TW:BULLYING!!

Hi reachout forums,

So I just wanna say it's been my first week back at school and I'm still keep getting called names and I'm sick of it. tbh the only reason why I don't like being called that is because when my dad was alive and it kind of reminds me of the memories I could never have with him and the memories I did have with him and it brings up a lot so tomorrow I'm deciding to go to my year advisor even tho it's a bit late in the year I'm gonna ask if I can change classes well the classes I have this kid in because  sometimes I walk out of class and tbh I think it's bad to be walking out all the time and I can't do it anymore so yea hopefully when I talk to my year advisor hopefully she understands

Hi @Tulip_Starling🌷

 

I'm really sorry that this is still going on for you, and I think its a really good idea to talk to your year advisor about it. If there is an issue with changing classes, is it possible for your year advisor to speak with the person that is giving you a hard time?

 

Did you end up having a chat with your school counsellor? I know you weren't feeling fully comfortable about it at one point. 

 

How has all the other things been going for you, like sleep and family-stuff? We know that you have had a really difficult time, and you've continued to show huge amounts of courage, and we're really proud of all the efforts you have made towards creating positive changes for yourself 🌞

 

I also sent you an email, so please keep an eye out for that. Take care, and let us know how it goes with the year advisor.

hi reachout forums,

they probably could talk to the person but tbh i think it would make it worse.

 

i didn't end up having a chat with my school counsellor.

 

family stuff is going good but sleep it's been pretty shit.

Hi @Tulip_Starling

 

I am really sorry to hear that you are experiencing this in class. It must make it so difficult to concentrate when you are feeling so upset. I don't blame you for feeling that way at all. You mentioned that your sleep has been pretty shit. Is the bullying impacting your sleep or something else? 

 

You also mentioned wanting to move classes. Did you get the chance to speak to your year advisor? I know it is really hard but it is great that you are trying to think of your different options in this situation Heart

Hi reachout forums,

 

I think the bullying could be impacting my sleep at the moment or I either am just not generally tired at all.

 

I didn't get the chance to talk to my year advisor because I was and I forgot.

Hey @Tulip_Starling , sorry to hear that you're having trouble sleeping atm. What do you usually do when you can't get to sleep? Not sure if we've shared this with you before, but if you're up for some reading, here's an article on how to get some good sleep  that might have some helpful tips.

 

I also wanted to check in and see how you're feeling about talking to your year advisor. I'd imagine that it might be a bit of a nerve-wracking or uncomfortable conversation to have, so I hope you know that we're here to support you and keep us updated on how the chat goes 😍

Hey @Tulip_Starling, I'm sorry you're going through this right now. Not being able to sleep sounds really horrible, especially with everything else that's been going on.

I know you've already been given a few things to read, but I came across a couple of articles recently on sleeping better and wonder if maybe the suggestions might be able to help at all. If you are interested, you can find the articles here and here. Do you think they might help at all? 

It can be really scary opening up and talking to someone, like a year advisor, so I think its competely understandable that you're feeling a little nervous. Is there something in particular that worries you about it? Would it help to talk through some of these worries and concerns that you're having right now? 

I just want to remind you that we're all here for you, no matter what! 💜

Hi reachout forums,

I think the articles would help 

 

There's nothing in particular that worries me it's just everything about it 

 

It wouldn't really help talking about the worries I'm having right now

That's okay @Tulip_Starling Sometimes it's not anything in particular that worries us, but the situation as a whole. I also think it's really important to remember that your feelings are valid, you're allowed to feel worried and stressed over things like this. And that's okay! Is there something you can do to make it a little easier on yourself, whether it be writing things down or even just taking some extra time out for yourself? How are you feeling about everything else that's been going on?

I know things have been really tough lately so I just wanted to say that you've been doing such a great job at managing it all, just don't forget that you've always got us too 💜
