Today, while blissfully unaware that it was the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, I was making paper airplanes during my free period in school. Next thing I know, I was reported for, "making jokes about the 9/11 attacks." FML

It's only making fun of 9/11 if OP purposefully crashed the paper planes. If they got upset just for him flying them, I'd say they're being a bit over sensitive. 9/11 was a tragedy, but it doesn't make such simple activities suddenly taboo.

My gosh everybody on top is getting down voted. Regardless of what they say OP, that is an exceedingly stupid thing to get in trouble for. It is a paper airplane. People are getting way to sensitive. I understand that 9/11 affected thousands and thousands of people, but it is a freaking paper airplane.

a simple reminder that it is a tradgedy that affected many, many people and to be respectful of that would have done the trick rather than "report" you.

Making paper airplanes? Without necessarily throwing them or anything. I'd say it's quite a stretch to connect that to 9/11.

Calm down people. To those of us that weren't actually effected by the attacks, it's not something we pay a lot of attention to.

All of you fragile people are getting offended by everything. All of a sudden that it is 9/11 you join the bandwagon and feel "sad" What about the other days when it is not 9/11, you guys forget about this whole tragedy and just have fun. I bet there is not a single time in day where anyone stops and just thought of that day (except for the ones who lost someone) my condolences, but for the rest of you acting "sad" F out of here .-

People like you only "remember" this tragedy. I bet you can't even remember other major events that occurred. SMH

"I mean no disrespect." Makes a disrespectful joke.

Today's high schoolers were TODDLERS when 9/11 happened. It's completely understandable to forget about the anniversary if you don't even remember it happening. Yes, it's an important day in history that schools should address, but why are they still beating it into kids' heads as if they saw it happen live?

Why making paper plane is considered a joke about the tragedy? Honestly, it could be a way to express emotions, any kind. Why first thing people think is - thats a joke, disrespect, etc. Is everybody crazy? Only one correct way to show feelings? Maybe first publish strict guidelines?
