About emmaquincy



My name is Emma, and I'm a junior in high school. I may be young, but everyone comes to me for advice-it's my passion, and I am going to go to college for psychology. I've been through a lot in terms of emotion, and I want to help people understand what they're dealing with better.

So ask me anything! =]

but our school doesn't have anything like that a school nurse or a pschycologist or anything like that i'm in grade 7 my school goes from JK-grade8. Thought i should just tell you this.

every school has to have a school psychologist, if youre in ny state. they may not be there every day- they may only come in when needed..but theyre required to have one. If you dont have one- is there a different high school building you have? because they would definitely have one.

Hey my username is timmy494 and my best friend lets call her bob (thats not her real name). She was a late joiner to PACE (a girted academic program). Basically she came in grade 6 instead of grade 5. In grade 5 the guys in our class teased us all about almost everything. Now in grade seven they moved on with that but they tease Bob still becaus she was a late jopiner some of the reasons why they tease her are because
-she had a unibrow(she got her grandma to wax it because she thought it would stop the teasing)
-ect. ect theres a million more reasons.
One day i found this out when my other friend told me that Bob was sitting on her roof thinking about jumping off. When my other friend called her and my firned Bob was flat out sobbing about how she cut herself and she made a couple little cuts and 1 REALLY deep cut so she came to school the next day and was wearing a long sleeve so only her and my friend knew. But the shirt was a little short and durinbg DPA her sleeve went a ;littlw up and we all saw her cute.Of course the guys in my class picked the p[erfect time and started calling her names like Emo and Emu and Emobird and Wombat child(dont ask) now everyone knows her secret but we are making an effort to help her get better and we told our parents and our moms talked to rachels mom who had no idea. but checked her daughters wrist and sure enough there were the cuts. So now her parents know but she is still trying to sneak blades into her room.What should we do?

I think you and your friend did the right thing, and by letting her parents know and letting her know you are there for her-you did your duty. You can't really help her anymore..if her parents know it is in their hands to seek professional help..
Maybe you could go tell your guidance counselor about it-so they can get her in to see the school nurse or school psychologist.
