Hello.
I apprecite what you said, but sadly enough the school councler can't really do anything about it.At least here - a school councler has up to three purposes.Carrying papers for the teachers/proffesors, breaking up fights, and calling for parents when a child is either misbehaving, hurt or possibly having a period of low grades.
As for stuffing the situation well it's a really hard thing to do, at least I see it that way.Going to school was a terror for me, expecialy once we moved, so I ended up skipping for a short period of time.
(The best part is, I didn't even realise that much time has passed..) Naturaly when my step-mother came to school she was angry, but she got it in her head that all which was happened were excuses.Though I think it would be a little normal to think that if a (once) straight A student is struggling to pass the year at all now, something's wrong. :l
In either case, I appreciate the support and hopefully, things will get better as time passes. ^^ Not everything can remain black and white for eternaty.I just hope that by the time things get a little better for me, they do for others here too.It seems alot of people have the same or even worse problems.
