"Just because they're failing doesn't mean they are a failure" I started crying hearing this

“Oh but it’s just a phase!” “You’ll get over it” “Just talk about it and it will get better” “ only you can control your feelings” “Every teenager feels like that” “You’re just attention seeking” “You’re just feeling sad today, you will feel better tomorrow” Those few phrases are what make us not want to get help because sadly most adults say that or even our own peers. Maybe if people understood mental health better this wouldn’t be happening

"These kids are not robots. They are human beings with human emotions, and feelings." Sadly it seems like very few teachers actually understand this.

Smiling depression is one of the most dangerous kinds. No one sees the signs until it is too late because to others there are no warning signs. It is so easily missed and that type of depression is the kind that I have. No one sees it and I don’t have the heart to tell anyone and it haunts me.

The world needs more people like her.

If us teens actually were listened to maybe it would change. When we tell you ‘I’m stressed out I’m not coping’ the words ‘ooh wait until you get to my age’ won’t help. When we say ‘I’m sad’ we don’t want ‘ahh cheer up your only young’. We tell you this, we try and try to tell you but adults sometimes just can’t and won’t listen. No one understands

My brother tried telling my mom about his anxiety. She told him to "man up and deal with it". And she wonders why I never tell her anything.

My fourth grade teacher set up a system where if I stayed organized and on task all day, he would sit with me one on one for 5 minutes after school, just talking or playing his guitar. I have learning disabilities that make organization really hard, but just knowing I would get to spend time with him after school made me work harder. I'm now 41 years old and I still remember the songs he used to sing me during those times. I went back to my grade school years ago to see if he was still there; he was, and he remembered me. Good teachers are magical.

in 7th grade i once wrote a suicide note in class and tore it up by the end of class only to have someone find it and give it to the teacher who gave it to the principal, so i had to sit in the principals office with him and my teacher and my abusive mother all demanding to know why on earth i would want to kill myself.

It pisses me off that there's usually no signs and all my signs were completely ignored until I almost died. It just makes me think how many people are going through it all alone

"you're to young to be depressed" Or "it's just your teen hormones" Wow thanks, Happiness increases by - 10

I find intresting how adults say "it only gets worse enjoy it while you a still can" but expect us just live with knowing the future sucks more than the present, Knowing we are working so hard for it to only get worse . That gives us no hope. Then when we try to "enjoy it while it lasts" we are told to work giving us little time for fun. People wonder why mental health is so bad it's because of our bad aditude towards life or the future

What school she teaches at, im transferring.

I love when people say super nice thing about people AFTER they are dead or tried to kill them selves.

I am 14 I have been suicidal for a few months and when I starting getting these thought my science teacher did the same thing as you. He wrote individual notes to all 140 of his students. I have a bulletin board in my bedroom and I keep it up there and read it when I am in the darkest times. It doesn’t always make me feel better but my teacher is the nicest guy with the biggest heart

"Just because they are failing, doesn't mean they are a failure". Schools and parents need to recognize this more

It is not just about suicide. I often feel like my depression isn't taken seriously because I'm not suicidal. I have depression, I struggle every day. My life may not be at danger, but my future. I would never harm myself, I know myself well enough to be able to tell that, but that doesn't mean that I don't struggel to get up in the morning and leave the house, that doesn't mean I don't spiral into the void of thoughts and fears all the time, that doesn't mean I don't lose joy in the things I do, that doesn't mean I don't hate myself. I know I deserve better but I still blame myself for not getting better, I still blame myself for not being able to do what everyone else seems to be able to do. The people around me, my family, my friends, even my therapist seem to think that it's not serious but it is. Even though I don't want to end it, I hate my life. I get little support and little understanding.

I wish people understood how passionate she is about her students. On our way home from the talk, she expressed to me how heartbroken she was about her student committing suicide and how it changed her perspective completely. She truly cares about her kids in the classroom and outside of the classroom. It is so unbelievably rare to come across that.

School board: *sees millions of students stuggling with mental health because of pressure* Also school board: y’all here sum?

I live in Hong Kong, and there is a ridiculous amount of academic pressure on students over here. This is such a great ted talk I think teachers everywhere should learn from it.

As a 15-year old who's had to stop multiple suicide attempts from multiple friends, thank you for your message and all of your efforts.

