Bullying, and adults condoning of it, can make a real dent in our confidence into adulthood, so I don't think it's abnormal to not want to go back to that place - and if you have other options then plenty of reason not to go back.
It sounds like you have a real insight into what makes a good healthy educational experience, good luck in your career as school counsellor.  |
Yep exactly. I don't mean bitterness like I wish bad things upon them. I am not bitter like that, I just simply would rather not work along side the same faculty and staff that condoned bullying years ago when I was a student. Obviously the students I had to deal with are no longer there, but I still just don't want to go back there. Yeah, my parents will just have to deal with it.
And I agree, adults that condone bullying really puts a dent in it. I was too shy back then, but if it happened right now, I probably would have said something to them. Not in a mean way, but I would still suggest they actually do something about it rather than blow it off or let some other powerless person deal with it. And yes I do have a real insight and thank you!
