Mass shootings
School shootings

Why violence? How many more dead bodies? How many more innocent lives? How much more blood is needed?

We need to stop. We need change. We want to be safe. We want to feel safe.

Why can't we have that

Robb Elementary School, Uvalde, TX, USA
21 DEAD: 19 STUDENTS; 3 TEACHERS

The students who were killed were children. Ages 9 to 11. Let it be known that they were young, they still had a lot to learn, their lives ripped away. The teachers who worried about if this would become reality for them, and it did.

This was a classroom. Children getting to learn something. Families have been changed forever.

Please, we need to change. I am scared. I am so scared that one day it might happen to my niece. I prepared myself in Elementary, middle, and high school for a school shooting. Students, children, families, and teachers shouldn't think when or if. It shouldn't even be a thought.

I have cried for people and for families that I don't even know.
