My Three-Panel Story — Narrative Reclaim
You did not choose what happened to you. But you get to choose what it means. Drawing is a valid response for all three panels. Take your time.
Panel 1 is ALWAYS private on paper. Your teacher will never collect or read the paper Panel 1. If you would rather keep Panel 1 off this screen too, write only a word or leave it blank — Panels 2 and 3 still work.
Something that happened to me — a real hurt, loss, or disappointment. Draw or write.
The interpretation I gave it. What did I decide this meant about me / others / life?
Not denying Panel 1. Choosing what meaning it gets going forward. What I choose to believe this means instead:
“One story I am choosing to tell differently is ___. Because ___.”
You do not have to carry it alone. Tell one trusted adult, or write it and let an adult read it. 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988. Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741.
