I used to had similar mindset being the 4th child in the family my siblings and mom used to tease me by saying how more rich they would've been if i wasn't here and had bought their BlackBerry phones(10+ years ago i think) which led to days me crying at night and telling to myself how better it would've been if i wasn't born and m being a burden.
"just being overly dramatic" I hate this thinking, it pisses me off. If someone is hinting at suicide it should be taken as exactly that and dealt with appropriately depending on the circumstance. Granted I do understand some people will keep saying they will and never do just for attention however I'd rather take the risk and make sure they won't kill themselves than just straight up dismiss them especially if this is the first time I hear about it from them. It really pisses me off that mindset it really does.
Not really. Suicide is a very difficult topic because many are people ARE being overly dramatic. This leads to legitimate suicidals to not being taken seriously.
@Winnie I had to scroll through that for a solid minute lmao. It's TRUE though. It's terrible that actual suicidals arent taken seriously, but a lot of people who pretend to be this way are just middle schoolers and high schoolers who think it's cool to be depressed and emo
@@suhcheuy268 and what if when that one person who is being overly dramatic actually goes and does it and succeeds? I'd rather take the effort and time to deal with everyone who is even remotely expressing or hinting at committing suicide even if the end result is that they were faking it. To not do so based on assumption of the individual just being overly dramatic could potentially mean the suicide of someone who actually turns out to have really needed that support and help. Suicidal claims should be taken very seriously however if it used and abused by people to get their own way then they must be stopped and even then those individuals need to seek help as well. But generally speaking suicidal claims should be taken seriously as to miss one person due to dismissing them as being overdramatic could mean the difference of them living and or dying. I sure hope you can understand where I am coming from.
@@suhcheuy268 middle and high schoolers are often discredited for the fact that they are young. People think that kids have nothing to be stressed or afraid or sad about. Leads to kids not opening up.
The Japanese one though. I unconsciously kept saying in my mind "please not suicide, please no, please no, please no" and then when the "contemplating suicide" came to the screen, I felt like crying. Fortunately, it didn't happen.
Yup, that sad when people who did bad things realise what they've done wrong, understand why they can't do that, regret, and feel bad about the people involved. But then they just get bashed on the head forever, the true bad people are those who don't give redemption.
I’m not a teacher but I have a younger sister. My family and I live in a rough neighborhood, so the sound of gunshots aren’t rare, except this one night they were particularly close to our house and my parents woke us all up to tell us to get on the ground. While I was on the ground, my little sister was crying, and through tears she said “if we die, do you think we’ll go to heaven?” I cried so hard. She should not have to know this fear as a child. I always think about that night and the words she said, how scared we all were; it motivates me to work hard so that my family and I can live in a nice neighborhood someday.
Back in my high school years, I remember this one time in math class where my teacher, Ms. Una, asked one of my female classmates, Trinity, to answer a question. She said she was having trouble keeping up, and Ms. Una replied: "How, I'm literally walking you guys through it?" Trinity said: "For fuck's sake, I have issues, ok?" Ms. Una asked: "How would your parents feel if they knew to talked to me like that?" Trinity answered: "If I could speak to the dead, I would tell you!" I still remember it like it was yesterday.
@@clawdz.7879 Wasn't much of a reaction, really. Silence fell upon the room when Trinity said those words. It took a minute for Ms. Una to gather her thoughts and told Trinity to take a breather outside. After a few minutes, the awkward silence lifted and we got back to the subject at hand.
My ACT score is in the garbage, It was so low that I thought it was all over for me. High school was hell, and I nearly failed. Now, the first year in college, and I'm on the Dean's list and got a job in my chosen career path. I wanted to share this because of the story of the kid who thought he couldn't be a police officer due to his ACT score. Please keep trying, you will make it, and that goes to anyone.
Meanwhile I'm 24 and still slogging my way through college, and hardly any closer to a history doctorate and teaching. Doesn't feel like continuing to try helps, but I'm too damn stubborn to stop.
I used to get angry at kids that wouldn’t give me their leftovers at lunch because they were wasting food and I had little to eat. Now I realize that was really weird to do, and I look back on my childhood with pity for myself at that age. We were pretty poor back there.
That happened a lot, their would be people who would ask me for my leftovers. I was about 9 at the time so I was a bit confused but, I always ended up giving them the food I didn’t want sometimes I’d be (goldfish, fruits, crackers). I wasn’t wealthy either but I still tried my best to help others.
