As a mother to 2 boys, gender doesn’t discriminate!! We need to help these children understand the gravity of talking to strangers online— even if they appear to be real.. even through Gaming platforms.
Kayleigh supported: Pass Hailey’s Law: "Pink Alert" and Mandated Grooming Awareness Education in Schools
As a girl around the same age of Hailey, this needs to be brought up in all schools, to bring awareness to not just children but teens and adults. Hailey didn’t deserve this , no one does.
Lyla supported: Pass Hailey’s Law: "Pink Alert" and Mandated Grooming Awareness Education in SchoolsEducation is where change begins, absolutely every young woman should know the warning signs for grooming and abuse. As a mother myself teaching stranger danger is an obvious one but educating a teenager on these warning signs is often overlooked because violence in relationships and grooming seems rare until it’s someone you know.
Zoey supported: Pass Hailey’s Law: "Pink Alert" and Mandated Grooming Awareness Education in SchoolsA lot of this is caused by PALY and the parents at PALY. As a former paly student, I can attest that paly is insanely difficult. Not only are the classes like 1.5 or 2 times as hard as normal high schools, it is also expected that you get straight As instead of Bs and Cs (like normal schools). This is because parents pushed for harder classes, and maybe even because the school board wants to make more money by having higher scores. Also, parents don’t step up because they think “oh my child would never do this” “oh they’d tell me” “oh I could fix their mental health”. No. Maybe some, but not all. For every kid that kills themself, 50 more are struggling with depression, and 200 more are stressed and overwhelmed. Sure, paly students generally go on to have better careers than the average student, but what about the sacrifices? What about the people who burnout in HS or college? What about the many who don’t even care about the advanced courses they do? I’m sure every paly student reading this knows friends whose parents made them take advanced courses that they hate. I wonder how many go on to struggle with mental health for their whole life (however short it may end up being). And you know what’s sad? The school doesn’t even care. It’s their policy to mention it once, because it’s too obvious to hide, then never speak of it again. Paly ASB isn’t even allowed to hold memorials because the idea is to make people “forget about it”. The school thinks that by ignoring the dead student’s life and pain, they prevent suicides, but all they do is tell students how little a student’s life is worth. If a literal child dies, their life is worth a single message to all of the students (which chatGPT said was polished with AI) and that’s it. You know who didn’t “forget” about Ash’s suicide? The person who just killed herself. It was her number one reason to do it. Maybe if the school had respected Ash’s death, she could have found more peace with it. Maybe if she was able to get actual school therapy she wouldn’t have killed herself. Maybe if the meager “mental help” the school offers didn’t have a reputation for notifying parents, she would have sought help. Maybe if she had actual free time (a rare commodity for a paly student) she could have had time for school therapy, or time to mentally recuperate. Maybe if the school had even bothered to change a single thing after Ash’s death, Summer would still be here. But she’s not. And she will never come back.
Brooke supported: Petition for Active Suicide Prevention at PAUSDThis was a man who was murdered for using his first amendment right to freedom of speech. He never hurt anyone, he gave a platform and a voice for anyone to speak, and all he wanted was to have healthy debates, hear the voices of the youth, try and educate and spread his knowledge, and make this country a better place. He was a father, a husband, a son, a mentor, and an inspiration. Whether you agreed with his views or not, he didn’t deserve to die this way or have his death be celebrated and mocked. He was a good, kind person. I myself didn’t agree with everything he said, but I know his intentions behind it all were good, and he just wanted to speak his truth and his faith. He deserves to have this day memorialized, not just because of all he did in his life time for the American youth, but because we cannot let ourselves forget this tragedy. We cannot forget how people who have a certain view or political leaning and voice it are killed as a result. They were scared of Charlie, of his voice, his power, that’s why they killed him. His brilliant mind was once in a generation. He will never be forgotten, and his voice will carry on through us who followed him and learned from him and we’re changed by him. Rest easy Charlie.
Daniela supported: A National Memorial Day for Charlie Kirk: Choosing Dialogue Over DivisionThis man was extremely brave for standing up to thousands of people and stating facts. I understand that some people don’t like him but that doesn’t give ANYONE the right to take his life. Now his family have to go without him. From someone who’s lost their mom and dad, it’s very hard and these poor babies with struggle for the rest of their lives. He made such a difference in so many different ways and helped so many different people. He deserves to be remembered for everything that he has done!
Raevin supported: A National Memorial Day for Charlie Kirk: Choosing Dialogue Over Divisionthis petition page is a scam. It has a button which says disagree, which I pushed because although I think it was wrong to assassinate Charlie Kirk, I don’t think that makes him a hero deserving his own memorial day. I clicked on the disagree button, and that was counted as a vote in favor of the petition. That is a scam.
William T supported: A National Memorial Day for Charlie Kirk: Choosing Dialogue Over DivisionHe did not deserve for having his voice heard! His family is left without him because someone disagreed! This is a country that stands on freedom of speech but.. he was killed for his.. it’s wrong. JUSTICE OF CHARLIE and JUSTICE FOR HIS FAMILY a great man who impacted my life along with many others!! He will be missed!
