The Cassandra Effect: The effect where no one listens to you!

The Cassandra Effect is where someone predicts something bad happening in the future. However, no one listens to them. Throughout the ages, there have been many "Cassandras" in real life who have predicted the future, yet still no one listened to them. In the ancient city of Troy, there was a young woman whose name is Cassandra. Her father was the king of Troy. She predicted many tragic events and tried to warn people, but they never listened. One day, the Trojans decided to invade Troy. They used the Trojan Horse to get into the city. Nobody knew there were Trojans hiding in the horse. Everyone except for Cassandra. She tried to warn them to not open the gate and let in the giant wooden horse. Nobody listened to her, thus making the whole city of Troy be burned down by the Trojans. The survivors, including Cassandra, got captured by the Trojans. She predicted her captor was going to die. When Cassandra's captor arrived home with her, his wife had plans to murder him. Soon, when he came home, his wife grabbed an axe and hacked him to death, along with Cassandra. Although Cassandra died, all her predictions came true. Many people like Cassandra have tried to change the course of history, and try to get people to listen to them. They all failed at doing one thing. Getting people to listen to them. I challenge you guys to do some research about a topic that will greatly affect our future. Warn people about this topic, and how it could affect our future. Write down how many people listen and how many people don't.
