- On March 23, 2018, one day before the student-led “March for Our Lives” rally in Washington, D.C, the NPSC convened a congressional briefing on school violence where experts discussed topics ranging from early prevention efforts to reforms in laws and policies surrounding guns. Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student Lauren Hogg gave a first-hand account of the mass shooting that killed 17 people. She lost four friends that day.
4 years ago, countless testimonies, lots of activism, and nothing is being done. Uvalde is an example of how the system has failed us.
It's ashame that even with testimonies like this, lawmakers are still not budging to help prevent future attacks....sickening
It’s not happening to their kids so they don’t care smh
@@qtcarmen7d896 no they don’t. I remember when the Obama daughters were going to school surrounded by policemen, guards with huge guns!
Amen. 🙁
She's a beautiful speaker. She's got a bright future ahead of her. Stay strong Lauren. Peace and love to you all.
Is this the sister of that victims pimp David hoag?
She was not there. Her brother was not there.its been proven he is lying so is she
@@keithrowell8895 Really????
@@butterfly-ef8fx She keeps looking up and to her left. Watch her eyes. It’s a sign of not telling the truth. Neither she nor her brother attended funerals. If these were their friends, why did they choose not to go? I’ll tell you why. They were too busy appearing on CNN and MSNBC. It later came out that only 2 pictured on the Time magazine cover after that event were actually there. They were picked because of their “media appeal”. They wanted ratings and they sacrificed the truth to get it.
Watch the video where her brother went home to get his camera!
@@keithrowell8895 where’s the proof? A social media post? Lol. I get that some ppl can’t deal with the horrors of reality so they have to convince themselves it’s not true, but that’s no way to live. That’s unhealthy. Remember... Facts don’t care about your feelings.
Wow 14 years old and the way she speaks and explained everything was absolutely amazing. This is so beyond messed up that this was 4 years ago and there hasn’t been any change, just more awful shootings. Shootings are considered “rare” in countries that have stricter gun laws, why can’t we be one of them?!? 🙏
Why can’t people just stop shooting others? Why can’t we love more and hate less? Why can’t we reach out to people we see hurting? You say shootings are rare in other countries but what about being slashed to death by a machete, or being stabbed to death, or being burned alive or being pushed in front of a train or crashing a car into a crowd of people? It’s not about guns, it’s about mental health. The more the media shows all this, the more kids with depression want to upstage the last shooter. It’s a multi faceted. We did not have school shootings until life like shooter video games came along but guns have been around since America was founded. I’m not sure what the solution is, but if you read the Bible, things will only get worse until Jesus comes back.
@@ashleyr.6953 that’s true however guns have been around forever, the school shootings are a relatively recent phenomenon, so what has changed? People can get guns, drugs, alcohol, or whatever else that is illegal to them if they really want. So what kind of restrictions do you propose other than banning all guns?
@@kellymcdonell9687 you make some good points. I never thought about it that way & I totally agree about the mental health aspect. However these mass shootings are completely out of control & stricter gun laws would be a portion of the solution. That’s not to say some won’t turn to other forms of violence but generally speaking the amount of people they are able to murder in a matter of seconds is far more w/ their AR-15 style rifles.
Exactly!!! We need more voices I think nothing will change until we all come together and stand up. Teachers have to refuse to teach students refuse to attend school until there’s a change. If not the list will go on more patents Will sorrow more lives will be lost and more names will add on.