I cried while watching this. God I wish I had a teacher like this

A few days ago I was about to walk into class but my teacher stopped me and said to me, "Hey, have you been doing okay? I've noticed you've been down and quiet lately." I smiled at her and said, "I'm fine, thank you!" It was a lie, but I felt so happy that she noticed and didn't think twice about it. If she some how sees this then, thank you, Ms. Kasa, thank you.. :)

"How did you find nice things to write about 130 teemagers?" This ticked me off. Read it and you'll see why, not all teens are a pain or a nuisance and the fact that people assumed this was hard because they are teens, seriously?! And they wonder why we feel so hurt all the time

Someone says that for depressed people even a smile or a «thank you», or maybe just a «hello, how are you?» can make a difference. I really like the 130 individual letters!

"It's the hormones" they say.. "It's all fine" they say.. "It's gonna pass" they say.. But is it? How we feel is all we can feel and nothing else can stop that. We let our feelings get the best of us and sometimes.. well most of the time.. it hurts us. It kills us. We feel and see what we want to see and feel. It's within our minds that hurt us. We can't help it. As someone who is still going through depression and has attempted suicide, I can say that I don't want to die. I just want to end the pain. It's killing me. It's surrounding me and darkening my life. That's what I see and feel. I can't stop it. It's who I am. Will it end? Maybe. But when will it? I don't know. Maybe soon or.. maybe never

Mental illness affected my education so much. I was late to school. I missed many days. And all the teachers would do was call me a slacker and a failure. I don't blame them for not knowing . i refused to socialized I even cried in class a few times and bullied right in front of teachers and all they would do is call me lazy, slacker, failure, etc. It only made things worst. Even some of my facourite teachers started to turn on me. They were all I had at the time. Like I said I don't blame them. Teaching is a handful.

Dang, I wish I had a teacher like this. When I told my math teacher I hadn't finished my homework because I didn't plan on being alive that day, all she said was "well, it's getting a zero then". Yikes

I was lucky enough to have Ms. Darras as my teacher this last year, and she was 100% my favorite teacher of that year, and one of my 2 favorite teachers I've ever had. As a Senior, saying I only really enjoyed 2 of my teachers is insane. I hate school. Honestly, I do, with everything in me. I have an awful perception of school in my head, and I've almost never had a good experience when it comes to school. The reason I'm able to say "almost" is because of only 2 teachers, one being Darras. I dread going to school everyday, as it's always surrounded by negativity with admin and teachers putting this idea in my head that if I don't do well in school, I'm a failure and going to be a failure in life, which causes unbelievable amounts of stress on me, seeing that I don't do amazing in school. Ms. Darras and the other teacher are the only teachers who have made me feel like the opposite, and have made me WANT to come to school. They've ran the only classes I've ever been excited to attend. I hope that many other teachers follow in the steps of Darras, so that school can be enjoyable for many other kids who struggle with depression, especially when the root of the depression is school itself. And Ms. Darras if you see this, this is Andrew Baker and I just want to say I absolutely loved your class, it was absolutely amazing :D much love

My teachers forget to call my name during attendance :(

I’ve heard comments teens have received about their mental health. “Stop being a drama queen - everyone knows you’re just doing it for attention” from a sister. “Just get up and try harder because obviously you’re not trying hard enough” from a dad. “Can’t you just eat better and sleep more and be happier?” from a best friend. These are the voices we hear in our heads when we think about ending everything. This is what makes us think we’re no good and no one will miss us. Maybe you didn’t mean to say it like that, but we didn’t mean to feel this way either.

"I believe that what students need more than a score on a test or worksheet is love and support. They need to know someone cares." Applause.

FINE stands for F= freaked out I=insecure N=neurotic E=emotional

I really wish there were more people like this. Maybe it would prevent my attempt. I spent 7 months trying to speak to my school counsellor, she kept telling me to seek help outside of school. I cant afford it. She wouldn’t even call me in, when i asked she just said i wasnt a priority. I tried speaking out to my parents, my cousins, my friends, no one listened. People need to stop thinking that our problems aren’t real just because we’re young.

One of my teachers told me there is nothing a teen should be stressing over to drive them to depression or suicide. Im sorry i have to deal with family issues, friend issues and personal issues all while keeping my grades up playing sports and being on student council. And no I’m not saying i have it the worst I definitely do not, just please don’t tell me i got it easy and have nothing to worry about when i feel as i have the world on my shoulders.

