With the recent shooting that took place at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, a lot of my social media timelines are filled with nothing other than news reports from this tragedy, pictures of the suspect, and more than anything, posts from the students and parents affiliated with the school who will be scarred for the rest of their lives. Because these students are so active on social media already, it is not surprising that this is what they took to in order to express their feelings about what happened on Wednesday. Reading each post makes me feel even more remorseful for the pain they had to endure, given the videos on Snapchat that had the rifle going off in the background and pictures of texts between family members who did not know what the outcome would be that day. I am glad that they are using these media outlets to take and have a voice, hopefully to make a difference. However, many others are using the media in a negative way-a lot of politics are being thrown out there, and it is disheartening to me that pushing an agenda is the priority when 17 young lives were lost. Yes, something needs to be done, but spreading so much negativity is dividing our country when those who were victimized should be lifted up and helped to find peace. I saw an article that said Russia was using bots and troll accounts, just as they did in the 2016 Presidential election, to  divide us. They have posted pro-gun ads and also ads that were against it. Manipulation of our media by foreign countries as well as those who do not consider their words before posting are out of hand and something needs to be done about it.
