In regards to the current situation with my daughter, Demi and Jessa, I feel we need to clear the air. My daughter takes her academics and athletics very serious, as she sets goals and understands actions at this stage in her life could impact her post secondary education. Sarrah had struggled with her friendship with Demi for many years. Even though, Demi behavior has affected her both academically and socially, Sarrah tried to support her. This particular behavior has followed Demi into high school, with several incidents being dealt with by the Redmond facility. Outside of school, there has been many incidents, where Demi’s social behavior has upset Sarrah and Sarrah has been mocked, laughed at and humiliated for not participating. …show more content…
This has been ongoing for 4 years and culminated with very innocent act, where a pair of jeans got ripped. The aggressiveness of Demi, the repeated social media outburst and excessive snapchats brought Sarrah to the conclusion that she no longer wanted to continue this friendship with Demi. She did relay to Demi, that she wanted some space, which caused Demi to increase her aggressive social media messages. At this point Sarrah felt it was in her best interest to block all social media, texting contact with Demi. This infuriated Demi and she has chosen to make exaggerated accusations that my daughter is, “bullying …show more content…
Antognetti class. Ms. Antognetti kindly offered her time at the end of the day for the students to complete their assignment. The three students were Sarrah, Emma and Gloria. Sarrah sat in the middle of the room by herself so she could focus on the art assignment without distraction. As she was completing her work, Sarrah noticed Jessa come into the classroom, at around 3:00. Jessa stayed in the room and then left, approximately 3:10. A few minutes later Jessa returned with Demi and 3 of their friends. They processed to sit behind Sarrah. At one point Sarrah requested from Ms. Antognetti that she return Monday to complete her assignment. As per the conservation between yourself, Sarrah and I that morning, Sarrah was trying to follow your instruction of separating herself from any situation that included Demi and Jessa. Unaware of the ongoing situation, Ms. Antognetti indicated that she should, "just stay and get it over with, so she wouldn't have to worry about it over the weekend". Jessa, Demi and their friends stayed until Sarrah had completed her assignment. At approximately 3:30, she called me to pick her up, as she was concerned about any potential issues that could arise off school property. Shortly after, I picked her up. She was visibly
Stargirl was not treated fairly by the student body. If she was treated nicely by her peers, she would not be bullied, be called names, or be brutally insulted. The way Stargirl’s classmates treated her was not kind or appropriate. If someone treated someone else like that at any other school, they would get in serious trouble. This is why the students at Mica High were too harsh when
No one would talk to her, recess was spent in anguish, and she would find garbage and spoiled food in her book bag. As she progressed into 5th grade, some of the social atmosphere began to shift in subtle but profound ways. Being accepted into a clique is all that matters. Instead of being admired for class participation, as in earlier years she was laughed at and labeled as “teacher’s pet.” She said the rules were simple “shun or be shunned—if you weren’t willing to go along with the crowd, you would become the reject.”

There are many examples of the kids acting with bad judgement towards Margot, subsequently alienating her. The first time this shows up is when one of the boys shoves Margot not once but twice because she didn't immediately respond to him. Another example is when all of the Venus school
Tony and Giles both rested their gaze upon their fleeing companion, but to which Jess ignored. She continued on, delving deeper into the behemoth’s lair, laying her eyes upon the riches that awaited her back on the surface. She didn’t notice the amphibious monster approach her, the pain, or her mouth screaming. She didn’t even notice the blood protruding from her chest before the life left her
I should learn how to understand and get to know the child. There were two mistakes that I was able to identify thanks to the theory of Therapeutic Alliance. It is not just reading the questions and getting answers to complete the assessment. To begin, I needed to build a trustworthy scenario where children will be able to talk and disclose the information easily. Unfortunately, my settings does not allow me to provide the child a private place where they are able to disclose information that they may feel comfortable to discuss any topic. As well I needed to advice and explore with Maria which is the problem and help her to identify how to approach the issue. Mostly important that Maria thought there was no issue. The book Interpersonal Process in Therapy by Edward Teyber “In keeping with Client Response Specificity it will be more challenging for some cultural groups to engage initially because family structure or culture endorses a more hierarchical teacher-student (therapist-directed) interaction. Age, race, economic class,
When asked of her daily routine she explained that when someone notices abnormal behavior she calls students to her office to speak with them to find out what is happening. She then works with the social worker, school resource officer, administration and parents to resolve these issues. This is what the majority of her time is spent on with a small portion going to the community events. As I shadowed her for a couple hours of my day what we were able to do is deal with student issues that ranged from young adolescents that had social issues (boyfriend/girlfriend) to students that had a troubled home life and needed assistance. Another area that she deals with a little is helping the pregnant adolescents prepare themselves for motherhood and the responsibilities that are associated with raising a child. In 2012-2013 school year there were over 8 adoles...
