- Teen Vogue asked 5 students to read text messages sent by young people affected by gun violence. Too many students have faced this heart-stopping moment: Who do I text in case I don’t leave this situation alive?
In March 2018 Teen Vogue dedicated its digital cover to rising voices in the gun-control movement, young people working to end gun violence of all kinds.

"...Mommy he's coming, I'm going to die." sent a chill through my body, imagine getting a text like that.
kjdnyhmghfvb I got the chills too
I got chills too
You should see a doctor
Play dead
so if you got super scared the first thing your gonna do it play dead??
The fact that this was shot more than a year ago and nothing has progressed hits deep
@@andresmamafoundation6400 Said all the people killed in these mass shootings....
no. In columbine 15 people died including the two school shooters so...

Imagine being pissed at you’re child in the morning for being late
and never able to hear their voice, laughter, and touch again....
Oh my...so true. Anytime I've dropped mine off to school and been annoyed at them for running us all late, I always feel guilty once I get back in the car! At the end of the day, life is so fragile. It's better to let something's just slide and always part on loving terms :)
Kae Ponce that hit🥺.

That’s dark
Imagine how guilty they must feel
UA-cam to me: *so i heard you haven't cried today*
Yeah same

UA-cam hates me, I have cried today.
I was avoided this video because I had a feeling it would make me cry.
no kid should fear going to school ever.
Most kids do.
Even without guns...there is fear
"School stabbings" f
it sucks that we have to, and we are going to keep having to fear it until the government starts caring about it
I fear for my life everyday.
The worst part is my school thinks it’s so secure.
It never has even made us practice.
It hurts so much when you hear the “mommy/daddy” it just reinforces the fact that they’re children, they shouldn’t have to deal with this.
For real! I would be so scared in their shoes.
They aren't children just because they say that, they're just scared

Casey Heart
USA: kinder eggs are dangerous for kids
Santiago Colla Ok so I actually lean more towards pro-gun but since I’m neutral about it I thought it’d be a funny meme thAT IS A GOOD POINT AND I’M GONNA USE IT
Common Knowledge: The average civilian did not have access to high-power automatic military-grade weaponry during the "early-mid 1900". Drastic increase in the number of mass shootings, during the period in which automatic/fully-automatic guns became more available to the public.
Dumbasses (like Santiago Colla): Lemme pretend the Columbine shooting was the only mass shooting that happened in the past couple decades, and lemme also ignore all the proven statistics involving gun violence..
Bet you if the teachers were armed and trained professionals, we wouldn’t have this problem.
THANK YOU

Take action and start the fight to ban ARs.
Longview 25 it's our 2nd ammendment
Raiden 2135
The thing you knuckle fucks don’t understand is that we don’t want to take every gun. Are cause is far from that. ARs and the such are the only ones we want to ban. The second amendment doesn’t say you can’t take away our ARs it’s just says guns. And believe me you will have All the guns you want after we get rid of one type.
Longview 25 fine they can ban it but not our shotguns that's it

I’ll repair you for free, what part broke?

worst part you cant really do anything to stop it
I would be heartbroken and scared
As soon as she said she lost her brother I lost it. I couldn’t even imagine the pain
I have a little brother too i could‘t live without him
forreal sometimes i get scared for my little brother and i just imagine breaking and falling to the floor if he got hurt
He's brother couldn't have been more than 5 or 6...imagine that. It's so senseless, this whole gun thing
Gaby Mv Same, I feel even more scared because my brother has a learning disability and I feel as if he might not understand whats happening. He's in a classroom closest to start of the building. It scares me to think he could be in ANY danger. I'm literally crying as I write this because the thought of him or my other baby brother getting hurt makes me cry.
I couldnt imagine losing my sister
Imagine having to choose. Imagine you're in a school bathroom, and you hear the shooter(s) outside, so you run into a stall and lock it, and then you hear the shooter walking in, a flimsy door between you, and death.

1 in 614,000,000 these are the chances of dying in a school shooting. I actually didn't text my parents in the 3 lockdowns we had so far. Mostly because my parents would be scared and if the lines drop I would rather have someone with anxiety try to release it via text.