I can say as a 13 year old. We need more of this type of teachers, They can not only do way better, But also save lives

In 11th grade my friend and I had AP English Composition and he didn’t do well on a two timed essays. He had a lot going on so he wasn’t focused on school. He had insomnia, depression, and one of our close friends tried to commit suicide. And the teacher said “I recommend you drop out of this class. I had depression and still passed all of my 10 AP classes in high school.” So he dropped her class. He felt he wasn’t smart enough. If she had encouraged him I believe he would’ve done much better because he is a very good student. Instead she just made him feel like a failure.

WOW! Teacher of the year☺️

Something people need to understand: Maybe it is because of hormones. Maybe it is "just a phase." Maybe it is "all in your head." That doesn't mean it's not valid. That doesn't mean we don't need help.

There are different types of depression. There's depression that makes you withdraw from your friend groups, make you try less hard, what people point at when people say depression. And then there's smiling depression. This, of course, is the most dangerous kind. You smile, but you don't smile inside. No one suspects a thing. And then it's too late.

At my school we never talk about these things, but we talk about bullying (which is a extremely serious and important issue) all year but no one ever talked about these things. If we do or if we are suicidal you get rumors or jokes about you. No one at my schools actually shows to care about these things and I have no idea why...

We need more teachers to acknowledge that we're people.

I wish my school could see this video. I’m here bc a kid tried kill himself in the bathroom at my school today. he was 14. It was completely haunting to be at school all day not knowing if he was even alive or not, and all I could think to myself was “why am I not surprised?” edit: unfortunately the kid passed away earlier today and I’m so devastated. he will never get to experience his future and he will never get to grow up and have kids and be happy again. I wish god would’ve given him another chance, but I know that he is at peace now. rest in peace jesse 2004-2019

From my experience in high school, most teachers don't really care.

My heart was in my throat throughout this entire video.

This is a one in a decade teacher. There will not be any more.

This is my English teacher for the fall semester of the 2018-19 school year. She is absolutely amazing and so supportive and caring of her students. I love her so much.

My sophomore creative writing teacher was the first one to notice I needed help. After I had been writing really sad gloomy things and when I wrote a poem about self-harm she asked me to stay after class. When she asked me if I was okay I started crying because that was the first time someone had asked me that genuinely and not just as something casual. After that I started visiting with the school psychologist and I learned for the first time about anxiety and depression. If it wasn't for her I don't know if I would have ever gotten help. It's been nine years and I'm actively going to therapy and taking medication and it all stems back to one amazing caring teacher.

Writing letters to students should become compulsory in schools as it helps them connect so much better

I wish my teachers in high school knew I was suicidal and I wish my professors in college knew too. I had a few counseling sessions but they only made me feel worse so I stopped. I’m hopeful to see the outcome of my life and see how far I go and succeed. I’m currently and the end of my junior year of college.

my depression tells me to kill myself but my anxiety makes me scared to die. we never win.

If I could switch this lady with one of my teachers, I definitely would.

Ms. Darras sounds like she would be a great therapist. Sadly, I know no teachers at my school that would allow one to vent to them about how they feel, if they are depressed, suicidal, etc. My school has gotten rid of school therapists because of money issues, and solely rely on guidance counselors to better ones school career. They did not consider bringing therapists back. The students had to write in the school newspaper that they were essential to a students mental health.

If only there were more teachers like this

im transferring to whatever school she teaches at.

I’m 15 and I’ve been thinking about suicide since I was 9 years old. I’ve made it this far but I haven’t had help, I’m clinging onto life by the barest strands of hope. I feel selfish that no matter what I do I’m unhappy, lazy, tired, unmotivated, suicidal, stressed, whatever. All of it. I live an easy privileged life by all accounts but it doesn’t seem to matter. My passions: drawing, animals, biology, writing... they make me feel better, but sometimes it’s like they mean nothing to me. I’m not diagnosed with depression. I’m scared if I asked my parents for help I would cause them undue stress, or they’d send me to a religious counselor. I don’t even know why I’m writing this. Maybe because I want people to understand that it can happen to anyone.

Suicide is an issue that most people are afraid to accept. Even the early signs of depression is already a term that most people don't want to mention or bring up as if it is something that is bad. Most people that are depressed thinks that no one understands or love them. The first and important part of prevention is showing love and kindness. Even if it starts at school a lot of kids find that most teachers are someone who they can go to for advice. Love that comes from a family or people you admire is always someone that can make a difference. There are always teachers and peers who will listen its just a matter of asking for the help and guidance that is needed.

