On Monday (May 22), a bomb went off inside Manchester Arena immediately following an Ariana Grande concert. The attack, which resulted in multiple fatalities and injuries, has left teens, parents, and celebrities in a state of shock and sadness as news of the victims continues to pour in.
Part of what's so scary about the Manchester attack is the universality of the situation. So many of us have been to large concerts like Ariana's, and it's easy to understand that some people might be scared of similar events in the future. In fact, some fans have already taken to social media to beg Justin Bieber to cancel his upcoming UK shows. Justin is slated to play in Cardiff and London later this summer, and some Beliebers have expressed their concern about the safety of those events. They've even started tweeting at Justin's manager, Scooter Braun, who is also the manager for Ariana.

Of course, it's completely understandable that some fans are afraid that something could happen at Justin's concerts, or any other concert for that matter. The awareness that an act of violence could occur almost anywhere is deeply upsetting, and it's easy to get fixated on that fear. But at the same time, we cannot let fear dictate our lives. That, above all, is what the perpetrators of these attacks desire. If we become too scared to live our lives, too afraid to go out in public, too worried to enjoy a night out with friends – then we've let violence, hate, and evil into the driver's seat. In times like these, it's important to take care of ourselves while simultaneously refusing to give into fear. It's not easy, but we have to bolster one another to be resilient even in the face of tragedy.
