Sandy Hook were young children. They were unable to advocate for change on their own. High-school students can and are advocating for change. I don't see them forgetting about this or letting it go. They get told all the time they need to grow up and be mature. I think they will take that to heart and fight for the right to be safe. We, as adults, have that responsibility but they have rightfully figured out we have forsaken it. They are scared, and angry, and fed up and they have a lot of support. I'll do what I can to support them and I believe the rest of us will as well.