I work in a high school cafeteria and we had a boy last year digging through the trash. At first I thought he maybe accidently threw something away, then he pulled out half a bag of chips and started eating them. Not gonna lie, I was a little horrified. We told him he didn't need to, we would give him more food, but it didn't stop him, seeing as how as I caught him digging through it again a few days later. We had started a share table that year too. Was an attempt to get the kids to stop wasting food. Unfortunately we had to put a stop to the table this year because of covid. I think the most alarming thing I've heard was a boy say all women deserved to be raped. Who did what to this kid to make him say/think that? I mean maybe he was just pissed at an ex but that threw a huge red flag for me.
I wasn't poor but my mom used to starve me because I was fat(PCOS). Now I just look back and think how much of a weirdo I probably looked like asking people for their food.
Well i think it's me since i was like the only one to do it but i always asked for leftovers, because i hate the thinking of wasting food while others are starving, but also because i was so hungry. The fact that you can't ask for how much you want (yes, you can't, because fuck starving people) is just mind blowing
@@kermitleninja7310 yeah the rules behind serving kids is ridiculous. We have kids that come back 2-4 times because they are still hungry. Those are just the ones that can afford it. At least they can get as much off the salad bar as they want. Also right now, thanks to covid, every kids gets their first tray of food free so hopefully this helps too.
Not a teacher either, but I remember I was in a group project and there was this girl. She was quiet, but always stood up for herself. And she liked to draw and sing. One day, we were outside filming our project, and she started opening up about her family. She said her dad threw a chair at her and called her names. She said that her family had high expectations of her. I asked if she needed help, and I remember her saying something like “I just tell myself that there are other people who have it worse than me”. That broke my heart and it frustrated me because you should never invalidate your feelings because others have it worse. Your problems are problems and you have the right to help yourself. It also reminded me of myself because I was severely depressed the year before, and that is how I thought. So moral of the story, don’t feel like your feelings don’t matter, because they do, and if you need help please get it.
That really spoke to me. I usually just tell myself others have it worse when it comes to my problems. Then I try to shove them deep down or forget about them. But that doesn't always work out in the end.
@@Alex_Masche I find telling myself that actually makes things worse. The feeling of unhappiness doesn't go away and then I feel guilty because I 'shouldn't' be feeling this way. My life is good, I dont really have anything to complain about, so why am I unhappy? I still have trouble reminding myself that my problems are just as real as the next person's and they shouldn't be ignored or not validated just because they aren't as 'bad' as someone else's problem.
@@daniellec3225 Yes. Quarantine made me reflect because I have nothing else to do. I'm coming to realize that what I've done all these years is bad. Forcing myself to forget a bad situation is bad because it always comes back later as an intrusive thought or random memory. And not allowing myself to feel bad and let out my feelings is bad too. It's just hard because I have 2 close friends who are going through serious issues. And in comparison what I'm going through isn't as bad. So then I feel bad for feeling bad (which sucks). Also I don't really have anyone to talk to about my issues, because I feel like things shouldn't be about me for some reason? Like when my friends are talking I should let them vent and I shouldn't make things about my problems. Also my mom will get pissed at me for complaining and just tell me to keep quiet. My mom has it rough to so in comparison my problems still aren't that bad. (Sorry this is long)
@@Alex_Masche don't worry that it is long , and it's okay . Two years ago , i also had a lot of struggles , and i always thought that other people had it worse . Good thing , my parents are so supportive , and also my school understood that i have a problem , and now i'm meeting once a week with a psychological , and i'm doing much better now . So i know , maybe your friends also have struggles , but worse that yours ? No . Why ? Cuz everyone has their own struggles , no matter if it is a health problem , bullying at school etc. I always found it difficult to open up to my friends , cuz i thought they were doing much worse then me , but once i opened up to them , they were supportive , and didn't compared them to me. Anyways , if you feel only , you can always talk with me , or with your online friends , and always remember : you are not alone , and i'm sure many people love you !
