In Their Own Words: Christian Teens on School Shootings

A month after the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, several members of a high school youth group from First Baptist Church in Duluth, Georgia, sat down with reporter Maina Mwaura.

We wanted to know what your average teen in youth group thought about the shooting and how they were handling it. The conversation both surprised and saddened us. At times lighthearted and encouraging, and other times heavy, the students waded through their reaction to the shooting, the fall out they witnessed on social media, and how they and their friends are responding to school walkouts and protests.
