Why We Are Here

Answers

Here are my answers to some commonly asked questions. Feel free to ask anymore that you may have.

I want anyone who has the facts to feel free to answer questions. I want this to be a community dedicated to change, I'm just simply setting up the foundation. I can do nothing without you guys though.

I will tell you a few things about myself though, because I am a child scared to go to school, not the account. We are all the account.

1. I am a second account. The same person runs another account that has nothing to do with this and I will not name my first account, because I don't want any sort of recognition for this. 

2. My pronouns are she/her/hers, but I do not care what you use, especially if you are addressing the account as a whole.

3. My name is Abigail. You can feel free to call me by my name if you wish when talking specifically to me.

4. I do not deserve thanks. I am simply righting a wrong that should not be there in the first place. You guys are the ones making this happen.

5. I've been having finding pictures of the victims, because I have terrible facial recognition. I think it's a very mild version of face blindness, but I am prone to mistakes as far as pictures go. Please point out if I have made any sort of mistake.

6. I do not believe that mental health is scary. I struggle with areas of it, I would like to keep that personal for now, but I am not a monster.

Where is this going?

We're slowly moving towards the plan I suppose.

moonwatcher71 and Queenie2332 asked:

What is the plan?

I think I answered it best under the what can we do online and in real life questions.

The big plan though is to make this movement big. Like school walkouts big.

If I had it my way I would have a national holiday to remember all those lost in the shootings.

I'm hoping that the shooters will be talked about less, because sometimes people are inspired to get that attention. Instead I want the victims to be remembered and given more attention. Many of them died heroes.

Personally I want to speak at events. I want to get a solid core group to help me do this. Perhaps even organize events.

I want mental health to not be feared. Many people believe that it is the only reason behind school shootings, but according to some studies one in four people will have problems with mental health disorders in their lives. If everyone with mental health problems did something like this the world might just explode from the sheer amount of chaos.

What is the purpose of this account?

To help bring awareness to the sheer number of school shootings. The mission is to stop them and save the lives of children.

What can we do?

Online spreading the word is key.

I am also hoping for people to write just something as simple as a one shot with OneVoiceManyChildren and #OneVoiceManyChildren at the end to help spread the message. (Do #s work on here?)

How is this going to have an impact in the real world?

It only will if we all work together.

I have no plans to give up, so I hope our efforts do something.

PatchtailLuv and moonwatcher71 asked:

How can we help in our communities?

One of the questions I answered earlier pertained to online specifically.

As of now though I have mentioned two of my plans for the real world, publishing about this in school newspapers and spreading flyers. Alas the world is scared of such subjects  sometimes and not everything is possible. Word of mouth will never be destroyed though. Let people know you are apart of a movement called OneVoiceManyChildren and tell them what we do.

People tend to shy away from the subject, because it is a big one. When we run away from the problem we only allow it to grow larger.

If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

As always I do this for my little sister, may you remain alive and untouched. I love you.
