Darkness falling

Hello, my name is Alexander. You may call me Alex if you like. Max already introduced me and some examples of my gay AF, dorky, edgy personality. One thing I forgot to mention in that though was I have anxiety and can get panic attacks. I did yesterday with a mix up with my Pre Testing for the PSAT. That wasn't fun. But that's not what I'm here to address, what I'm here to address is there's been several incidents going on since the start of the semester in August. Here's a brief timeline,

August:
Racially based highly offensive slurs are found on a Facebook page, insulting the student and their family. This incident starts the founding of One Wellesley, an organization to help promote unity within the school, and broader community.

September:
A nazi swastica is found in the language lab on one of the school computers. Principal makes announcement and topic is discussed in advisories (home rooms) currently under investigation. One Wellesley continues their work. Comments such as "So I see the freshman found the bathroom for when all the others are filled." Are heard when talking about the schools only gender neutral bathroom accessible to students located out of the way on the first floor of this [giant] school.

October:
The N-Word is found written in a girls washroom stall, this happened recently, other students were notified on Monday. Transphobic occurrences appear in a classroom against a student by their peers. Blatant homophobia occurs throughout the school against members of the LGBTQ+ community including, Max, Jack, Ben (the kid who I'm terribly trying to be boyfriends with)  and myself.

And because I'm cynical here's my brief view on the world currently,

The world's a confusing place, easy to get lost and fall through the cracks. How did we get this way? Stumbling nation's, mass extermination, the threat of war always at someone's door. When did we let fear rule? Where did logic and reason go when we need them more than ever? Would our ancestral relatives ever let someone like trump be able to hold power? The world is changed, I know my history well enough to get that. This year may change everything. Either way tensions will rise, and every tension has a breaking point. I fear that breaking point. Each day to wake up to either clamoring or suffering silence, each moment wondering what will happen next, at school, at home, around the world, Darkness is falling-

-and it's falling fast.
