    Literally mental health. We got a school mental health person (forgot the proper name) who you could just go to. I never used it personally but I heard good things about it.
    2nd year, now there’s a waiting list. If you’re having a breakdown and sobbing just wait 2 hours!
    Year 3, now you have to go up in front of the entire class and scan a QR code. This is also when I was forced to go to her office while having a breakdown.

    When I had a had the breakdown and was forced to talk to her it was literally an interrogation, and they legally have to tell parents you went.

    Like am I insane for thinking it’s crazy that parents get a phone call for that? What if the issue IS abusive parents?!

    Back when my sister was in HS (~6yrs) they’d just go to one teachers spare closet and have 15 minutes to themselves before the teacher would check in and asked if they needed anything or wanted to talk.

    I hate Florida. The worst part is when I go to collage next year I’m sure trump or desantis that will limit my education and freedoms there too…

      School counsellor?

      That’s ridiculous, honestly. Students should have the same confidentiality rights as an adult getting counselling, ie they only disclose anything if they fear for your or someone else’s safety.