Western school systems need to change drastically, followed by higher education. My life without school is more enjoyable and I can finally start to go off my antidepressants. Humans were not meant to be in school from 8-3 and then do 3 hours of homework every night. You have one life, do not let it be wasted by chasing something that society has told you is necessary. It is important to be educated, but the added stress and pressure is why kids hate school. Once out of school, I find myself learning more about the world than I have for the 19 years I have spent in the education system. After my degree I am done being told what I should be doing with my life.

"Just because they're failing doesn't mean they are a failure." I don't know why but I started crying even harder at this line and I think it triggers something in me that has to do with my academic performance and such

As a suicide attempt survivor, this meant so much to hear. I was bawling all the way through. I wish I had had a teacher like you back then.

I'm a teacher too and this is wonderful. I used to make my students collages with photos of them taken through their years in middle school. connection is the most important and seeing them for the brilliant young people they are is invaluable too. a good teacher exemplifies "Children are born with wings, teachers help them to fly." keep it up!

I cried so hard, she’s amazing and I wish we would have teachers like her.

I started crying over this because i know that ill walk into school tomorrow and it'll still be like a torture chamber. Ill do what i do everyday, hold in panic attacks and let it out when i get home, draw my life away so i don't have to make eye contact and last of this vague list, ill put other over myself so much that i don't care for myself at all

Perfectionism, no boundaries (puting others first to the extreme), always being extra nice. Basically all the things the teacher said about her student are things I have seen in every suicidal person I know. Not to alarm anyone, the key is the motivation ¿is hardworking perfectionism or is never feeling enough? ¿ is being selfless or is being unable to care for themselves? ¿ is just being smiley or is being constantly scared of rejection? Sorry for the broken english and thanks for the great talk

My teacher throws my assignments away and makes me do them again

This is a great talk but I’ve also noticed that teachers don’t care unless you’re suicidal, I’ve struggled with depression for a long time and it’s not unlikely for me to have days where my pain is so unbearable I just wanna lay down and sleep so I don’t have to feel it. Mental health is never a viable excuse to miss school but being sad, having anxiety, that’s all something worth being bullied over. We are forced to go to school even if we’d give anything to just go back to bed. Depression is an illness that people not only ignore but underestimate in levels of pain. I appreciate what she has said so much and what she did. I have teachers who know about my struggles and are nice and caring but that doesn’t lessen the pain

I started crying when she told about the cards she wrote, this woman is just amazing and we definitely need more people like her. What a legend

I had actually almost cut when i first started watching this video, and now my razor is away and im in tears. Thank you for this video💖💖

All teachers need to see this. I've had teachers that watched a certain few students take a thumbtack out of the wall and scratch their skin with it. And do absolutely nothing about it. And that is NOT okay.

In my opinion, I feel like School is the problem or at least high school. I think most students who commit suicide are in high and it’s the fact that it’s pretty pointless. Your putting in all these extra hours to learn stuff that ur never gonna use in life and for what. A letter A on a peice of paper every 6 weeks or so. School should end around 8th or 9th grade and a high education should be optional just like college

“You’re not alone” everyone goes through something different

How do I send this to my teachers and people around me without actually sending it

I truly admire her for what she has done and doing for her students. I can see her passionate toward everybody in her speech. You are an angel. Bearing in mind that she is like everybody else who may also have difficulties in her life but she doesn’t used them as excuses to flare up people’s feelings. I wished I had a teacher like you. I always thought subconsciously that I was a failure. Not even my parents told me once that I am able to live with myself and have a better life in the future. It took me two decades to realise that what I was told or felt, was not true. I went to university when I was 35 and graduated from London University with first degree in Film and then started my career in TV industry in the age of 39. Although that I’m too old for many other things that I wish I did when I was younger, I have realistically succeeded in things that I wanted in these few years. Human brain has its own capacity and limit when reaches these ages. It’s not rewiring as much as it used to. I’m still struggling with those many years of negative experiences and thoughts carried on since that crucial times. It could have been much easier if I had someone showed me or reminded me that I was special.

I wish the world had more people like her, so many people need her.

My mum is a high school teacher and she's one of the few who cares about her students' emotions. She doesn't care so much about the grades and she always supports them. They are happy. Teachers like my mum are so rare but they're needed more than ever

What a wonderful woman and excellent teacher. I've never heard a teacher talk so brightly about her own students. That was beautiful.

