Don't give up the ship

The kids make enigmatic statements on social media platforms and the state police respond to the house in the middle of the night jarring the parents out of whatever sense of safety they once had. It's a stage, you think, and who can resist that sort of performance? Or is it something one does for the reassurance? My friends really do care about me. But then, how does that affect a friendship - your eternal goodbye in the form of a dm sent out of the blue? You said you love me and goodbye? 

Do any of us really need a another jolt? Another breakdown? Another grizzly act of calculated malice in a classroom on Facebook live? Another teen found hanging in the closet amongst her summer clothes? 

No, we don't. 

Yes, it is all too much. 

So let's not do anything to add to it. Shall we?
