The suicide of a young man at Oxford University has prompted a warning letter to the UK Government about 'cancel culture' on campus. The review into his death 'identified evidence of a concerning practice of social ostracism among students, often referred to as a cancel culture,' according the coroner.

'[The review's] evidence was that this behaviour, where individuals are isolated and excluded from social groups based on allegations or perceptions of wrongdoing, poses a significant risk to student mental health and well-being.'

I brought Susie in to talk about where cancel culture has come from, why it's become popular, and how we parents can help our kids be a force for good.

Seven Ideas to Reduce Cancel Culture in Yourself or Your Students and Build Resilience from https://growingleaders.com/the-correlation-between-cancel-culture-and-resilience-in-students/:

  1. Do not react on impulse. Think first. Give yourself a day to reflect.
  2. Practice the 101% Principle. Find the 1% you agree on and give it 100% of your attention. 
  3. Listen before you speak. Recover the art of really hearing from the other side. 
  4. Phone a friend. Don’t respond in a vacuum. Include others’ perspectives before acting.
  5. Apologize when and where you’re wrong. This goes a long way in fostering relationships. 
  6. Forgive when appropriate. To make a mistake is human; to forgive is divine.
  7. Build a bridge where there’s a wall. Find a way to connect with the opposing side.
