School Shoutout!
“When me and my boyfriend got into an argument, instead of fighting forever, we talked it out.”
“I’m going to start being stronger and say no to people when they make me uncomfortable.”
“I need to focus more on controlling my emotions and not letting people get too close so fast.”
“The students at Dixie High School were struck by the real-life stories they read about abuse survivors. They got into groups and each read a story, but when the activity was over, many of the students requested copies of the other stories that the other groups had read. They had not realized how heartbreaking stories of abuse are, but now they are armed with examples and information! We are so glad that these students responded to what they heard and can now recognize if they see abuse around them.”
