        I hereby pledge as an aging Millenial (I'm 32) to never start a sentence describing the generation following mine with the phrase "Kids these dsys..." unless it's proceeding a description of just how awesome they are. ❤

        Please don’t say that, it puts too much of a burden on them. It shouldn’t all be on their shoulders to save us. Instead, let them inspire us to save ourselves.

        They can handle it. If we keep leading by example. If we keep showing them the way. They're stronger & wiser than we give them credit for.

        How young is too young to let children be children? They are not born adults and should have the innocence of their youth that the rest of us had. This is sad. #NoGunsInSchools

        Many children around the world and in the US are not allowed to have "innocence of their youth". Black children get "the talk" early. There are children mining for your iPhone components, picking coffee, chocolate, etc. "Innocence" is a luxury.

        Thanks to all these children. They did all what they can do. Now, it's their parents and representatives turn. One century ago,Vladimir Lenin said : our children will fight better than us.

        I have so many feelings right now. Proud of these kids, and so very ashamed of all the adults who failed over and over to take *any* action. I’ve got a daughter around that age, kids understand far more than we give them credit for.
