I was born a few days after Columbine. I was 2 on 9/11. I was almost 8 when the shooting at Virginia Tech happened. I was 12 when Bin Laden was killed. I was 13 when first graders were killed at Sandy Hook. I was a freshman in High School when the policy changed from hide and most likely die in a school shooting to fight back and most likely die in a school shooting. I was a freshman in college when the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas happened. There has literally never been a time in my life where violence has not been normalized on TV; and the sad part is this is just the stuff off the top of my head.
