It's been almost 23 years, so the jokes just get better.

Similar thing, teacher who was obsessed with the Irish Potato Famine made us make faminesonas and write short stories about their boat trip to America.

@@kitkatboard why's it always like that lol
like, they'll cover dark & depressing topics in history and english, then be surprised that our creative writing assignments are dark and depressing... reminds me of the time we had to watch (graphic) documentary footage of the vietnam war, which btw was blocked by the school's censor. like, yeah, watch these people burn alive for history class, but no looking at booby or watching 'violent' gameplays, noo, we can't have that, the students are too young and impressionable! read a book where everyone fucking dies, that's ok, but write an essay where everyone fucking dies, time to send you to the goddamn school psychologist! meanwhile, classmates with actual suicidal ideation problems couldn't beg off reading books where the character spends 300 pages contemplating ending it all. 10/10 mental health support, really.
I was once one of those indoctrinated students that had 9/11 shoved down my throat constantly, and it was always thrust into my mind when I was a teenager that should have been dealing with other shit. The first time this was made apparent was when I was talking to a girl from England, and I was talking about some weird charity drive my school was doing for the victims. It was a real shock when she said hers was doing something similar, but for the people the US was wantonly bombing in retaliation.
I've kind of lost my patriotic spirit since then.
Honestly I strongly believe that's part of what makes people take the piss out of 9/11 so much. It was a terrible day for sure, but comparatively a spec to all the horrors and lives lost to the american war machine the past two decades following.

It's true, as Canadians we were literally roped into 9/11 like we were the ones being attacked. I was born years after 9/11 too, but from what my dad has said about the event apparently it was scary enough to send all of Canada into a nationwide panic and cities were shut down for multiple days afterwards, with people believing another hijacker was getting ready to nosedive into the parliament building or the CN Tower or some shit idk. I've never had any teachers obsessed with the event, and that person is probably serving some time in a rehab clinic for their addiction to a national tragedy... in another country without them even being close to it.

Canadian here. I had a teacher obsessed with it too, in highschool. Not to that extent, but we since my grade was the one right after op, we had to watch an uncensored version of some of the footage and a very in detail story of one of the dudes who died in 9/11, including watching the people jump from the towers. Then my teacher had us go home and ask our parents about it so we could write something about their experience with it. My dad was in the military at the time. He just had this far off look and told me "I said Goodbye and I love you to your mom and left to my station because I did not know if I would be coming back". Since I hadn't ever seen him like that before and knew he was then having some PTSD, I kept my paper small and vague and got in shit with my teacher for not having a detailed account.
He explained to me a few years later, he fully expected to either be bombed with a plane himself or to be immediately deployed to war. I also found out later that he was deployed a few months later to serve in the Persian Gulf. Teachers like that annoy the fuck out of me
that teacher does sound annoying af. telling kids to ask their parents to relive a traumatic experience and expecting the best out of that???
@Sin Zones Yeah, she was nuts. Like none of us could even remember anything in regards to it except watching footage every year starting like Grade 5 and it getting progressively worse until highschool. They don't understand "one death is a tradegy, a million is a statistic" applies to 9/11 for people who can't remember it. Like ww know what it means, but we hate the obsession with it.
shit like this happens so much on twitter now with just about every little thing and its sad, especially with minorities, as an autisic person the shit some people do to "defend" us is insane

“Hey kids ask your parents about possible trauma!”
Reminds me of a teacher who gave no trigger warning for a child r*pe scene in a movie and then proceeded to give the students who (rightfully) complained crap about it.
Like, dear teachers: consider your students wellbeing and mental health if you want to cover horrific topics. They’re kids. It’s your job to make sure they’re going to be okay with it, if you wanna teach something messed up.