@@joesteel1329 we need to make changes to all these schools..the amount of accessible doors for these terrorists to come through is idiotic. Yes we need many exits because of fire drills but those doors should only be exit only and reinforced. I know people hate metal detectors but that's also something that needs to go into all of these schools. Also mental health has got to become a priority. A test needs to be administered to the students on the regular basis that will red flag any student who is suffering from any type of mental illness as well as abuse that they might be suffering at home. Why can't we do that? Some of these ways to help protect our children are very simple. Also I know it is not popular but I feel as though we need to arm our teachers. If we have teachers that are willing to go through the training then I think they should have every right as an American to protect themselves and those around them. I think if these School shooters knew that there were armed teachers within the school it could be a huge deterrent. Also attacking our right to bear arms is going to do nothing but embolden the criminals. Criminals will get a hold of a legal guns no matter what. That's a known fact. In the Columbine shooting they wanted to use bombs to take out 400 students in the cafeteria. Guns aren't the only things that we have to worry about but it seems like that's all the government ever wants to talk about. They never want to talk about the bigger issue which is mental health.
Wow! What a superstar. This articulate angel is going to help a lot of people in her life. Thank God for her.
B U. L. L. S. H. I. T.
I whole heartily agree. These programs in school are needed and should begin by 6 th Grade. Too many children raised by careless parents, single parent homes without enough help. Drug related homes. It's caught up with us America. Let's figure this out. Get these classes going, let's help our children...
Stay strong Lauren you got lots of love here for you.
I agree Mental health education is a must in schools these days. It will save many life’s. 🙏🧐
More therapists and social workers = a better world.
And education for whatever systems can improve and fund those resources cuz those systems are failing in many states
But instead mental health is taboo to discuss
I love that she spoke about mental health and I truly believe that if schools incorporated mental health education and also had more counseling and counselors available and even if some big schools such as the one in Parkland didn’t have so many students maybe they built and sister school and split the amount of students the faculty could bear the weight of all the students. Where I live we don’t even have half the amount of students in the schools here because there are so many different schools. We have about 6 elementary schools in our county four middle schools and 4 high schools. And the county isn’t large so there’s maybe approx 500 students in my sons high school if that. But over 3,000 students!? That’s a lot! If they’re going to have that many students they must provide the proper amount of faculty especially counselors needed. The taxes paid should cover most school needs!
What a powerful amazing voice you are!❤️ It is time for a change people!!!🤬 I lost One of my family members in the shooting nightmare!!!🤬 something has got to change.
Very nice and very well said. Bless you
She is such a wonderful speaker and brilliant mind. I pray these students and families find peace
Great job Lauren love you
She is amazing. I am so sorry we all recognize such strength and grace coming from a place of tragedy. You are one strong and wise beyond your years young lady. I pray you are doing well, and continue to persevere. God bless.🕊
Thank you, Lauren. Ty, ty.
Well said so so sorry she had to go through something like this
So heartbreaking to listen to a 14 year old having to tell us what she went through. Lauren is an amazing, beautiful speaker & strong young lady. 😢❤️
life is precious, stay safe and strong out there
I am crying! Why would anyone in school go through this horrible shooting experience! I cannot imagine it!
Yes bravo Mental Health in the curriculum would def help. Well done young lady.
a lot of you are being very disrespectful. i can tell you for a fact this was real. i could literally give you the instagram of someone who was killed because my friend still comments on his page to this day. i could tell you that several dance studios around florida wore orange ribbons for jaime because she was a member of our dance community. but you will still continue to disrespect these VICTIMS and their loved ones. please do not dumb down real lives that were stolen at the hands of someone else. listen to their rxperiences and stop running away from how hard it is to accept it. this is real.
you are fullofshit
@shark .....finally,...someone with a brain, thank you, sir.
Give me a break. O boo hoo. More lies
@@keithrowell8895 seriously, grow up and get a grasp on what’s happening in the world. People are DYING and you’re going around making jokes about it. If this were you or one of your family members you certainly wouldn’t be, show some respect
@@nepkitoon. It's cald the 1st amendment. You might want to read the constitution. Freedom of speech. O boo hoo. Must all be little girl feelings hurt 😪
Bravo 🙌🏽
Incredibly articulate and insightful for a 14 year old. Amazing how she held it together. Very admirable.
God bless you Lauren and the strength you have to advocate on all these issues. I’m so so sorry for the trauma you had to go through. You’re right, no kid should have to go through this. I hope your campaign is successful. Love, prayers and best wishes to you, your family and all those affected.
