- I’ve come to realize that the sponsors who withhold from the victims, which are mainly teachers, never get a chance to state their opinion in the story being told. Therefore, I believe that the students are too sensitive and over exaggerate the situation as well as remember the situation different than it actually was.
- Too many details tend to work out of favor for these students and that is part of the reason why I find it so odd
- School wasn’t made to be a place where you have fun. It was made to empower young children with knowledge so that when they enter the real world they are ready to take it head on.
- I think the students because they are so young at the time remember the situation much worse or how they want to remember it.
- Sometimes it is about how much work you are willing to put in to become a better student more than anything else.
Overall I think it is clear that at times victim narratives can be exaggerated due to over sensitivity. To continue off of that I think it is clear that these same people writing these narrative misunderstood their sponsors and this led to a miscommunication between the two. I feel as though I have made it clear that there are instances in which people are actually a victim but it is not as common as we might think. I also believe that some might say they had a negative experience because school wasn’t “fun” one year. School isn’t about having fun it is about increasing your knowledge so you can function in the real world. So when times seem tough and there is a lot of work it is those that are willing to endure anything instead of complaining who are the most successful.
