If you're following international news, you might have heard about the mass shootings happening in schools all around Turkiye. It is a horrible chain of events, of which I or my friends or anyone might be affected as well. No one knows when it will happen, where it will happen, or if it happens if one will be able to survive, "if" "if" "if", an endless question flood in our minds... My life is in danger. So is that of my friends and loved ones. We believe the attacks are coordinated, despite the corrupt government denying the allegations. They are not taking precautions or doing anything at the moment. Hundreds of parents are in mourning. To have sent their children to school cheerfully; in return to dread, pain and trauma.
In response to all of this, I organized my friends and submitted a formal request for the suspension of classes. It is, however, highly unlikely that I will get a response to it, knowing the corrupt government they are. So we are just not going to attend any classes. For some time, of which I don't know yet. No one wants to die, I am sure. Think of it like the COVID-19 pandemic, where we all stayed in houses. Yes that means we aren't going outside either because it's as unsafe as schools at the moment and generally.

I am more active in Signal than in Discord or any other. Plus, if you go to my website and see me listening to music, it means I am alive. I coded the website like that as a precaution as well... For some time, I will stop using Discord to not distract myself from my work and other stuff. But I am always available on Signal. I will also be updating this Gist accordingly. If you see it unedited for a long time, well...
CURRENT STATUS: 🟢 Stable
- April 14th: 1st of 2 events (for now) unfolded while we were in our normal lives. However nothing was done because the Ministry of Education said everything was "under control" (more than 5 deaths).
- April 15th: By far the biggest mass shooting occured. We have protested and left the school to safety. Dealt with having speeches and rotting false information on social media for the rest of the day. Unable to contact my friend. He was in that school where the second event happened
- April 16th: Got the news that my friend was killed. Went to his funeral on Kahramanmaras. Tried to contact the school administration. Spent the rest of the day at my house
- April 17th: The school called me in to discuss the matter with Turkish officials at 8 AM (I was shocked to see this worked out). Was really unprepared but managed to pull of a good speech. Don't know what will happen rest.
- April 18th-April 23th: Seems stuff are becoming more stable as of today. Alive. Trying to live my normal life.
- May 3rd: Doing okay.
- May 11th: Okay I am back to life. Doing pretty fine. Active on Discord as well. I will remove the link from my bio and replace it with the original one, thanks for checking this out ily <3
