My school made us go to the library and watch the news during 9/11. We were still elementary school.
Edit: The teacher and librarian didn’t even change the channel or turn off the tv when people started jumping. It is crazy the amount schools all over the country allowed small kids to watch this horrific event. I remember one kid said it was funny that people were jumping when we were discussing it the next day with the teacher. Everyone thought that his reaction was weird.
I'm a gen Z'er myself and cannot recall 9/11 because I was only 5 months old then. Now after having completed the mandatory military service here in Finland I couldn't think of having to go fight a foreign war and potentially losing my life. I'll soon start studying in a vocational school to a construction engineer, here's hoping times will become better but I have my doubts, since it seems like the only thing people in a position of power are willing to do is to milk every last drop from future generations for their own short-term benefit