"When we treat others Merely AS THEY ARE, they will remain as they are. When we treat them as if they are what they should be, they Will BECOME what they should be." - T. S. Monson That has to be one of the most, and my favorite quotes of all time. And I'll just let it speak for itself. Also really enjoyed this talk, it's seriously something we All need to hear no matter who we are or where we came from. The most important thing we could ever give to another is Love. May we all keep this message within our hearts until the end of time. 💓 💓 💓

People sometimes think that teenagers with depression just have hormonal changes, especially children, like even at 8 some become depressed (like me) *Like seriously parents step your game up* Edit: OK HOW DO I HAVE SO MUCH LIKES

I have no idea who this woman is personally or how good of a teacher she is but this honestly meant so much to me. I struggle I have friends that struggle and when I was in year 4 I had this wonderful teacher who everyone thought he was a bit weird but we learnt so much from him and his criticism was never hurtful but encouraging like for example, If you can improve on your spelling for next week you will find in no time you will create wonderful story’s without one mistake. Those small differences to his speech made everyone’s day fill with hope, and that was special. Never have I ever met another teacher that was like him and even today I’m not the best speller but his words in my head motivate me to practice and be better. That is what makes a teacher special.

I'm Grace. I'm 9 years old and I still think nobody likes me. My friends always run away from me and I feel like there is something wrong with me. I'm still standing up for myself now by telling them that I am the same as them. Gender doesn't matter, personality doesn't matter, equality does. Your absolutely right! Now I'm in year 5 and people come up to me to ask if I'm alright because of some of my struggles at home. The struggles that I have don't put me down, I stand up for myself. At 1st I thought I didn't belong in the world but I realised that my equality could change. Please stand up for yourself. No matter what you are like, you are equal to everybody else. :)

"It begins with kindness"...

What an Amazing Teacher :)

I am in college to be a teacher. I made my first suicide attempt at age 16. I hope and pray that I am able to spot a suicidal child. Thank you for this video.

Someone in the crowd is going to go home, ask their child directly if they’re ok and or is they’re feeling depressed and such. Some children will open up while others like me will shut it down. Then those parents will forget and when that child comes to them, it’ll be a closed conversation....

3:23 100% what my friend is she is exactly all of that then I found it...was all lies so no one would worry about her well I do, talking to her makes me question am I the first person to talk to her seriously about this? Idk but I'm starting to believe so she seems so use to people not caring about her but I stepped into her life and even to this day I still try my best to do what I can i talk to her about it whenever I can and do what Is only possible but It isn't enough there's nothing I can do to help her at least right now it seems like it I have never been in this situation with someone and when I did I tried so hard to educate myself on this stuff to see if I could find some other ways to help to see if there was something just anything to try to make her stop feeling like killing herself would be the only option I'm in a rut not knowing what to do I'm confused and I think to myself a lot just trying to figure stuff out I'm only in 11th grade and feel like there isn't a lot I could do I need something or someone to help me I need it really badly because just me isn't enough.

Very moving! All people need to know someone cares. These kids spend their lives on social media where people always put the best on show not realizing all people have struggles and challenges in life. They don't need to compare themselves. Teachers spend so much time with our kids, we need more brave educators to care!

I remember this year (grade 10), I transferred to a new school, I came from a very poor school (basically a scam) to a completely new world (it was like any other school but not a scam), I didn't know what to do... I got mental breakdown from September to March. I recall sleeping 2 to 3 hours a day, cry every day, depressed 24/7, I had no friends and lost confidence in myself. There were teachers who embarrassed me in front of the whole class. I did everything I could. Time limits, Stress, no motivation or support, feeling of hatred, made me stop studying. It became worse... I brought low marks in term 1 and cried endlessly, I remember not doing my homeworks due to unintentionally 15 hour nap (from returning back to school to next day of school) and be hella stressed for not doing the assignment, the teacher had literally embarrassed me in front of everyone and didn't accepted my excuse, not only that but also I did an assignment but forgot it at home, she didn't believe me and demanded me to come with her to the principal. I got sick and was contacted with some sort of virus twice twice. The first time I remember the coldness and can't move, dizzy and just unable to do anything. The second time was worse, I got acnes and pimples covering my body, (it happenened suddenly next day at morning), I had the worse migraine anyone could imagine and was determined that I was going to die any moment. Days later after I skipped tests and school and was unable to move, no one asked. And one teacher suspected me not doing the homework. This whole year, I cut my arm with knife, entered a state no one could imagined and tried hard but didn't succeed, failed attempts of wanting to sucide multiple times, no one literally cared. Until... now. You can't imagine.... just imagine how this corona virus appearing made lock downs, made me bring back to my normal state (after 20 days) I feel alot happier, right now it is 11:23am and I have classes but I'm skipping them all. (starts from 8am till 2:30pm) I even have a test on 12:45pm But you know what? Health is more valuable than anything else. Trust me this education system is totally Wrong. Basically people are determined that: Study hard = Success = ily Don't study hard= Failure= I hate you. And why I said that "love or hate" is because teachers, students and everyone is completely biased. My story is long and I can't type furthermore but remember... no one will really care for you, everyone cares about what they will get. Remember, if u got successful one day, look at how people will treat you differently and how many will come to you. Sorry English is not my first language.