And women? Tf is that supposed to mean
So what's that going to do? Guns are a tool I give the gun a purpose if I want it for hunting it's for hunting but if it's for self defense then it's for self defense. Do you see what I'm getting at here? Just cause some crazy fucks want to go out and kill a bunch of people dosent mean the guns are going anywhere the real problem is with the media glorifying the crazy fucks it encourages other sad and desperate people to go out and do these because they think people might finally know who they are

When I was seven, I was sat down and told they my friend would not be coming back to visit. What I was too young to comprehend at the time was that my friend had died in the Sandy Hook shooting on December 14, 2012.
In 2018, American children were 3 times more likely to die during school hours than a soldier serving a 4 year term in Iraq or Afghanistan.
My generation goes to school every day in fear. We sit in our classrooms and subconsciously check where the best hiding spots will be.
This has to stop. For us. For our future generations. Please.

@Santiago Colla They just really shouldn't. Trust me, there is teachers with mess up mindset.
Santiago Colla Santiago Colla That is probably the reason people think it is okay for everyone to have access to guns. Because if they don’t have guns, how are they going to defend themselves? But if you can get a gun anyone could. And that person might use it to hurt innocent people. Lets say all college students have guns. That just gives more people an opportunity to be a school shooter. If no one had guns people wouldn’t need to defend themselves against school shooters. Because there would be none.

When I was in the 7th grade, there was a gang threat and this was one of the most dangerous and secretive gangs in our city. It was the second week I spent in America after leaving a traumatic past in the UK. They sent threats to the students and a gun was brought on campus. No one was injured, and no shots were fired, but let me tell you, that was traumatic.

This is why I want my school to let us have our phones how am I to say goodbye when I don’t have my phone
Exactly. Even if we’re in a lockdown and the teachers are telling us to put our phones away I’m going to put it at its lowest brightness and tell my family goodbye and that I love them. I really hope it never comes to that though.
My middle school never allows phones on us for ANY REASON. Heck, they have to check our binders during P.E 🤦🏽♀️ But I always sneak it in for safety purposes.
Right, I live a very southern area where most kids in the school have access to guns, the kids here are violent enough as it is
My school allows phones even on during lessons which I love. We can use them whenever basically unless it’s during a test or a teacher specifically asks for us to put them away for a certain lesson. Don’t know why so many schools ban them, my school gives us that freedom and in return we don’t abuse the power and listen when they ask us to put them in our bags. More schools should be like that, so sorry about your school that must suck. :(
@@Mr.Meowwww Meanwhile my high school wouldn’t even let us have our phones out during lunch, happened when I was a freshman, leaving middle school i thought that I’d be able to have a little bit more freedom, I just assume that we could have phones and technology out during lunchtime, I took my phone out on the patio and got it confiscated in a drop.

Same-
this is so scary, no one should be scared to go to school. this is terrible.
If only there's stricter gun regulations and proper drill and survival stuff.
Connie Ma what gun regulations? What possible thing do you think could make it better?
@@jellybean8698 There are laws that are in other countries the US doesn't have, like making it illegal to carry such weapons across states, can't get a gun if you have a history of criminal activity or mental illness for the past 5 years, can't have a gun in the same household with someone who has criminal activity or mental illness, etc.
^ These regulations might make it better.
But also with school drills, all we have are hard lockdowns. We just hide, which makes it worse.
If an intruder/shooter is in the building, it should be common sense to get out of the building as quickly as possible. There's even an official way to get out of the situation.
First things first: leave the building when possible. Hide (not in groups) if you can't escape. If you are alone and encounter the shooter, run in a zig-zag motion to make it harder to shoot. If you encounter the shooter in groups or larger numbers of people, get all of them to attack the shooter with all you got. The shooter would try to intimidate and place fear as much as possible; that's what they want. So don't give them what they want.
In fact, schools should really do a shooter drill like this.
Connie Ma one, those types of drills take lots of money and are a waste of time. Two, what does any of that have to do with gun laws? Do you know what it takes to own a firearm? Do you understand the stats? Have you studied the laws? Have you bought a gun? Do you own a gun?
@@jellybean8698
Do YOU know anything about it?
Drills shouldn't take money or a waste of time. And second, some people can easily buy guns without backgrounds checks in some places; some can buy guns with background checks and takes a rather long time to ship.
As an Australian the frustration I feel with America for not tightening their gun laws is so strong. So many lives would be saved.
the problem is, even if we had stricter gun laws, a mass shooter's gonna get hold of a weapon no matter what. they'll always have access to killing. the solution is figuring out that the "murderer" has mental problems and trying to help them or let someone know before they do what they do.
@@usi311 That's the same idea that the people that run the U.S. have. Little do they know that they're providing an avenue for people (EVEN KIDS) to get a hold of a gun and go on a rampage. If the u.s. government follows what the other countries are already doing - they wouldn't have this issue.
@@influentialtopic5487 I don't think you got @usi311 's point. He is saying if we follow other countries we won't get anything done because shootings are a mental problem.
Influential Topic fun fact, the US is not even in the top ten for the country with the most amount of mass shootings.
Like 200? Many more are saved by guns.