Very smart young lady.
i was in brevard county , and i remember going to cocoa high & it was my very first day at the school , Valentines Day & i remember they had a fire alarm drill & after school i remember how big this news was in Florida , this was such a big topic , & it was so heartbreaking
My Dear Lauren,
You are wise beyond your years. You are so right about mental health. You are so right, no child should have to go through the horror of what you and your friends went through that day. Mental health and treatment is more important than physical education, and sexual education. I hope the educational departments take Mental Health more serious. Things need to change. People need to be kind to their friends as well as the people they don't know. I believe that you can help make a difference. May much love and peace follow you through your path of life. And all children deserve the right to Mental Health knowledge and Mental Health treatment. ❤️
Brilliant intelligent and firm 👍 well done x
May god blessed y'all 🙏🙏🙏 for you're friends and students that you're knew that didn't make it so much 😭😭 god blessed y'all 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Such a horrible situation. When they realized it wasn’t a joke was probably the worst feeling.
So articulate and mature for her age, delivering that account of going through such horror, and she looks so much like one of my nieces which makes it even more poignant to watch
Amazing young lady. Just think now she’s in college or pst secondary Ed. I can’t wait to see how she’ll impact the world!!
This girl is someone great and in the future she will be much greater ! Beautiful speaker.
Oh she ATE that up yes ma'am thank you for using your voice
Blesss her heart . Gun lobbyists need to listen up
She is good at speaking. She isn't reading either. Horrible experience to have to go through.
I have soooooooo many questions
During high school you feel like your friends are your family. This school was there other home. Imagine being in your room at home hiding while on the other side of your home your being told your family members are on the floor and there's nothing you can do. This shouldn't happen. What's stopping anyone right now from walking into a school and doing whatever they desire. Uvalde happened because no one in power learned from this. It's like they're playing a monopoly game with our lives. I'm glad to have made it out of hs and no longer have to worry about this until the day I adopt a child. I hope they still don't have to worry about this but probably will have to still.
Just when you think this massacre couldn't get worse, it does. All I can do is sit here in shock what pain this victim and her friends experienced that day. She says it beautifully what needs to be said.
Then to say the obvious, all student's should be required to take mental health education like physical education. Also require the class resources like a social worker to be available and accessable, and provided at the students request for help. That age is still impressionable enough to get them help to learn to cope with being bullied at school, and at home, by their own family. Then talk about having difficulty concentrating on your lesson's and distracted from studying, thereby, getting poor grades. It's a snowball effect when you are young and feel all alone and forced to grow up and make adult decision's because their parents aren't involved at all what is going on in their kid's life.
Great speech! GET MENTAL HEALTH HELP IN SCHOOLS!
Clever young lady . I wish the best for her
4 years later....where are we now?
What floor were Lauren and her Brother on?? We’re they in the 1200 building?
Mental health is why I home schooled.
I’m watching this almost three months after the Uvalde, TX shooting and I’m sick to my stomach. This time, younger kids and more of them were once again murdered with the same style of weapon and by another mad individual shy of 21 years of age. It seems like it’ll never stop; on the contrary things will get so much worse. God bless our children.
Wow God help us.
Yes to mental health education!
This should never happen to kids! I am so upset!
yes go off girl ! mental health is where it starts and where it all ends x
Her words hold so much power. The way she speaks feels as if she’s speaking right to you. They way she presents herself and speaks is amazingly beautiful ❤️ hold your friends and loved ones tight the world is full of so much evil 😕
When will Americans value human life including childrens’ to be more important than a constitutional right???
Actors and blanks being fired? WHAT !!!
Supposedly there was talk of a DRILL that would use actors and blanks at some point.. She assumed that's what was happening at first. This young lady had good intuition and stuck with her intuition.
My school had a lockdown drill training with police officer and fellow teachers as actors, but there were no blanks fired. It was very scary but good practice for a real event.
