Kids are typically expected to take a back seat when it comes to national politics and policy, but with what's going on right now that cannot happen any longer. I'm 16 years old, I'm a junior high school student, I cannot vote. That does not mean I can't do anything. It's time for students, everywhere, across the country, whether you're in a blue state or red state, to get involved, to speak up in your own local communities. It's time that students have this conversation at the dinner table with their parents and let them know that enough is enough!

I need a lecture from a kid about grown up responsibilities?
Thanks but no thanks.
Notice how nobody talks about the sick/mentally ill people who actually shot up people. It is as if the gun just walked into the schools and shot itself. If the mentally ill/evil don’t have a gun they will use a knife, maybe a bomb or how about a car or an axe.
Kids should ask ‘why are kids my age going around shooting up schools?’
HAy, cupcake...
Most of the “shooters” are kids...you know - **just like you**.
So, quit bullying your classmates. Stop picking on smaller kiddos.
And pull up your pants and pay attention in class!!
We need brainwashed kid control.
Also,you can work to repeal the 2nd Amendment if you have any spare time.
OK, I promise not to shoot anyone. Going on well over 50 years of gun ownership and have shot anyone yet.
Is the kid able to tell the functional difference between a rifle and a shotgun or distinguish between rim and centre fire? Is he able to briefly describe or sketch the firearms laws particular to his state and even municipality? I would ask youths these questions before engaging them in a debate on the subject.
“This conversation around the dinner table.” Right out of the Democrat phrasebook.
Far more kids are killed by driving and texting.
Maybe we should raise the driving age to 21 and not allow kids to have cell phones.
That should be the dinner conversation that occurs.
Dear 16yo, It’s not the parents who are shooting up schools. It’s your brothers and sisters and their friends. Maybe it’s time to start telling your parents what your brother or sister is up to when they go out ‘hang out’ with their friends. And then your parents can be safe, too.
When I was 14, my Dad bought a WWII vintage M1 Carbine and a 15 and a 30 round magazine for me. He also gave me $5.00 to go down to the Army surplus store to buy 200 rounds of surplus Lake City ammunition in a couple of bandoleers so we could take it to the range.
He was issued the same type of rifle in WWII. I still have that rifle made by IBM in 1943.
So far, it hasn’t jumped out of storage and killed or hurt anyone.
befriend the kids that seem to be friendless...
stop watching violent movies or tv and don't buy any of it...
stop playing violent video games..and don't buy any of it....
stop listening to violent music and don't buy any of it...
pray...
Did you accidentally leave the word “not” out of your post?
I know it’s a teensy little word but sometimes it makes a difference.
Lie. And that is why we tell you twits to piss off.
When he reaches his majority he will have a say in these matters. Regrettably, the way he is going, his stance will be wrong. His voice will have to be countered.
The appalling part about this child's spouting is that it highlights the left’s politicizing our school children. This is outrageous! Unless countered, the nation cannot survive this lunacy.
When they stop eating Tide Pods, we can talk with our kids about adulthood.
Hey kid,
Press hard in you studies
Keep your nose clean
Do lots of pull ups
Do lots of sit ups
Run a lot