@@Iseeyou0165 well, some people just give you that vibe right off the bat that something isn't right with them.

wow the best dad of a year
Your dad is an absolute moron
@@kelavatopg you're right
@@shroast6990 Nah my dad is chill single mothers are the worst
this is only increasing my anxiety about going back to school next week.
dont stress ur self over that just focus on the near exits n pay attention to ppl
You shouldn’t worry, safety regulations have been updated since the shootings
@@anunknownperson4018 thank you
@@dittlydarnit3141 thx for telling me
@Santiago Colla ok
But 2019 it came back so much more powerful more people died and I am scared to go back to school
Rachel Pietsch it’s going to be okay
Or cover your body with anything possible.
dont be afraid just be nice to everyone
Santiago Colla there have been over 230 incidents of gunfire on school grounds in the US since 1999. There have been about 24 shootings in 2019 already. In 2018 there were around 103. That doesn’t feel very safe to me.
Santiago Colla I know some fears are irrational but I can’t help but think- what if? You never think it’ll happen until it does. I just hope the shootings will stop...
The fact that this was literally made 4 years ago and nothing has changed
I remember almost 20 years ago, two men in suits broke into our school and I was in 3rd grade. It was the first year we had any shooter drills like this, and I remember how terrifying it was. We were all crying, and it turned out to be a "prank," and the men were arrested, but I still so vividly remember how terrifying it was and there weren't even any gunshots or yelling.
I can't even imagine how scary it is going through an active shooting. These kids don't deserve this.
I recommend everyone to read the book: „the hate you give“ its a real eyeopener x my heart is with all of you 💕
Maya ! I've just finished it it gave me chills
Maya ! That's my favorite! I can't wait for the movie.
Saw it in a store some time ago. Sadly it was to expensive for me but i will buy it soon
What’s it about?
OMG, I was reading the book right now and then decided to watch this! Can't wait for the movie!
Isn’t it sad that now we live in a world where it’s “another day, another shooting, no surprise.” it’s so sad! I wish something could be done
Edit: Today’s August 31, otherwise known as like after a day I originally posted this comment, and there was a drive by shooting in Texas. 7 people died and 21 others were injured.
I mean things can’t be done because Republicans
It wasn’t just a drive by over 20 people were injured and 5 killed. An innocent girl’s life was taken. I am so glad my family nor I got hurt. Sending prayers out to everyone In Midland/Odessa.
Kierstyn Barrios you’re right. So unfortunate
Maddy R It really is I can’t imagine the pain of the families who lost their loved ones. Even worse there are some people posting a bloody picture of a girl who got shot,I get they wanna raise awareness but it’s disrespectful and sad. People close to me were gonna go to a restaurant that the shooter went to,luckily they didn’t. I just pray nothing like this happens again in Texas. Or anywhere.
Kierstyn Barrios I didn’t know that about the little girl, that’s really really sad. Is she one of the fatalities?
Also I’m so glad your family did not go out to eat. It’s a shame we live in a world like this

