Sometimes I feel invalid using the word trauma because it's become such a buzzword for stupid people. This girl in my sociology class said learning about (in her words) 'stranger danger' traumatised her as a kid cus it was upsetting. Like girl I was molested and only knew it was wrong becus of education in elementary school. Sorry that it's uncomfortable for you to hear about other people's lives experiences but if we didn't talk about this to young people they wouldn't be able to have the wherewithal to help themselves. um and very small things to one person can be traumatizing to another but idk I just don't think that you hearing about how to be safe is traumatizing like how do you think it feels for kids in that situation. Like it's embarassing and shameful for me to think about the way that my childhood impacts me and has affected my thought processes and behaviours throughout my life. And ppl using it so frivolously makes me feel like they're not taking this seriously when it's been disruptive to a lot of facets in my life. And that just really hurts . Btw she wants to be a social worker
