Student crying and upset?

okay, say that a student comes to you really upset and cries to you, after they say that they want you to leave them alone. the student is having family problems. if you say to them "did you make an appointment with the guidance counselor, no?" (cause you know they didnt) and the student says, "i dont want to talk tothem." and you say "but you came to me" and the student looks down, crying, does this mean that they trust you over other people? explain please?

Student crying and upset?
yes because he knew the counselor could help him,but he or she still went to you,that is a good thing,but try your best to talk to them,because they trust u more.
Reply:First off i am assuming your a teacher. Students sometimes feel more comfortable coming to their teacher with problems as they see them every day. Many students hardly ever see their guidance councilor and don't tend to feel very comfortable around them. Besides teachers tend to be better at dealing with kids then guidance councilors.
Reply:pretty much...


i would do the same. i feel more comfortable telling someone my problems that i actually know and like. rather than a stranger
Reply:often times peers can find emotion understanding more readily from other peers than adults. to this person u must seem sincere, empathetic and concerned - all really good things. you can help further by continuing to encourage the person to seek adult help within the school. the counselors are there for that purpose. on the off chance that the counselors prove ineffective there could be a teacher or two who are sympathetic, also there are church ministers as well as professional psychologists who specialize young people's problems.
Reply:i hardly even knew my guidence counselor. if i had to talk to someone when i was in school there were few people that i could trust. the fact that this student chose u means alot. you should give alot of thought into what you tell her. sounds like youre her role model. there arent many of those around anymore
Reply:well,yeah.she probably trusts you more than anyone else.probably because she's already tried the guidance counselor or something.it's probably because she has no one else to turn to but you...i mean,think about it.try giving her the BEST advice.
Reply:You have a moral choice here. This person obviously came to you for some kind of reassurance. They want you to leave them alone but came to you anyway. This person needs a friend. Even if you never become friends with this person you can still try to be nice and helpful if even for just a moment.


What if you were in the same situation and your only choice was to ask help from someone you didn't like.


What do you want people to think about YOU! Are you nice? Do you enjoy helping those in need? Or are you selfish and too important to your own ego to go through life stomping on the feelings of others? In the long run other people even your friends will take notice of your actions. How you choose to react is how people will eventually react to you. What if one of your friends needed help? Would they want to go to a person who had no heart?