I was crying listening to this young woman! How could anyone do anything to high school kids? So sick!
So brave
What a strong woman!
The GQP be like, "We aren't supporting jack!"
I'm so proud of her brother for his as his fellow survivors' response to the gun crisis. They helped defeat several NRA-backed candidates in the 2018 midterms and then David showed incredible restraint while being badgered by Marjorie Taylor-Greene. Zoomers should not be underestimated because they're already making a crucial difference!!
It’s terrifying that ulvade just happened . What the fuck are we doing !????
Her point a out needing more counselors wasn't presented well. She says only 18 seek counseling. That's not very many of there's 1 counselor for every 170 students. Bc 170 students aren't using the service, only 18 are.
i need more tissue
Who
How impressive and intelligent this young lady is. What a great idea to introduce mental health in the school curriculum. The only problem with that is leaving a door wide open to indoctrination because so many in that field have mental issues, too. It would be a very important, yet very delicate subject and how to implement it. Still, not a bad idea worth looking into.
😢😭🙏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻
I totally believe that this shooting happened, no doubt. I don’t want to be disrespectful, but for some reason, her testimony sounds rehearsed and not real. The reason I came to the comments, was to see if I was wrong for thinking this. Like I said, I don’t want to be disrespectful.
If you were going to be given the chance to speak publicly about something that deeply affected your life and the lives of many others and you had suggestions for how to reduce harm going forward, wouldn't you write it down and try to get everything you wanted to say in order in your head before the date and time of the speaking opportunity? Just because she came prepared and had given it a lot of thought and rehearsed to help herself keep her composure, doesn't mean she's not being real. It's like when people speak at a funeral service. They usually prepare ahead of time and rehearse so they don't go on a rant or ramble or break down crying or say something inappropriate. It's out of respect for the dead and the families. Doesn't mean what they're saying or how they feel isn't real.
This young lady was in a film and acting class. She already knows how to speak, and please note she is not reading. This speech is directly from her heart.
If I were giving a first hand account about something of this magnitude, I would definitely plan out my wording before hand and try to make my testimony as powerful as I could. It’s really important to not let your testimony fall on deaf ears when it comes to Something of this magnitude. And she presented her account of that day like this for that reason.
Definitely wrong. Any person publicly speaking is going to prepare themselves. But her trauma is very real you can hear the emotion in her testimony.
No doubt it was fricking rehearsed! What a stupid thing to say! 🤡
She had a chance to share some real concerns and be the voice of her peers. Of course she's going to come prepared as ALL public speakers do and take advantage of the opportunity made available to her! 🙄
Anybody at any age, could only hope to speak publicly with as much intelligence, such confidence, poise and with the eloquence that she does! Don't be trying to find fault because you're intimidated by a 14yr old! 😣
Wow, pretty articulate for 14 years old. We owe them..to do better.
Was there an NRA representative in that meeting?
Arm the teachers and make sure you train them so they are prepared to shoot a gun man.
If you really think that every child in school in USA should be safe, then you should vote for stricter gun laws.
We need a change and we need it now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wake up Americans this is not the last nor the first it can be our children next when will we stand up will we stand up until we as well weep like the parents that are weeping and grieving now. No one understands until it hits home until it’s one of our own.😡😞
I teach 11 to 16 yrs . We gun crime but not so much in our schools. Dunblanne was the end off it. Stabbing yea. This poor girl. Its is mental what sane person thinks of this. Best wishes to all family. Absolutely nothing I or anybody could say to make it any easier x x x x
Seem like now a day online classes it's much better
11 year old girl got shot while inside the house. Gangs targeted the wrong house. Too easy to kill with a gun. Criminals can kill from outside.
I am asking my Lord Jesus Christ to touch Lauren Hogg and bring complete healing to her.
Wasn't David speaking out about Sandy Hook way back then? 🤔
Maybe because he was like 8 years old
Fake code red at a random time that’s something that should of had a specific date
Sometimes they do that because it is different to do a drill without notice as it is more real and better practice
The gun free school zone act needs to be repealed.
