But you are learning to talk about your differences. Once you try it out and it works, you go home and say to your mom, Please don't do that to me anymore, I don't like it, and if you get a reaction, you try to do it again. We give the students and ourselves and all the people who work here the tools and safe space and it works. There is violence all over. Just walking down the street, a girl gets lots of comments.
Violence is everywhere.
It's in the television, in the newspapers we read, it's in the radio that we listen to, it's in the songs that we hear, it's in everything. There are subtle messages as well as blatant messages, but it's all accepted. It's not questioned. There's no escaping it. It makes me very scared.
