    This chain needs to come back, cause bullying is a problem again in our country and these kids today don’t know about Rachel and her chain of kindness to help prevent bullying. Thank you again to Rachel for helping spread kindness to our children. Continue to rest in peace and paradise sweet girl 🌈🌈🌈🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🕊️🕊️🕊️

      ​@@tomthemantv6482it's a bullshit narrative bud. Christian propaganda cash in. It wasn't even Rachel that was asked if she believed in God. Look at official reports from student witnesses. Also, they called isaiah shoels the n word before they killed him. Also shot a white boy in the face. They wanted everyone dead. Spared no one. No narrative at all. Wanted the whole school slaughtered.

    I was in high school when they talked about Rachel’s Challenge and I signed it. I never imagined it would happen again, and again, and again and so on. And because they keep happening, I’m terrified for my cousins that still go to school or about to. I never want the day to come when I hear about it happening at their school or worse. I don’t want to hear about it happening to kids of people I know and care about. I don’t want to hear it happening to anybody. I can’t stand the sound of gun fire, and hearing about these terrible shootings is making it worse.

    Rachel Joy Scott was the first person to die at Columbine on April 20 1999 and I saw the movie about her called I am Not Ashamed The Story Of Rachel Joy Scott and she did leave an impact on people and Rachel's Challenge was started after Columbine and Rachel seemed like the All American Golden Girl who had alot of dreams and hopes and wishes and her life was cut short and she was only 17 and she was a junior at Columbine.. This chain needs to come back b/c of what is happening in schools today with so many kids being bullied and hated and labeled for no reason. 12 Students and one teacher died the others saved themselves from the 2 shooters Eric Harris's family never spoke out but probbaly went into deep hiding and Sue Kelbold was only one that talked about this*** She spoke about Dylan Kelbold and what her son did.. She didn't know how could she know? Rachel Joy Scott was what a true Christian ought to be caring and helpful and friendly and she died believing in GOD and Jesus gave up his life for me I will give up my life for him! That was in one of her journals RIP Rachel Joy Scott I hope to see you one day.

And all of the students who lost their lives on that awful sad day :) And they lost their lives because they absolutely loved Jesus Christ with everything they had. And they didn’t back down. And now they’re with Jesus in Heaven:) And their walking with Him. And we will for sure see them again someday soon:) And what an amazing exciting reunion party it’s going to be on that day!! :) thank you Jesus for your amazing promises that you have given to us:) And that we can absolutely hold onto every day :) And we thank you God for that!! And my genuine heartfelt condolences do go out to the families/closest friends who lost their loved ones on this horrible horrible day years ago!! And we thank you Jesus for the amazing memories /amazing heroic stories about who the young people who are no longer with us. And may their memories/and their heroic stories continue to be told.

      ​​@@boomds5602no they don't but none of them focus exclusively on a single girl because there wasn't a single victim if there was a documentary about parkland you would expect all the victims to be included not one

      This is about spreading love in the face of tragedy. We need this message more than ever. Students today need the message of kindness.....maybe it will help prevent another mass shooting. "Those Days" have gotten worse, as evidenced by the increasing mass shootings.

      You never get over the death of your child no matter how many years have passed. It doesn’t matter how long it’s been. Rachel was Beautiful. Keeping her memory alive is a wonderful tribute that her family does. May God fix your harden heart. Have some Sympathy. These people lost their children. That’s one of the worst tragedies that anyone can ever experience.