Right now she has a Para that has the student as her main student, but she also cares for two other students. The mom is scared for her daughter and for the other two students safety. One example they gave was that during the fire drill last week, the student seized as all the other students were out of the building and the Para had to help the other students too. Another example is that the student seized when about to enter the pool and she almost smack her head. When they were talking about this topic I really started to think what I would do in the situation. This student seizes everyday the mom says, so that is a huge safety concern. I think she should have one, but at they meeting they were saying that the mom is really going to have to fight for this. Which reminded me of the Dear Collage letter and how the parent has to be the biggest advocator for their child, if they want it done right. I believe this mom will, because you could see her concern not only for her child but the other children that would be unintended in a situation when the student does have a
She avoided me and refused to answer any texts. On the other hand, I had Aidan pouring fuel on the fire and dispersing sarcastic comments left and right. Somewhere in the midst of this he created a Mean Mady club and said I was the leader. Days at LCDS began to run slower and slower and I honestly wanted to know what was wrong with Mady blissfully unaware of the crap Aidan was throwing out. “You’re cyberbullying” this girl named MaKayla told me. Cyberbullying? Because I texted Mady wanting to know what was wrong? Early one morning I had an urge to get to the bottom of what was going on. I texted Mady saying I had no idea what was going on and I really wanted to go back to the way things used to be. Who responded? Not Mady, but her mom, Kate. She scolded me for “bullying” her helpless daughter and that I should be ashamed of the language I use. I had no clue what she was talking about but immediately after reading the text, a pall of dread enclosed around me. Panicked, I went to my mother. She too had been confused by the whole ordeal, and told me to respond asking what she meant. What it came down to was Kate Gosselin screaming at my mom over the phone as my mom yelled
She needs to have clear cognition and proper reasoning before solving the environmental issues her parents had created with their over-demanding and overprotective rules.
Being alone most of the time, the daughter becomes accustomed to taking care of herself and being alone. Her mother convinces her to join the cheerleading team at school to get her more involved with others but it only provided more discomfort. Because the mother is not around often the daughter’s personality develops and formed her into more of a lone wolf. She pushes others away from her even when they attempt to reach out to her as the other cheerleaders did from time to time. If the mother and daughter in this story had a better, stronger relationship it is likely that the daughter would not keep to herself as much and consequently would not make the decisions that lead to her injury later on in the story.
When life becomes overwhelming during adolescence, a child’s first response is to withdraw from the confinement of what is considered socially correct. Individuality then replaces the desire to meet social expectations, and thus the spiral into social non-conformity begins. During the course of Susanna’s high school career, she is different from the other kids. Susanna:
She didn’t want sympathy, but she received the pity look when her friends realized she did not make it. When she got home that night, she questioned everything. Is she not likable? Do teachers not like her? Why does she work so hard to just be disappointed?
Precious does not attend a typical high school, like other 17 year olds. In fact, many aspects of Precious’ life are not common for adolescents in her developmental stage. According to Ashford and LeCory individuals in the adolescence stage are still developing parts of their brain that control emotions, problem solving and judgment (2013). While Precious may be handling a lot of adult situations, there are areas of her brain that are still learning how best deal with these events. As Precious’ social worker I recognize that she may struggle when it comes to handling big decisions, like how to afford supplies for her children or where to live, more than someone in early adulthood. To resolve this Precious and I will be working with her case manager and teacher at “Each one, Teach One” to help her apply for jobs, government funding and housing.
Rita Pierson has been a child educator for over forty years, teaching junior high, elementary school, and special education. She was also a testing coordinator, an assistant principal, and a counselor, bringing a special energy into every role. Rita Pierson gives this speech to an intended audience of educators throughout the world, showing how relationships can affect a child’s academic studies. I believe Rita’s speech is appropriate for her intended audience because there are some educators out there who do not believe in relationships can alter a child’s view on education.
