Hi Sammi.. you did a brave thing.. going to your counselor and telling her everything... good job!

I think its natural to not want someone to think the worst of you.. especially when you have done nothing wrong...so don't worry too much about why it bothered you that he thought you were laying out of class.

I know how it feels to be treated as if its all in your head... thats how it feels for me having an invisible medical condition that causes chronic pain..doctors saying there isn't anything wrong because they can't see it.. It is enough to cause one to feel crazy, I know...but we have to stand by what we know in our hearts.

Stay with it hun.. you are on the right track I think... and your parents will come around soon. I hope everything gets better for you real soon!
