Lesson Overview

9.21 – When Violence Is Normalized in Your Environment: Growing up where fights, yelling, or chaos are everyday sounds can make danger feel ordinary. You might stop noticing fear until something major happens. That normalization protects you short-term but harms you long-term by keeping your body on alert even when calm moments arrive. Awareness is the first step—admitting that what feels “normal” might still be unsafe. Begin setting mental boundaries: what’s acceptable, what’s not. Talk to mentors or community members who model peace instead of conflict. Surround yourself with small examples of calm—music, routines, friends who don’t feed violence. Over time, your nervous system learns that peace isn’t boring; it’s stability. Changing what feels normal is slow but powerful work. Each quiet evening, each kind word, becomes proof that calm can exist even in the loudest worlds.
