“Unveiling Resilience: How Monika Dutt’s ‘My Rock’ Transforms Heartbreak into Strength”
You are almost twelve and make so many decisions for yourself now. You are in what a friend calls a “liminal space,” of pre-teenness, overwhelmed with crushes, clothing obsessions, social media demands, peer pressure. You are so close to a teenager, which is so close to an adult. I talk with you about consent often, consent to ask a girl if you can hold her hand, consent about putting hands on the bodies of others. I often need your consent too; I am no longer the sole decision-maker for your life. Yet I made a unilateral decision with this camp. I am still convinced that you will finish the week thankful, that you will learn you like activities you didn’t think you would. So I push ahead.
