Good Morning America
PHOTO: Jackie Hegarty is a survivor of the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. I, myself, was afraid to show my emotions. I felt like keeping my composure was the only thing that was going to get me through the long days. So I bottled things up. I tried not to think about it, I pushed it away to try to live my life as a"normal kid."
I think the biggest thing I want to stress is that everyone's trauma is different. Don't invalidate your trauma just because"other people" have it worse, or that other people deserve to have a stronger response. Trauma is not a scale, we can't just rank tragic experiences. Two people who had been present at the same event of gun violence can have drastically different experiences.
Not even an hour after finding out about my sister's passing, the media had gotten my number. My phone was buzzing almost every second, to the point my phone started glitching. A day later, they found our house. You'll learn that you may have a love/hate relationship with the media. It can be frustrating at times, but they are the people that are going to get your story out, if you want it out. Honestly though, not all media will be sensitive to your situation.
You just need to remember those people don't know you, and it's just some random person who probably has nothing better to do. The good part of social media is that, a majority of the time, the love and support outweighs the hate.

One of the most difficult parts of this journey was figuring out how to navigate returning to school. I still had to finish the remainder of my sophomore year, junior year, and senior year. Classes were no longer the main focus but figuring out how to move forward was constantly on my mind. I struggled to even walk into the building at first or go near the parts of the building that reminded me of what happened.
NO way ever to try to console these families and friends? Never forget their beloved children and WHY? Sick people we have and no one is getting the help? We have gotten rid of mental places WHY when very sick and need this? I am an RN in training saw how sick one can be?
That 900 number includes the shootings in which the person with a gun shot himself and no one else. It also includes the shootings in which the gunman fired his gun but got tackled without being able to shoot anyone.
And school shooting deaths are still rarer than powerball Jackpot winners. We get your have an agenda.
Sad statistics for sure. :(
“More than 900 school shootings have taken place in the United States in the 10 years since the Dec. 14, 2012, mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School” Mandatory sentencing for illegal possession of a firearm. 10 year minimum. Every gun owner will get behind it.
