"Climate change is happening at Roseville High School and it’s of the human-made variety.
Students in the school’s peer helping class are trying to create a more positive campus vibe by spreading an anti-bullying message. They want their classmates to stop judging and hurting each other.
To do this, the 120 teenagers in teacher Valerie Erb’s three classes dig deep and share their own life stories. The lesson plan describes this as “autobiographical speaking,” but it’s more of a group therapy session.
In a recent second period peer helping class, Erb lists some of the stuff teenagers deal with on the board: bullies, racism, finding purpose, foster care, break ups, poverty, divorce, fear, vandalism, rape, gangs, eating disorders, abandonment and more."
