I just got off the phone with a parent who cussed me the fuck out in 2019, when I was speaking with high school seniors about college life I also told the young women to trust their gut feeling when they feel something is wrong. Dont take any open drinks, always enter a room with
Friends, if you feel uncomfortable at any point you can say no, I was teaching all the students to be observant, alert, and very self trusting of their gut feelings, anyone can get raped, so I wasn't teaching them how to avoid rape but to move with their eyes, mind and heart.
I was just as raw and brutal with the young men, no parent acted this way. Even the students, including her two twin daugthers apologized to me because they knew she was doing the most. Well, yesterday her dauthers friend was gang raped at a party and because I told her to trust
Her gut about enacting with men on campus, she trusted her gut, she felt something was wrong and she tried to stop her friend from going but she couldn't control her friend who was with other friends. Her "friends" left her intoxicated in a room with 10 men.. she was raped by 3.
The mom called me to apologize, her daughter is telling everyone I saved her life, she finally saw I was preparing students with tools so they can make better decisions. As I told her again like I did 2 years ago, I'm not into respectable politics when I'm trying to saves lives.
Talk to your kids, and give the. The hard truth, being direct helps with comprehension. We can't stop the inevitable but we definitely can prevent a lot things if we had the tools implanted into our mental. My mother definitely gave us hard truths, build them with smart power.
