'Is this going to happen here?': After Florida shooting teens worry about their safety at school

Colleen Lance

Students mourn during a candlelight vigil for victims of yesterday ’ s shooting at nearby Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland Fla . on Feb . 15 . ( Reuters / Carlos Garcia Rawlins ) Sixteen - year - old Colleen Lance ’ s English class spent much of its time on Thursday talking about what to do in case someone started shooting . “ Do we try to barricade the door ? Do we try to escape ? What are we supposed do during a shooting ?” she and her fellow students asked their substitute teacher . Lance ’ s classroom in Illinois was a thousand miles from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School where a gunman opened fire on Wednesday and killed at least 17 people . But the news hit close to home . “ After Florida we were all definitely like ‘ Oh God is this going to happen here ?’ ” Lance said . “ It ’ s very anxious to go to school after a school shooting . It makes you more aware that you ’ re not safe .” Lance wasn ’ t alone in her anxiety . After the latest school shooting this time in Parkland Fla . teenagers across the country returned to their own high schools Thursday for another normal day . But then again Wednesday had started out as a normal day for Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School . And it was hard not to think about that . Several students responded to a request from The Washington Post via Snapchat to talk about how the news of the tragedy weighed on them as they returned to their own classrooms . ( The Post spoke with some of those students by phone and contacted their schools to verify their identities and attendance .) [ A loud new voice after the latest school shooting : Kids wanting to know why adults hadn ’ t done more ] “ It makes me feel really concerned . It feels so much more common now ” said Rebecca Connor 15 who attends high school in Virginia . “ You don ’ t know where it ’ s going to happen next . It could happen at our school . There ’ s no way to tell .” She added that report after report of troubled students turning on their classmates “ makes me want to be nicer makes me want to take everyone ’ s feelings into account .” This type of response isn ’ t limited to high school students said Robin Gurwitch a psychologist at Duke University Medical Center . But teenagers are particularly vulnerable . “ With teens the more stressed they are about these events the more likely they are to have sleep problems difficulty concentrating and irritability . It can affect school performance and relationships with peers ” Gurwitch said . For some the overwhelming sensation wasn ’ t fear but weariness . “ It ’ s become such a common occurrence that it ’ s hard to have a reaction at some point ” said Aidan McGahey 15 who attends high school in Philadelphia . McGahey said his fellow students sometimes talk about shootings in the immediate aftermath and that his religion class had tackled the subject this week . Lance dissected the news with her friends who are similarly interested in keeping up with current events and fall on both sides of the political divide . Connor a budding news junkie who watches “ Morning Joe ” and keeps up to date with Apple News confessed that she and her friends didn ’ t discuss school shooting stories much because it would “ make it feel more real .” Gurwitch said that taking time away from the news was critical for teenagers when a story like the Parkland massacre is dominating headlines . She emphasized activities like reading sports listening to music or other activities that allow people to avoid social media or the news for a set period of time . The American Psychological Association has issued similar guidelines for people of all ages dealing with stress related to school shootings in the news . [ We ’ re used to experiencing mass shootings online . But Parkland brought us into the classroom . ] It ’ s not uncommon for schools to have lockdown drills or add security systems to protect students in the event of an attack . But in addition to physical security measures Gurwitch said schools should allow discussions about traumatic events “ in a smaller group so if there are concerns [ students ] feel comfortable asking a question or commenting on something they may have heard .” No matter how many safe spaces schools create the teenagers expressed frustration at the recurring issue of school shootings . “ It ’ s not something we can sit back and say ‘ it ’ s a part of our society ’. We need to be taking active steps to resolve ” McGahey said . “ I think we need to work to stop this .” “ It makes me upset that it ’ s something I do have to think about . I just want to focus on my grades and graduating and going to college and becoming a young adult ” Lance said . “ I don ’ t want to think about getting shot when I go to school .”