@Layne Krusz if people say that you're a lost cause , it literally means that they don't care about you . People who REALLY care about you , will help you no matter what . And i don't think that you're sociopathic . Most of the people , who are sociopathics , don't tell anyone about it , and maybe you think that you're sociopathic cuz you don't really know how you think about it? I don't know... Anyways , i also feel sometimes that people tell me that they love me just to make me feel happy , but how can i know that they are serious ? If it is about friends , then they are honest with you , they tell you their secrets , they want to meet your family , and they also want you to meet their family , cuz they trust you and love you . The point is , if people are honest with you and like to be with you , no matter who they are , if they are family or friends , i'm pretty sure that they love you . And if you have suicidal thoughts , i highly recommend you to talk to someone professional who can help you , cuz having suicidal thoughts for so long , is not good for your mental health , and if you don't want to talk to someone professional , you can always talk with me 😊 ( btw , english is not my first language , so if you don't understand something that i wrote , then i'm sorry- And , stay safe
Being a teacher in engineering, I have alot of students who just don't wanna be there. (In india alot of students are pressurized into engineering). However, one story has stuck with me, one of my students I mentored for her post grad project was on the verge of breakdown becuase she hit a snag in the project and couldn't see anything to go ahead with. She was a genuinely good student and loved engineering. She told me that she felt she was good for nothing and would better be married to man and stop this useless thing she is trying to make. Her project was really good but difficult. I talked her out of it and she was successful.
I am from India too and I recently turned 18 and I can tell that the parents pressure in india is so much that students would rather die than talk to their parents
and i'm giving Jee this year but it keeps getting postponed.life is really black and white when you're preparing for entrance exam from last 3 year of your life had to drop many things i enjoyed. i hope it's worth the hardwork.
that one at 3:50 about the illustrator and the Japanese student just... hit way too close to home for me... i just... god damn... i was able to keep my composure up to that point but... god damn.. just something about that hit me in my core and im over here balling about a story that... had a happier ending compared to most of these all in all... ijust... damn...
I'm a teacher but I was also a nanny. This 9 year old boy once said to me: " I sometimes feel like it's me against the world". I also have a current student... Me: If you do a good job, then you can earn (xyz) Student: So, I'm not going to get anyways because I am not a good boy/smart enough. Makes my heart break 💔. I always tell him he IS a good boy and he IS smart! But he doesn't believe it and I understand because when I was his age when someone said, "I love you", I NEVER believed them since I couldn't understand how they could. That is why I teach now.
You're a good person, thank you, I just wish we made this world. And that this cruel world wouldn't make us. Truth is, most good people turn bad because of bad events, or other bad people. If people just stayed true to eachother, there wouldn't be that much problem. I guess I'm a victim of this myself, I want to do good, but I know that I can't win, so I try to fight the bad but I know that good people will eventually get caught in the crossfire, just the way it is.
Not a teacher, but there was a time where my friend, who was by the way, the one good student who was good at everything and always got A+ on the tests. But once during Art Class, the teacher said, “You got a D.” (We use letters for grades, D being a fail. No F grade or anything. Anyways moving on) and he walks up to me, and simply says: “I want to kill myself.” Because his family is really strict when it comes to academics. They always expect the best from him. And just hearing him wishing for death is just sad.
@@gladiator_117 The mentality still transfers to the kid. I recall in 9th grade I had straight As and one B+, but I felt like such a failure and genuinely wanted to kill myself. Obviously I didn't, and I learned that such an extreme level of obsession toward being perfect was unhealthy. But my parents' strictness definitely didn't help. They realized they were being too strict and loosened up (they didn'tknow I was suicidal, they just loosened up on their own), and I also realized that grades weren't such a big deal, and the rest of high school went by well. I still got near straight-As, so it goes to show that extreme strictness is probably unnecessary.
I see so many comments about raising awareness for child depression and teen suicide and I just want to say, thank you. I feel very sad sometimes and have this big conversation in my head, trying to organize my thoughts and tell myself why I am feeling this way. Then, my brain will suddenly say “ Stop talking like this, you are being dramatic and cheesy.” And I stop. I do not have depression, I am very young (will not say how old for various reasons) but I feel I am more sad sometimes that the average child would be on a regular basis. My older sister was bipolar and had schizophrenia and ended up committing suicide. I did not know this since I was in grade three at the time, and I was just told she was “sick”. I ended up learned she committed suicide some three months later because my mom wanted to tell me when school was done. Anyway back to what I was saying,I am afraid to talk to my mom about this because I fear I will sound cheesy. Plus, my mom always shuts me down mid sentence and says something like “Well, just do this to help!” “It’s because of your screens” “ I don’t know what would cause you to feel like this. Your life is great compared to some people!” I hate when she (or anyone) brings “some people into the convo. We know that are life is great, does that make it bad to feel sad? No, it doesn’t. And all my friends either don’t know about this stuff enough for me to tell them, or just straight up won’t listen. My journal helps but still. Sorry for this long comment, or if you can’t understand. Thanks for reading ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 also listen to the song The Kids Are Coming by tones and I (person who wrote dance monkey). It’s a great song about all this.
