Mentor youth. As you can see from the tale of my young adult, internalization of oppression often begins at a young age. Look for opportunities to guide young people so that they can internalize positive information about their possibilities and values ​​rather than repression. Please imitate youth's self-love and anti-oppression. Do it for you, do it for them

School is the main institution for suppressing young people. School is not suitable for young people to learn. Instead, they perpetuate the oppression of young people. They divide the young people from each other. They are a capitalist and provide young people as part of a repressive society. They strengthen race discrimination, taxonomy and gender discrimination and become the main means of colonization. Many adults working at school are very worried about young people and hope to live a good life for them. However, because of a repressive institution, the teacher will not receive any assistance and will be the subject of youth suppression. The way young people learn naturally is not the way to set up school. For example, a teacher needs to sit on a desk all day to listen. If young people do not "behave" or obey this oppressive system, they are punished. They are often labeled by "mental health" system and placed in psychiatric medicine. Students and teachers are not school matters
