Youth Firearm-Safety Education
A My Pen Still Has Ink LLC Program

SEE IT. LEAVE IT. TELL IT.

Youth firearm-safety education through spoken word and age-appropriate conversation.

Created by De'Ashia Wallace, known artistically as AJ P.R., SEE IT. LEAVE IT. TELL IT. is a developing educational campaign designed to help schools and community organizations open practical conversations about firearm exposure, safer choices, and reaching trusted adults.

Developing Program · Pilot & Partnership Conversations Welcome
Action 01

SEE IT.

Recognize that a firearm may present serious danger.

Do not approach it simply because it has been noticed.

Action 02

LEAVE IT.

Move away rather than touching, handling, or investigating it.

Distance is part of making a safer choice.

Action 03

TELL IT.

Tell a trusted adult so the situation can be addressed appropriately.

Young people should not be expected to manage firearm risk themselves.

Youth education is only one part of prevention.

Adult responsibility and secure firearm storage remain central to reducing youth access and preventing harm.

Campaign Overview

Simple language for a serious conversation.

SEE IT. LEAVE IT. TELL IT. is being developed as an accessible way to begin firearm-safety conversations with young people without asking children to take responsibility for adult safety obligations.

The campaign uses spoken word, age-appropriate conversation, and community education to reinforce a clear response: recognize potential danger, create distance, and reach a trusted adult.

Programs may be adapted around age group, school or organizational setting, available time, audience needs, host policy, and the goals of the participating organization.

This public website provides an overview of the campaign only. Detailed curriculum, scenarios, facilitator materials, surveys, worksheets, unpublished creative work, and internal program resources are not published here.
