Lesson Overview

31.10 – What to Do When You See Violence on Social Media: Seeing fights or shootings online can numb you at first, then disturb you later when images replay in your mind. The internet turns tragedy into endless loops that desensitize empathy if left unchecked. Recognizing emotional overload is a sign of awareness, not weakness. Limit exposure by muting violent content and replacing doom-scrolling with positive feeds. Talking with someone about what you saw helps process shock and confusion. Understand that witnessing harm online still counts as a form of trauma for your brain. Practicing grounding techniques—deep breaths, stretching, or naming colors around you—resets your senses. Compassion fatigue fades when you give your mind permission to rest. Use your voice to advocate for responsible sharing and respect for victims. Digital empathy protects communities from normalizing pain as entertainment.
