Parkland Student Maia Hebron On Survivor’s Guilt: ‘It’s Unreal...To Keep On Living’ | PeopleTV

As the horrific violence became apparent, senior Maia Hebron thought immediately of her sister, Eden, elsewhere on the campus, “because I had just turned 18, but I had a 14-year-old sister who was just starting her high school experience,” she says in the video above. “Finally my mom calls me and said parents of children in Eden’s class just said that she’s okay. I told my mom, ‘Forget about me. I’m fine. I’m safe. Take care of my sister.'"

In the days and weeks afterward, as students and families grieved and returned to class, many of the teens who attend the Parkland, Florida, high school have been speaking out about their experiences and demanding there be changes in gun safety legislation so that something like this can never happen again.

I hope everyone realizes in the comments down there that psychologically speaking, she’s looking around trying to connect broken memories. Memories are never concrete, the brain has to reconstruct what it believes happened and the best way to communicate the memories in a solid fashion. So the pieces that are vague like “walking along” is her brain trying to fill in the gapes to what she DOES remember. So the concrete statements she makes are the fragments of the event that her memory retained long term. Even your memories are fragments of what you do remember and what you don’t about daily occurrences. Quit spouting none sense about actors and fake news. -Psychology Major

Invest N Invent dude. That’s actually pretty genius. Think of other circumstances too.. proving that a person’s specific gun was in the area of the crime, linking them to it... officers knowing if someone is armed when they’re confronting someone... how many lives could this save? How many more people could be brought to justice through this simple tech?

Obviously there are some possible drawbacks but the idea is pretty darn cool

Can we talk about the freshman who first came in contact with him while he was loading the gun! That's who I want to hear from I'm sure he has survivors guilt.

[@loverbear23]

probably tbh, he probably was the one who called the cops

[@jamesford2160]

He ran to get the coach and as soon as the coach opened the doors, he was killed.

[@jadejagaines3699]

Right! Once you get that gut feeling that something isn’t right....something isn’t right

[@bellamarie9903]

I didn't go to that school but i remember hearing about it on the news and how he used the fire alarm as a decoy to get people out. it sickened me and i felt so bad for those people. A couple of days later, I had been having an eerie feeling when suddenly a fire alarm went off... I was in my science class. I was so scared and almost never even walked out of that class, afraid that something similar might happen. My school had also been receiving bomb threats so of course I was wary of it. Thankfully, nothing bad happened though but the fact that a possible school shooting was the first thing to pop up in my mind or the fact that everywhere I go, I make sure to scope out all escape routes is just sad. We shouldn't have to go somewhere and think that it could potentially be the last place we ever see...

[@brookelaforest8432]

I live in Florida and when this happened they made us do drills where we stayed in the classroom when the fire alarm went off

[@emmalynnepplett478]

i live in michigan and we do that now as well. our fire alarm went off on its own a couple times and everyone was kinda sketched out but it ended up just being the fire alarm going off for no reason.

[@maryly2688]

Brooke Laforest yeah we do this too and I live in Wisconsin

[@stormy7334]

a few months after this had happened the fire alarm went off at my school during passing period & all the teachers just started rushing kids into classes ): & all the kids were rushing each other to go because everyone knew of parkland. I cant imagine what it feels like to actually go through it

I'm a liberal but I support the 2nd amendment. However, I do believe it's a bit ridiculous that people like Cruz can and have purchased guns legally. More extensive background checks and psychiatric evaluations need to be in order!!!

[@wesleydebow3880]

Finally a liberal with a brain. I am conservative, and fully support the second amendment, but i agree that their should be a ton of background checks. I live in Georgia, and we have minimal checks here. That is kinda scary.

[@wesleydebow3880]

@Lester Scruggs How so? They don't check people for mental instability, past criminal record, or even their birth certificate! All they have to do is show to a class, sign their name (or alias), and they get their license!

[@wesleydebow3880]

@Lester Scruggs Method of checking mental stability: other states, such as my native Texas, perform a search that goes way back into your elementary years, for signs of enhanced aggression, uneven temperament, multiple personality disorder, or psychopathic tendencies.

[@wesleydebow3880]

@Lester Scruggs Shit man. I'm am not like the other 99% of people on the internet, and can realize when someone presents a better argument. Thank you sir, for shifting my view. I truly appreciate it.

I don’t get how Americans ban kinder eggs bc kids choke on them but they cannot control there guns.

You are absolutely correct! America is often the land of "'too much" freedom! But there are many places that have no freedom at all. Not sure where the middle ground is!

My band teacher taught at a school that almost had a shooting I forgot what school there was a girl named Bella he noticed she was acting odd and he stopped her at the end of class and asked what was wrong she said the boys name I forget it she said he has a gun and he was pointing it at me and you the entire time

[@georgiaderousse760]

The fact that a school was shot up was not the media’s fault. They gave her a platform to say her side of the story so people can be thankful for their family. If she felt connected to a political movement after what she went through then she does and that’s her choice and she has the right to express that. It doesn’t matter if it was for or against gun control its her way of expressing herself and we need to just support each other in times like this. It’s unfair to call her out for being against guns when you have probably never experienced anything like this. This is her platform not yours and she deserves to have a voice.

For everyone saying she's reading a script: she probably is. If i had to go in, i would make a script because thinking of something that horrible and having to say it... i just can't even imagine. She probably has PTSD from that. Think of one of your most traumatic experiences, and just imagine how hard it must be to relive it and think about it as you talk. While a script wont totally help this, you won't start breaking down at the first word.

[@willworkforyarn4893]

It shouldn't matter if it was " scripted" or not. She was there. She lived through it. Perhaps she couldn't find the right words or feel confident enough. People think they know exactly what and how survivors should react. They are just ignorant if they can't even imagine living through such a horrific ordeal! That is why the laws are still not right! You understand better than them!!
