Lesson Overview

6.23 – When You’re Punished for Asking for Help: Reaching out for help should never be met with anger, yet many teens experience punishment for being honest. When adults react harshly, it’s often from fear, guilt, or denial—not because your pain is invalid. Still, those reactions can make you hesitant to seek help again. Remind yourself that safety and healing are worth temporary conflict. Document what happens to protect your story if needed later. Seek outside support quietly through teachers, counselors, or youth hotlines who understand how to guide you. You’re not wrong for wanting support; that’s how strength begins. Keep focusing on your goals and remind yourself that silence protects suffering, not solutions. You have every right to be heard, believed, and safe. Every time you stand up for your needs, you’re rewriting your future toward freedom and truth.
