I would direct this question toward my middle school students.
Lia uses the phrase “trapped between holidays” to describe subdivision yards decorated with Thanksgiving and Christmas décor. In a way, she was also describing herself, trapped in the clutches of anorexia. Have you ever felt trapped or stuck in a situation or struggle? Describe the situation. How did it make you feel? How did it affect your attitudes and perceptions of yourself and others?
I will direct this version to my fellow future teachers.
What other kinds of situations/struggles to you think young people today can get “trapped” in? What effects do these situations/struggles have on their social, emotional, and academic well-being? What connections might there be between some of these struggles and more life threatening ones like anorexia, drug abuse, severe depression, etc?
