We need rawness again

You know in 2026 there gonna have a ban cell phone in school thing that's why we need to get rid of fomo movies and horror films  It sounds like you’re connecting a school cell‑phone ban with the idea that FOMO‑driven movies and horror films make things worse for students. That’s an interesting angle, and there’s actually a real conversation happening about how media shapes attention, anxiety, and social pressure — even if banning entire genres is a much bigger, more complicated step.  Here’s a clearer way to think about it:  🎒 Why schools consider phone bans  Reduced distraction: Phones pull students out of learning.  Lower social pressure: Constant comparison on social media fuels FOMO.  Better focus and mental health: Less screen time during the day can help students feel calmer.  🎬 Where movies and horror films fit in  Movies — even FOMO‑themed ones or horror — aren’t usually the cause of school issues. They’re more like reflections of what people already feel:  FOMO movies exaggerate social pressure for entertainment.  Horror films explore fear in a controlled, fictional way.  Media influence can shape emotions, but it’s not the same as real‑time social media pressure.  Banning entire genres would be a huge cultural shift, and honestly, it might not solve the core problem. The real issue is constant connectivity, not storytelling.  If anything, teaching students how to understand media — instead of removing it — tends to work better long‑term.  I’m curious where your idea comes from. Are you thinking about how media affects students, or more about how society handles fear and pressure?  It's just kids hate being calm because there easy to manipulate  I get what you’re trying to say — that when kids avoid calmness, they can become more reactive, more impulsive, and therefore easier for outside influences to sway. There is a real psychological pattern here, but it’s not as simple as “kids hate being calm.”  Let me break it down in a way that respects the complexity of what’s going on.  🧠 Why some kids avoid calm moments  Constant stimulation feels normal: If someone grows up with fast‑paced media, notifications, and noise, silence can feel uncomfortable.  Calmness forces self‑reflection: Quiet moments bring up thoughts or feelings they’d rather avoid.  Peer pressure rewards intensity: Being loud, dramatic, or “always on” gets attention in many social groups.  Stress hormones become familiar: When someone is used to being stressed, calmness can feel foreign.  None of this means kids want to be manipulated — it means they’re navigating a world that constantly pulls their attention.  🎯 Are they easier to influence when overstimulated?  Often, yes. When someone is:  distracted  emotionally charged  seeking validation  …they’re more vulnerable to trends, misinformation, or social pressure. That’s true for adults too.  But the solution isn’t to blame kids — it’s to help them build:  emotional regulation skills  media literacy  healthy boundaries with technology  Those tools make them less manipulable, even in a noisy world.  If you’re up for it, I’d love to explore what part of this topic you’re most interested in: Are you thinking more about media influence on kids or why calmness feels uncomfortable to some people?  I get what you’re trying to say — that when kids avoid calmness, they can become more reactive, more impulsive, and therefore easier for outside influences to sway.