How to use Instagram to get lucky

Demi Lovato

Move over Tinder and Match . Millennials are hooking up and even finding love on Instagram . “ It ’ s changed the way people communicate ” says Mary Beth Barone a 26 - year - old comedian based in the East Village who says men often message her on the photo - sharing network . “ There ’ s so much more access — you can see people ’ s lives so you automatically have something to talk about with them .” Here six ways 20 - and 30 - somethings are getting Insta - mate . The thirst trap A post shared by Sabrina Zohar (@ sabrina . zohar ) on Feb 6 2018 at 5 : 42am PST Last week singer Demi Lovato was called out for trying to trap her prey actor Henry Cavill when she uploaded a sexy snap of herself in lingerie shortly after following Cavill ’ s account . Sabrina Zohar who is 27 and the founder of clothing company Softwear regularly posts photos of herself clad in lingerie lounging around her swanky Williamsburg apartment . Male followers flood her with flirtatious comments and that ’ s precisely one of her intentions with her “ thirst traps ” — pics meant to catch a love interest ’ s eye . But there ’ s more to Instagram flirting than just scantily clad pics . Zohar adds an “ authentic ” caption about self - love and empowerment to let her audience know she ’ s genuine . She recently uploaded a black - and - white photo of herself in a bodysuit pantless lying down on a shaggy rug with the caption : “ Love yourself first the rest will fall into place .” Zohar who ’ s single and has met a handful of first dates on Instagram says such messages help her find the sort of men she ’ s looking for . “ If I wanna look for a mate that ’ s a bit more authentic more real more in touch with themselves [ the captions ] will resonate with them so that they understand me more than ‘ She ’ s a sexy girl just posting a lingerie photo .’ There ’ s more depth to it .” Baiting with a cute animal A post shared by Danny Visconti (@ dannyveee ) on Jan 2 2018 at 10 : 08am PST You don ’ t need to be perfectly ripped to get someone ’ s attention . Danny Visconti a 32 - year - old television producer in the West Village says the most alluring feature on his Instagram feed is his 11 - month - old rescue Lab mix Clint . “ I ’ ll usually get a lot of responses just being like ‘ Oh my God he ’ s so cute ” says Visconti who ’ s currently single but has been on a handful of dates with men he met on Instagram . “[ I ’ ll say ] ‘ Oh you know you can come meet him anytime you like .’ And then a handful of times they do .” The deep like Going into the archives of someone ’ s profile and liking a weeks - old or months - old photo is a bold way to express romantic interest . “ This is the Instagram flirting equivalent of making a mixtape for your crush ” says Drew Wyman a 29 - year - old entrepreneur who met his girlfriend on the social network . “ It ’ s obvious .” Sliding into the DMs Sending a flirty message to someone ’ s Instagram inbox has become a go - to move for many . ‘ Guys tend to be courageous about what they say ’ Dara Pollak a food blogger whose @ skinnypignyc account has 84 000 followers says she ’ s been flooded with direct messages from men in response to her photos of decadent burgers and cheesy pastas . “ Guys tend to be courageous about what they say ” says Pollak who notes that the best way to stand out is by being honest and straightforward while providing background on yourself . For example a guy recently messaged her : “ I refuse to believe you eat all this and look as good as you do … but if you ever want to prove it I ’ ll buy . Here ’ s my number .” Pollak was charmed but says she ’ s currently not looking to meet anyone online . Stand out with a ‘ Story ’ Zohar says that uploading Instagram Stories — temporary posts of videos or multiple photos that expire after 24 hours — can more effectively grab someone ’ s attention than a permanent post . “ It ’ s because of the algorithm ” Zohar says . “ Not everybody sees my [ permanent ] posts but with the live videos [ it ’ s more certain ] somebody will see it .” Every time she uploads a Story of herself in her underwear Zohar receives anywhere from “ 10 to 15 ” direct messages . Zohar says : “ It ’ s because people perceive I ’ m active [ online ] when I put a Story up .” Tag your way to the ‘ Explore ’ tab Instagram ’ s “ Explore ” tab which shows a grid of photos from other strangers based on your network and interests is also a meet market according to kickboxing instructor Suki Komonaj 28 . She went on a date with a guy she found on the Explore page because he had similar interests in fitness and had some attractive workout pics . “ I ’ m always on that page ” says Komonaj who ’ s based in The Bronx and is currently single . To attract fitness - minded guys to her page she uses hashtags such as # fit # boxing and # fitthick to get on like - minded ( and like - bodied ) men ’ s Explore tabs . “ I wanna target somebody who likes to be in the gym like me owning a business and such ” Komonaj says .

Pompeo has already been preparing to take over the State Department

Rex Tillerson

From left CIA Director Mike Pompeo and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson . ( Photos by Bill O ’ Leary / The Washington Post and Jabin Botsford / The Washington Post ) Since well before the White House plan to replace Secretary of State Tillerson with CIA Director Mike Pompeo became public Thursday Pompeo had been informally preparing to take over in Foggy Bottom reaching out to potential candidates for positions and collecting ideas . “ Pompeo is quietly looking at staff and figuring out how the department could be reorganized to be effective again ” a White House official told me . A CIA spokesman declined to comment . Pompeo has been calling around to friends and top Republican foreign policy hands and asking them to help him get ready to be America ’ s top diplomat if he is ultimately chosen two GOP foreign policy sources who are familiar with the calls said . The Trump administration denied Thursday that the White House has drawn up plans to replace Tillerson with Pompeo and then appoint Sen . Tom Cotton ( R - Ark .) to be CIA director as first reported by the New York Times . But White House officials confirmed to me that such a plan does exist drawn up by Chief of Staff John F . Kelly . It is still unclear if President Trump has personally approved the plan officials said and the timing is also uncertain . In this clip from The Washington Post ' s weekly Opinions roundup " It ' s Only Thursday " opinion writers Jonathan Capehart Jo - Ann Armao and Ruth Marcus weigh in on reports that the White House is planning to replace Secretary of State Rex Tillerson with CIA Director Mike Pompeo . ( The Washington Post ) State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said Kelly called Tillerson ’ s chief of staff Margaret Peterlin Thursday morning to dispute the reports . Tillerson is going about his normal business she said and was not rattled . “ The White House statement confirmed there will be no personnel changes ” she said . “ Secretary Tillerson enjoys this job he has a lot of work to do .” Tillerson and Trump met twice Thursday . In a pool meeting with reporters Trump answered questions about Tillerson simply by saying “ He ’ s here . Rex is here .” Several State Department officials said Thursday they were happy that Tillerson was leaving and hopeful that Pompeo if selected would give them a fresh start with the Trump administration . Morale is low in Foggy Bottom amid budget and staffing cuts hiring freezes a departure of top talent and scores of vacant top - level positions . Tillerson ’ s support on Capitol Hill has also deteriorated in recent weeks as lawmakers in both parties openly criticized his ongoing reorganization initiative . The main State Department official in charge of that effort Maliz Beams quit her job earlier this week . Tillerson has consistently denied reports he is considering leaving or anticipating being pushed out . This week he pushed back against reports the diplomatic core is in trouble . Last month he denied being aware of the low morale and overall discontent with his leadership at the State Department . “ If it ’ s as bad as it seems to be described I ’ m not seeing it I ’ m not getting it ” he said . If Pompeo does become secretary of state his first task should be to repair the Trump administration ’ s relationship with the thousands of State Department employees who are ready to follow him if he is ready to lead them .