Mental health education is a great idea.
They require that in college.
It's part of required Health class
There needs to be a bulletproof bunker with a lockdown/emergency code inside every classroom inside the United States. No matter how costly it is. Something has to give if the gun laws/enforcement won’t change. This would literally be life changing. 2 classrooms should be connected via a door inside the room so there can be a connecting bunker in the middle so everybody can stay safe at all times. Bulletproof doors, windows, everything. This is horrific.
Well.....people need ar 15s you know...for social media posts and stuff. .....bc thats pretty much all it is ....just like their big trucks....its a status thing. Look at me look at what i have.
I have heard the victim's testimony during trial made me cry but this just feels like it's rehearsal for the agenda....same as how hee brother comes across....I know people will be upset at my comment but it's just how I feel it's coming through
Shame on the guy next to her. Falling asleep !!!!!!!
Smarter than most.
The sheepish look from the guy on the right at the end SEEMS to say, “My God, she just summarized what our school board, the PTA, the PD, the Dept of public safety, homeland security,the government, the medical community…etc…have not been able to succinctly summarize in decades!🤯”
Articulate young lady, brave and courageous.But its the USA so nothing will change.

So the shooting happened in another building that you weren’t in ? Plus her being in a school shooting doesn’t mean that she has some kind of wisdom this Lady talks too much !
honestly dude you sound stupid. were you there? you’re in no place to say her feelings or her trauma is invalid.
...that is because this was just another DHS-gungrab production.
U certainly talk too much 🤢
You can be affected by a shooting near you. She most likely had friends or even her brother could have been in there. You gain most knowledge and wisdom from traumatic situations. People like you talk too fucking much
@@suspish2240 huh what wisdom has she spoken then ? What have you gained from hearing her talk ? Nothing 😂 see ? Think before you comment my guy
It is traumatizing. Agreed. But what scares me every day is driving on the road with other teenage drivers in oncoming traffic on a 2-lane highway while they are busy texting and cross the center line. Nearly hitting my car, almost EVERY DAY. Just think. a 5,000lb vehicle traveling 70mph at me. Not saying you are wrong. Just saying that you should think about the whole picture of the Moral compass of Society. A firearm is just 1 drop in the bucket to the many deaths that happen on the road each and EVERY DAY vs firearms.
@@angelmendoza754 There's a lot more to it than that. Firearms are not the culprit. I do get your point though and agree with what you've said.

How could she hear screaming when she was talking to her brother? When according to him, he was 3 miles away grabbing his camera and his bike.
Fake crying not a tear in her eye
Professional American he said he was at school he did film what he was experiencing but then he went in front of the news and got his camera after he went home
Keep posting, patriot. the truth will out, even to the brainwashed sheep eventually.
there was a point where her brother was in a culinary classroom.
he also mentioned he was with about 40 other students in that classroom. and these kids are probably numb. you have literally no place to say anything, some people cry and some people don’t, that doesn’t make their experience any less.
@@rosedavies4175 so he recorded before running home for his camera? Ok 🤡.

We don't get to see David Hogg or their FBI father much anymore eh? I guess people got too freaked out by those nasty looking specimens. Notice the guy on the right can't stop smiling. I guess he is enjoying the show. Duper's delight.

I think it's more that he is impressed by the things she said and her bravery at her age to say those things.

It will be a cold day in hell before a child tells me what is good for me. You haven't lived long enough to make decisions for me. You say mental health then my question is this how do you explain the reports that said that Cruz had been bullied? No I am not saying he was justified in what he did. So if you were bullied would you take action? Why is it kids are being used to talk to me? The last time I tried to carry on a regular conversation with my 17 yr old he thought he would give me advice.
Bitch mental health and bullying can co-exist. Cruz was reported to the fbi and still got a fucking ar-15 there’s your problem