i wish we had more teachers and more people like her

but what if your homeschooled and your parents are your teachers? what if you don't really have friends you feel comfortable talking about, what if you cant talk to your parents because of theyre a large part of the reason why you're having these suicidal thoughts? There's no teacher to turn to. There's no friend who could help in your time of need. There's no school counselor. There's just you. And only you. You think About how little they care, and how they wouldn't miss you, that they'd cheer or have parties to celebrate. you cry alone in your bathroom until 3 AM and the only comfort being your dog. You think long and hard about how you want to die. You think that you should pick up that knife and harm yourself, or just end it all. The minute you start feeling happy you immediately tell yourself you don't deserve it, you don't deserve happiness. And when you start feeling better, you miss it. You miss the crying, you miss the feeling of hopelessness, you miss feeling like everyone hated you. There was something weirdly comforting about it. You don't have suicidal thoughts anymore but you feel as if you should, like your doing something wrong and you need to be punished but you're too scared to even touch the knife anymore. You make jokes to cope with the pain, jokes such as "Sorry I cant i have crippling depression" "lol wish I was dead" But its true and its a cry for help that no one will listen to and you know nobody will listen and that's why you do it because if you told them that you really did have depression, that you really did wish you were dead, they get uncomfortable and leave and you don't want to deal with loss again because it hurts and you dont want to get hurt anymore. You don't want to talk to your friends because you just feel like a burden, you feel like you've relied on them too much and they're starting to hate you, that they purposefully flake out on plans and avoid you because your just so insufferable. You hate making new friends because you get too comfortable with them and your weird sense of humor shows and it makes everyone uncomfortable, which makes you feel awful. You wish you could get as far away from your family as possible but at the same time, you never want to leave because deep down you care too much about them to even seriously think about leaving. You don't talk to them about the parts that aren't their fault because they wouldn't help. They couldn't help, why would they? Especially when you work up the courage to finally take that step towards getting better, to tell them that you're depressed, but you don't tell them why because you're scared. there are promises of help, therapy, Hugs, comfort. It would have hurt less to just hear them say therapy wasn't a good idea, that they couldn't afford it or didn't feel like it was worth the money. Instead they gave you false hope where you waited and waited for days and weeks and months for this promised help that never came and in the end, you start making reasons about why. Were your problems not bad enough? did they stop caring, do they love you anymore? Did they think it would have been a waste? You decide to believe that they just didn't take it seriously. that they felt like you were just going through a rough patch and it hurt so bad to feel as if they thought your feeling and problems was just a phase. Tell me, what do you do in that situation.

Dear teacher, please just check your paperback of your student's book.

I love how she says “my student” instead of “the student/a student”

I love this teacher. I always wonder if my friends,classmates and teachers or the school would miss me if i ever disappeared from this world... heh.. doubt it. Doubt my family even would...

This made me cry

Today I told my physics teacher that all of us suffer from enormous stress and anxiety because of school and the pressure to receive good grades. He simply said "No" Like what

I started to cry while watching this. I've been feeling suicidal and I didn't know that anybody could care.

Why can’t this be my TEACHER I need someone like this

"They need LOVE and SUPORT and to know that someone CARES" world needs more people like her imagine a teacher writing personalized messages for each and every student, she is giving them support and reassurance and courage and that is what teachers should do, not force students to do something but give them strength and confidence to do it with their own will. People can learn so much from her

this is some of the reasons that i've always thought that teachers are real life heroes. and why i've always wanted to be a teacher.

I had a teacher who noticed I was depressed and cutting my self, she found a sub for all her classes and spent 2 days with me just sitting and talking with me and then spent time with me after every school day. I've never forgotten her kindness and I'm still here.
