Nex Benedict

4/18/2024

 
March 20, 2024

Here at TeenTalk, we were devastated to learn about what happened to a teen in Oklahoma recently. Nex Benedict was at school when they were attacked by three students. Nex died the next day from their injuries. We want our community to know that:
  • We are here for people who are struggling to process what happened to Nex. We are a safe space to talk about what happened and what you are feeling.
  • When something like this happens, it is essential that we are not silent. Silence might cause others to feel alone in their sadness, anger or loneliness.
  • Violence is absolutely not acceptable. Nex, like everyone, deserved to be able to be safe at school.
  • If you feel unsafe, afraid, or lonely, you deserve a better situation. While we work on making a better society, we are here to listen without judgment.
