We need to vote people out of office that are perpetuating issues affecting young people, like gun violence.
Honestly, it's alright that people are buying more guns. I just care that they are being safe individuals.
There's a lot of amazing people that don't get into college.
We can have all the walkouts we want, but if we don't walk to that ballot box and make our voices heard, these politicians aren't going to listen.
I'm easy to pick on because I'm a string bean.
Congress needs to get over their political bias with each other and work toward saving children's lives.
Research who your politicians are, even; know what they do, know who they're supported by legislatively, and know who is supporting them financially for their campaigns. Because ever since Citizens United, we've seen a massive growth in the amount of campaign contributions and corruption in politics as a result, and that has to change.
The cold grasp of corruption shackles the District of Columbia.
You can't have empathy for somebody that's gone through something you haven't - because, definitionally, you can't. But you can feel for them and have sympathy for them. And that's what this country needs to practice more. It's about realizing that you do come from a different place.
I think it's important to realize that law enforcement does do a very good job oftentimes of trying to ensure the safety and security of their people. But oftentimes, where they fail is communities of color and in lower socioeconomic status communities where they discriminate against these people.
When you have all these new police officers and resource officers coming into schools, what I'm worried is going to happen is we're going to increase the school-to-prison pipeline, which disproportionately affects students of color and lower social status.
What a lot the media, and especially Fox News, has messed up with me is they've made it seem like I'm trying to take away people's guns - that I'm against the Second Amendment.
We've all lived through something horrific, but the strength and beauty and knowledge that we're going to win eventually is what keeps me going.
I support the Second Amendment. But for God's sake - how can we knowingly pass bills and laws that are in direct opposition to saving kids' lives?
We simply want gun legislation in this country that allows law-abiding citizens to still own guns or prevents people with a history of mental illness or a history of a criminal background from owning a firearm.
The youth don't vote lawmakers into office, and as a result, they don't work for them.
I get to a certain point where I just get so tired that I keep going. It creates a positive feedback loop in some ways - the more stress and work I put on me, the more stress and work I can deal with.
We are millennials, and we love complaining more than any other generation.
When politicians say your voice does not matter because the NRA owns them, we say, 'No more.'
President Trump needs to listen to the screams of the children and the screams of this nation.
