Stopping the Cycle of Oppression: How Our Early Hurts Perpetuate Injustice
No person is born agreeing to oppress others or be oppressed. Young people have an innate sense of justice. We entered the world clear about our significance and ability to make things go well. It takes the systematic mistreatment of young people for us to doubt our goodness, thinking, or power to ensure justice for all. To interrupt the cycle of oppression we will need to recognize how we were hurt and commit to heal from internalized messages of discouragement, helplessness, or powerlessness. Giving up, waiting, or resentfully going it alone are no longer our only options. When we reconnect to our inherent human capacity to heal, we can and will stop the cycle of oppression.
“A just world requires us to heal from internalized adultism that left us feeling discouraged, hopeless, helpless, powerless, and/or waiting for someone else.”
– Nanci E. Luna Jiménez