Her brother was name Daniel Barden. He was 7 years old
They say his family described him as "fearless in the pursuit of happiness in life."
I'm a European and school shootings are no big deal here because it barely happens. So it's even more shocking to see that children in other countries literally have to fear to go to school because they could been killed.
I can’t imagine being in a class looking over at my friends all with tears down their faces not knowing if we’re ever going to see each other again. Why is this the society that I have to live in? Why should have to fear for my life because a guy with a gun could in the door any minute. Why should I practice a drill that gives me a “chance” to live if someone decided to walk into a school of young, innocent children and shoot them. The horrors that kids have seen because of these shootings are incomparable. Why should I have to worry at looking over at my friend’s body on the ground, while he’s losing blood. But I know that I’ll never see him again. Why.
"But we're not going to beg for it anymore. We are going to demand it" 👊🏽
“Never again” - 4 years ago
I hate how poorly this has had to age. 😞
i remember when i was in fifth grade i was huddled under a desk crying and hugging my classmate as a stranger on campus roamed around our classes. my math teacher wouldn't lock the door and she wouldn't turn the lights off until a fifth grader himself did it while crying. everyday i'm thankful that the situation didn't escalate, but the fact my teacher didn't care, the parents weren't called, and that i was sat under that desk with a girl i barely knew crying into each other while writing out goodbyes on small scraps of paper for 2 hours speaks volumes. The fact that the 3 years later nothing has changed and my science teacher is telling us his own plans in case of a school shooter because the schools barely have one upsets me everyday. stay safe fellow students
:(
A man went into a elementary school and killed 26 kindergarteners
Now can we ban guns??????
No
Kaena Fox what would banning guns do? Do you actually think this will stop? America isn’t even in the top ten for the countries with the most amounts of mass shootings.
Murderer: Okay *pulls out knife*
Ivypool the kinda nice Mapleshade no one is killing 26 persons with a single knife tho, also they become way easier to tackle/stop
Jelly bean it’s still happening. Doesn’t matter if we are in the top ten.
Dang,she lost her brother in sandy hooks shooting what was that like 2011? I thought people could change I guess no one can actually change😔
2012*
“Whatever happens to me, no matter what I love you,” that really hit me in the heart 💔
STFU Gacha POS
I came here after watching, “If anything happens I love you” 😔❤️
NEVER AGAIN
It will happen
As soon as she said she lost her brother I went into tears, NEVER AGAIN
“If anything happens to me, no matter what. I love you...” I felt that...
It’s 2022 nothing has changed
I wish I would have texted my mom but I was to scared to go to my backpack to get my phone
I know that no one cares I just needed to say it
I’m in high school this year and it’s my biggest fear
Nikki Nicole Ya I thought about it happening but I never really expected it when I actually did.
@@Zoey-lt8rv I am so,so sorry you had to go through that.
I'm so sorry, I hope you and anyone you know never have to experience this again :(
This is why I have my phone on my at all times at school even though I'm not supposed to. I'm so sorry you were in a shooting. A student at my school threatened to shoot it up but it turned out to be a bogus threat, but I was so scared that day. All the teachers had paper over the windows and half of the kids didnt show up. I was petrified.
thank you teen vogue. just thank you. 👏🏻
You love this propaganda?
@@REAlREAction What?
this breaks my heart. no one should EVER have to send or receive a text like the ones in this video. my heart hurts for all those kids and anyone else who has been affected by gun violence.
I’m not even in America but this should never happen in any country or place.
I can’t believe some people are upset at having to think of stricter gun control. It’s disgusting and beyond me.
These things should never happen or started, I can’t believe after years we have this mass shooting again.
Nothing has changed, so many lives were lost and had so much potential.
Please America, make stricter gun controls. This is costing children’s futures.
this breaks my heart . young kids loosing there lives . this isn’t right man , we need to do something about this soon.
Bawling my eyes out. Such a beautiful video. Thank you Vogue for doing this and to all the brave students, know that you guys are not alone. Never again.
I feel so bad for the people, brothers, sisters, mothers, and fathers who have lost a child or children to anything, not just gun violence. These little Angel's didn't deserve it. :( God Bless their soul.
I HOPE NOBODY IN THIS COMMENT SECTION GOES THROUGH THIS GOD HEAR ME PLEASE MAKE SURE EVERYONES SAFE IN THIS
Thank you, you too 🙏
Now I am so glad that I live in Sweden, and I am so sad that this happens to people.
Lucky lmao
I wish I didn't live in the US since everyday I am fearful of my life Ó╭╮Ò
It's so sad and scray how any of us could die at any any moment and we don't know it
nobody should be afraid that they are going to die in their classroom. people are sickening
I get so terrified when i think what these people went throught. Sending my hugs to anyone who has ever lost anyone to these horrible persons guns.
Really tried to hold back my tears but when she said that she lost her brother i -
#NEVERAGAIN
Texas
#dontdoagain
That's what they said after the last one, and the one before that, and the one before that
#NEVERAGAIN
So horrifying to lose anyone like your friends,cousins,family...Why does the world have to be so cruel 😪😭
The power and emotion in their voices is so needed
i had chills throughout the whole video. it’s so heartbreaking that all these innocent lives are getting lost. rip to everyone :( #neveragain
imagine a parent reading the text over and over. Chills down there body. Thinking “this is all a dream” until a hour later there gone. Kids shouldn’t be scared to go to school.
This made me cry! I have a baby now and just imagining him sending a text like that to me breaks my heart. I just can’t believe things like this keep happening
God I’m so happy to have graduated before school shootings where common. I feel so bad for kids who have to grow up in this.
Isn’t it just sad people have to go through this just for going to school
2 shootings happened at my University a year apart, and it's sad to think that we're all bracing for the next one.
This is so powerful, I cannot even imagine how frightening this would be. How would I react? It’s just so viscerally terrifying
Imagine being the mother in this scenario...
