about

Hey Everyone :) I'm Kate and a level 2 mod on here. I've had this account since July 2004, so I've been on here since I was 13! Wow ... crazy for me to think how long ago that was. I will admit I don't check in as often as I once did, but being away at college, being in a sorority, and having a job when I'm not at school is very time consuming. I still try to help out as much as possible, and if you send me a question I WILL answer it. This site helped me a LOT when I was in high school and had a lot of questions, and I'm here to help anyone who needs it :) Feel free to write in my forum or send me a question any time!

advice

I dont know what the hell i'm trying to ask anyone anymore. Please give me some kind of advice, i can't deal with this shit anymore.

I left a question to someone about asking a teacher for help with shit. well i never talked to her. she came and got me out of class yesterday & we talked the entire class (1 hour, 40 minutes) but i'm so fucking stupid i didn't talk.

i have this teacher in class monday. I NEED to talk to her. But I can't.
How can I get enough courage to go up to this women & just tell her to take me in the hall so we can talk?
I just wanna tell her I wanna talk to her iinstead of a social worker at my school. I wanna tell her i didnt tell her everything friday when I saw her. I wanna tell her everything, but i'm so fucking scared I can't.

I wanna talk to her about everything and just cry & let it all out, but I CAN'T. I cried befor ei went to bed last night b/c i wanted to talk to her and tell her everything. why can't i say it to her face?

she knows i tried smoking now, she got that out of me. she went with me to a social worker who took notes, then i went back with her.
i dont wanna talk to the social worker if something is wrong, i wanna talk to my teacher who helps me. but i just can't find the courage to tell her fucking anything to her face. what the hell is wrong with me & how do i fix this before i do something bad?


PLEASE RESPOND BEFORE TOMORROW
& JUST TELL ME HOW TO TALK TO HER.
I CAN'T EMAIL HER. I WANNA TALK FACE TO FACE.
SORRY THIS IS LONG. I'LL RATE YOU A 5 IF YOU ANSWER TONIGHT.

Wow, I'm sorry you're going through such a tough, crummy time.

When you see her, you just need to take a deep breath and tell her you want to try talking again.

If it helps, tonight you should write a letter that says everything you want to tell her. That way you're prepared on Monday and you don't forget what it is that you want to say.

It's really hard to get up the courage to tell someone, but once you have them alone and begin talking, it can get much easier. Sometimes, though, when you're really stressed it can be extremely difficult to just speak up. That's why I suggest writing down everything you're feeling and everything you want to say. That way, if you get nervous or start really freaking out, you can refer to the note and help yourself get your thoughts together, etc.

The first thing you need to do is just walk into the classroom on Monday and tell the teacher that you're ready to talk but only if it's one on one. You won't talk if the social worker is around. When you're finally alone, just pour your heart out. Let her know that you're hurting and don't know what to do. Just be weary, she may not know how to handle it and may want to tell someone and get you real help. Remember, while she's a teacher who loves and cares for you, she can only do so much, especially if you're really in serious trouble.

Good luck, and I hope this all works out for you!
