On February 14th, 2019, I listened to a podcast published by The Daily (The Parkland Students, 1 Year Later), in which 4 teenage girls were interviewed after their school shooting in Parkland, Florida.  They were 15 years old.

Unsurprisingly, students weren’t happy with the new addition to the dress code, not only because it was an invasion of privacy but also because it indicated that the school administration missed the point of their protests entirely.

It’s pretty inspirational to see so many young people rising up and speaking out for a cause, but as some pointed out, it’s more than just that — honestly, it’s tragic.

Some of the Florida shooting survivors have taken to Twitter to make a point: that nothing is going to change unless someone does something to make that change.

This incident seems particularly newsworthy given the discussion around gun control and arming teachers that has arisen in the wake of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that killed 17 students and faculty.

Their messages of solidarity and support are making us all a little emotional — as are the teens who are stepping up to make a difference.

A security guard at El Camino High School in Whittier, California overheard a disgruntled student threaten to open fire in school last week after he had a disagreement with a teacher over his headphones

Facebook user Tanai Benard decided to ask her son whether his school had prepared him for a mass shooting, and his response left her shaken.
