In the wake of the tragic Santa Fe High school shooting in Texas many were left terrified and heartbroken, yet, unsurprised that it has happened again. According to CNN, there has been, on average, 1 mass shooting in the US every week this year.
Student Andrew Schneidawind started the trending hashtag #IfIDieInASchoolShooting in the hope of bringing attention to public safety, and the tragic effect each mass school shooting has on all of us. The hashtag became trending on Twitter, and hundreds of students have already shared the things they would miss out on if they were killed. Many reflected on the loved ones they would leave behind, and others shared the experiences and goals they would never be able to accomplish.
The students took the chance to pressure legislators to pass an effective gun control reform. And no matter on which side of the gun law reform debate you are, these testimonies will definitely make you feel heartbroken.

So true, the killers are always remembered and victims too soon forgotten.

I saw people painting the faces of people who died in shooting on a wall, but some people started yelling at them for no reason, and then wiped the paintings off.

oh lord, ugly crying. This is so senseless. These students are asking for the right to live their lives, and this can be achieved with common sense and the will of politicians.

F*ck you John Smith, you just ruined everyone's next few days and disrespected the kids who have had their lives shortened by the horrible people who are taking out their anger on innocent students, teachers, and citizens. You clearly have no sympathy for the families who have lost their loved ones. So again I say, F*CK YOU.

I was literally born into a war and I had a happier and more care free childhood than these kids. It's tragic that gun politics sound like dark humour for it's bizarity and nonsense. The tragic part is that it's real. Come on, American politicians! Wake up from the American dream and see what's happening in the real world. "You better wake up and smell the real flavour".

If I die in a school shooting. I'll never be able to see justice for the politicians that killed me.

If I die in a school shooting, I'll never get to live my life to the fullest, reform the United States government, be a woman polititian who openly supports gun control, gay rights, women's equality, and make all people who have commited rape or abuse pay for their actions. I will never be able to see my loved ones again, I will never be able to make a difference. I will be a name in the ever-growing sea of illogical deaths.
