Here's a teen with something to say.
Ok. First of all, I'm glad you didn't lump all of us teens into one blood and gut-loving category. I do greatly appreciate that.
But I do have to argue with the other point - some of us were old enough to understand the impact of 9/11 on the world. We may've not understood the impact immediately, but it's become increasingly apparent over the last five years.
I was beginning the 8th grade when 9/11 occured. I remember being scared that day, but it wasn't fear for myself, it was fear for what the world had become, and the knowledge that this was a day that would forever define our generation. We are forever the generation "who was too young to understand 9/11."
What a great label to have.
Personally, I refuse to see any of these 9/11 movies. I cannot even watch the trailors without being shaken up. I lived that day once. I don't need to re-live it in a movie.
Thank you.
