Tell someone! It is inappropriate. If the school doesn’t do anything, call the police.
Any advice for a 9th grade unmotivated trans student with unsupportive family??? Like,my father told me that he regrets I was born and my grandma said that I’m dead to her.
All you can do is your best and be yourself. Try to find a caring adult at school or at some kind of community outreach that you can rely on. You won’t have to live at home forever. Talk to someone to get some help.

So I haven’t been turning in a lot of assignments and some of my teachers are really concerned about me and it’s mainly been bc I’ve been stressed out lately and my anxiety/depression has been really bad (btw they don’t know abt my mental health). And I’ve been debating whether or not to tell them. What do you think I should do
Always be upfront. It isn’t an “excuse.” You don’t have to tell them everything, but explain what you feel comfortable sharing. They should be understanding and will help you through it.

Hi! I’m a first year teacher and am a long term sub at an all boys school. I have a student who is ambitious, already a leader in school, and is very interested in doing well and making something of his life but he feels like he is growing apart from his only 2 friends who are unambitious and immature. I listen to him and am present when he wants to vent. Should I give advice? I don’t even know what to say to begin with. “Leave them in the dust” seems too abrasive for a ninth grader. Thoughts?
You could say something about how it’s only natural to move on to new phases in life, and can still connect with your old friends in different ways. He has to feel comfortable moving on and only he can make the decision.

I’m interested in becoming a secondary English teacher (I live in Canada and I’m in grade 11) but I’m a little worried about my grades- in english and Social (grade 11 level) I ended with a 90% each with pretty consistent grades over 80%. I know that you need to take a few more classes up to the grade 12 level, so I’m taking Chemistry +others— and i SUCK at chemistry, I think I’m at a 70% right now! Will this one poor grade effect my chances of getting into a university for becoming a teacher?
Take a deep breath. You will be fine. In Ontario, only your Grade 12 marks count for entrance into university, and then your university grades for your entrance into a Bachelor of Education program. I majored in English so I didn’t even need to take any sciences or math courses in my senior grades in high school. What do you want to focus on?
