How old is cassie from flyleaf

Unfortunately we'll never know if Cassie was one of the ones who was directly asked if she believed in God. Wikipedia is not that reliable, since viewers can change it. The point of the song still gets across though, and the meaning is standing up for your faith. I'm not really sure what the song means but i think that it is so powerful and if it is about the Columbine shootings then it is such a beautiful song and flyleaf are incredible for writing about an incident that affected everybody.

I'm not saying that anyone is wrong, just that it probably is about Cassie. Eric and Dylan were obsessed with the murder, they got so into it not only did they draw images and write about how the massacre would be, they got online and looked up how to make pipe bombs and other explosives. They wanted to kill hundreds of people and planned on killing at least by am. The original plan was to put bombs and explosives in the lunch room timed to explode at and shoot any, and all of the survivors that came running out.

There is some discrepancy whether the original date planned for the massacre was to be April 19th or April 20th. I love this song and it reminds me of someone i miss dearly. He wasnt afraid to stand up for what he believed in :. I have to agree with Angie The fact that the two boys were bullied plays no part in thier actions. Dylan and Eric made it a plan to comitt premeditated murder.

No one placed the weapons in thier hands, no one told them to kill 13 people in cold blood, and no one helped them pull the trigger. Thier actions were planned and thought out and blame can rest only on the souls of Dylan and Eric. Yes this song was wrote about Cassie Bernall,but unfourtunately it is not true. Cassie was mistaken for another girl in the library by the name of Valeen Schnurr. Valeen Schnurr, had been hiding. Schnurr's mother says Valeen was lying wounded on the library floor and was praying when one of the gunmen approached her and asked if she believed in God,supposedly she replied by saying, "Yes, I believe in God.

Another source said Valeen was saying, "Oh, my God, oh, my God, don't let me die," when one of the gunmen asked her if she believed in God. She said "yes" and was then asked why. He spared her life. She survived the massacre, but she was injured. Nobody at Columbine was killed for being a Christian. Despite all that, I still like this song. Because Valeen wasn't spared. She survived.

General Comment Actually, there is a book out about this. Its called She said yes. Through her youth group she found peace and a purpose in life. I don't think there would have been a published book out about this if it was just some made up story. General Comment columbine General Comment The first time i heard this song i knew it was about columbine General Comment okay for all you stupid people that think that columbine was a theory or fake or whatever else.

The song Cassie was about Cassie Bernall who was infact shot because she believed in god. That happend to a kid named issah shoels.

A friend of mine was actually baby sat by Cassie when he was younger. I heard it was from Columbine someone put a gun to Cassies head and asked do you believe in god and she said yes than they puled the trigger but I doubt that.

Anyone know the When asked if she believed in God, she said yes, and was shot]. Did the band need her I don't know, but Michael W. Smith also did a song about her and he spoke to the family to get to know It was likely another girl entirely, Val Schnurr, who told Klebold — not Harris — that she believed in God before he shot her in the school library.

Schnurr survived. Bernall was also in the library, though further from Klebold, and Harris did find her. The eyewitness accounts seemed to point to the fact that while Bernall was tragically murdered, the martyrdom story was built on false evidence.

However, who actually said what in the library on April 20 became a point of major dispute, as Hanna Rosin reported in the Washington Post on October 14, And it seemed unlikely that the mythology would be changed by any emerging facts. As Rosin wrote:. Despite the nagging existence of Val Schnurr and Misty Bernall's best efforts to humanize her daughter, the Cassie myth has taken root. Because at this point, it's moved far beyond Cassie. To illustrate how far it has gone, he tells a story of traveling to a remote church in Sudan a few months after the shooting.

The congregation's first request was that he tell the story of Saint Cassie. It's the story they heard first, and circulated for six months uncontested.

You can say it didn't happen that way, but the church won't accept it. To the church, Cassie will always say yes, period. Books and songs about Cassie Bernall and Rachel Scott circulated widely — especially among teenagers in suburban churches, as I and many others can personally attest. They prompted not just teenage soul searching but also that other teenage phenomenon: aspiration.

When I told one of my friends, he said, 'That's awesome. I wish it could happen to me. That might sound horrifying. But for many Christian teenagers in the late s and early s, it made a strange kind of sense. If you were a Christian teenager during the period of time following the era of the grunge-and-flannel dropout Gen-Xers, following your faith was preached to you as a radical act.

Though youth groups had been around for decades, they exploded as centers of not just spiritual growth but also social life for teenagers across the country.
