Can I confide in a teacher?

I’m thinking about telling my health teacher something really big that has happened to me. It’s a terrible, awful secret. But would she have to tell someone...

my grandpa passed away a month ago. he was diagnosed with cancer last year and every thing just went down hill from there. he got mersa and mrs in his blood and colin. my friends ask whats up and i tell them and there like 'oh i'm so sorry' but i told them and NONE of them came too the funeral my dads friend who has two kids my age came, i see them more than MY close friends. Should i be mad at them or just let it slide under the radar?

MODMODMOD Thanks for making me feel better. I'm definitely talking to my principal and a guidance counselor. Is there any numbers I can call in the meantime?




Hey girl, glad to help! There are hotlines you can talk to. Check out a list here: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2008/08/04/HELP!2.aspx I'd recommend TeenLine.

MODMODMOD In middle school I've been getting bullied. I'm afraid to tell my teachers or principal since the matter could only escalate after that. She might seek revenge for me telling. What do I do!? I've considered cutting myself because I have a razor blade sitting right here on my desk. I feel that I want to try it. I've even considered suicide, but when I try, I swell up with thoughts of family and friends. What do I do to handle the bullying? Help!




Hey girl, think this through, first of all: will hurting yourself really stop this girl from hurting you? Or will it just show she's won in lowering you enough to make you consider that? What you're dealing with is serious and something you shouldn't have to deal with alone. You need to talk to an adult as soon as possible, especially if you've had thoughts of suicide. Talk to your parents about this bullying and a guidance counselor. Your counselor will keep you safe/prevent this girl from seeking revenge, trust me. Teachers and principals' job is to make school safe for students but they can't if you don't tell them there's a problem. So stay strong, hang in there and speak up. Things will get better; don't let this girl win.

MOD:
I was a stupid kid about 2 years ago, I made friends on a fansite (stupid i know), and told them my age, the country i lived in, and very generally my dads job (very general, like saying 'teacher' or 'doctor'). Anyways I stopped talking to them, and became a lot safer on the internet. I never felt threatened when I was on there, but now i am really scared. Do you think someone could find me? Also, do you think these people were predators? They never pressed me for info, and they seemed real. Do you think they've forgotten me by now? Am i in danger? Theres been no incident so far, and I've moved since then, but I am really paranoid right now.
Thanks.




Hey girl, not at all. You gave very vague details. I think you'll be fine. Trust me when I say there are tons of people who live in the U.S. who are your age and whose parents work in the teaching industry. That said, always play it safe. Don't give out personal info ever to strangers.

im going to high school next year and i havent really been worried about it until i was talking to my dentists daughter the other day.she warned me to be careful about the older guys hitting on me.it happened to her a lot and she didnt like it at all. she was also offered pot there once. i was just wondering how do u act in those situations?? what do u tell the guys hitting on u? ive been hit on before but usually i just give them this "back off" look and walk away but what if it doesnt work? and what if im offered a drug? obviously i say no but most likely theyre gonna say something back?? can u give me some tips plz?
thx so much!! Smile this will solve the rest of my high school problems!! srry if this is long...




Hey girlie -- simply tell them you are flattered, but you are interested Smile If you're offered a drug, tell the person that you aren't into drugs and if they keep pressuring you tell them their best bet is to find somebody who is, cause you're not.

If it's a potential abuse situation, DEFINITELY tell your teacher or another trusted adult. If you're depressed (whether or not you're suicidal), DEFINITELY tell a parent. If you were engaged in substance abuse, it might be fine to tell. At my school, if you confess to doing drugs, you sign a contract that says that you'll never do it again, and if you do, you'll be in big trouble. Apparently, students like this because it actually gives them a great way to say no to drugs, in terms of peer pressure. I think that, if it was a case of alcohol abuse, than she wouldn't have to tell. If you're tempted to engage in substance abuse, she could be very helpful and most likely wouldn't have to tell. If it's a bullying issue, definitely tell. If it's anything serious, consider telling a parent first. If you trust your teacher, it will probably be okay. Make sure to get help no matter what. Since you feel the desire ask for it, you DEFINITELY should. Don't keep it a secret.

I know of at least two teachers that I could confide in if I ever needed to. It really depends on the relationship you have with your teacher. If this teacher needs to tell someone else, that means that they are being responsible and not trying to tattle on you.

please help me!! this girl name stephanie is soooo annoying.
my friend J and K dont like her at all. Stephanie hangs out with us for some reason, so im the one who always has to be nice to her. THey dont like her because she gets so mad easily. For example, she gets so mad when i dont have a pencil for her. then she ignores you and sticks her tounge at you. and today she got mad at us when we were going down to the black top without her. we didnt even plan it. shes just so annoying. what do i do?




Hey girl, be polite to her but know that's all you're obligated to do. If she gets mad at you, you have to right at a certain point to ignore her and the way she's treating you. If she wants to be friends with you, she needs to be a friend to you too.

Ok so i'm going to my bff's birthday party next weekend and it's a pool party she's only inviting like 5-10 people but the thing is that if i wear a swimsuit you can see where i cut myself on my thigh...there's like four of them and im sure its pretty obvious that they arent from "falling" or a "cat scratch"....what do i do???? thank u very much! btw two of them are from pretty recent..(like yesterday..)

 

Hey girl,

 

A short-term solution would be to cover them up with boy shorts or a skirt. It concerns me that you are cutting yourself in the first place. I think you should talk to someone: a friend, parents or counselor about why you are cutting yourself. Here are some other resources you can look into to get help: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2008/08/04/HELP!2.aspx.

Teachers, I would never tell them anything secretive. I wouldn't tell anyone anything secretive unless I know there is no way for it to get back to the other person or people.

Ooooh if that ever happened to me, I would definitely not tell one of my teacher about that. But that's probably because I don't like my teachers Smile