I feel the same way. I’m very young myself and I’ve recently found out I’m in love with a girl at school. I’m a girl myself, so I know I’m not straight. I can’t come to terms with myself and I’ve also found I have Anxiety. I feel like I don’t have enough “child innocence” or “wholesomeness” that I should have at my age due to my sadness. I’m also scared that if I tell my parents they’ll be upset that I’m so young and feel this way,and they’ll blame themselves. I’m so sorry your parents are invalidating your experiences, but I do have some advice. No matter how hard it may seem, it will end if you let it. It’s not cringey, or cheesy, or dramatic, it’s your own personal problems that you have the right to help yourself with and treat yourself with respect. I know it’s hard, but it will pass. Teh darkest part of my life so far is slowly but surely coming to an end myself, and I think it’s because I’ve just started to sour round myself online and in the real world with people that are filled with and encourage self love. It helps me. If you ever resort to self harm, I would recommend drawing on your arm. You most likely won’t want to cut on top of your drawing.
heard one from another student whispering to teacher, (the student has bad grades and doesn’t do his homework) teacher: “why didn’t you go to your tutor, your grades are really low” student: “my dad left and i have to help mom because we’re almost out of money” we were just 13-14 back then
I hate it when teachers assume we're having the best lives of the world. But we're all human, we all have problems, some of them minor, but others so much deeper. I have a pretty easy life, but damn me if I had the time to do every single little thing perfectly without cutting corners.
I think I might have made my teaching depressed because I told her that online learning was extremely hard for me because I had gone through it before. I got expelled, hospitalized, and in trouble with the police which had some terrible memories. These memories send me into a spiraling circle of trauma.
My sister had to write a poem in 2 minutes and she wrote down “My life is a lie, I want to die, the end is near, Don’t worry my dear, the world was not made for us here.” She got sent to the counselor because they thought she was depressed and had suicidal thoughts... she laughed at them.
In elementary school I got called into the principals office after writing a poem labeled "Death" for a big country wide book competition for schools. They asked the students to write a poem about a topic that interested them, or a sport they liked, or a memory, stuff like that. Don't remember how it went but I just remember it being pretty proud of it. Well anyways the principal and teacher accused me of plagiarizing the poem then asked if I had any suicidal thoughts. I just meekly had to say no to all of their probing questions, even if I did have to lie about the second part. The poem was just an expression of what was constantly flowing through my sad ADHD riddled mind. School sucked honestly.
Most ppl who have these issues would say the same thing, but when it comes to mental health issues there’s always a breaking point. You’ll say or do anything in the heat of a mental breakdown, sometimes that includes revealing your pain to ppl you didn’t want to.
Ain’t a teacher but a friend of mine who suffered from sexual assault and abuse from her ex-boyfriend didn’t speak up in fear of their family name being tainted, and their reputation ruined. Thankfully she’s alright now.
this one is the other way round, the most depressing thing I've ever heard from a teacher. was hanging back after class to ask for an extension on some hwk I genuinely hadn't had the time to do, saw the teacher unfold a note that had been being passed around. it read something along the lines of 'i hate miss so and so she's such a bad teacher and also really fat." in all honesty, she wasn't my favourite but that was just bc I didn't like her subject, and she was NOT FAT. so she reads it, puts it down, sighs the most broken sigh in the world and mutters "day 47 of not trying to die." then notices me, and falls over her feet to apologise and I'm like 'I don't mind' at this point a little in shock, and I kinda hear myself going 'are you okay?' and she says "some days I wish someone would just shoot me in the head and be done with it. I thought things were going right for once but no, the universe says 'hey, we haven't tortured Allie in a while' and something else goes wrong, like, I just called an ED hotline for my anorexia and I get called fat the next day, real fucking funny universe." first and only time I've heard a teacher swear. I'm going to keep checking in with her for both our problems. i guess it was the first time I realised that adults aren't living in this _perfect_ little world, they're just human too, that they can be just as fucked up, if not more.
Yeah, may it be kids or adults, we all have something that we go through that sometimes is too much to carry. Everyday we have these problems that we carry that makes us feel helpless but not everyday do we have someone or something to comfort us. I hope you and that person is doing good.
my heart dropped at the first grader who was ecstatic to get a box of cereal to himself. as much as i love kids, my heart would fuckin break witnessing these children say it
i had a disassociative episode in class once and i snapped back in the therapists office. appearently i unloaded all my trauma including the 4 times i tried to kill myself, when i got raped at the age of five, my religious trauma and just all the shit that happens at home. longest time in a therapists office by far.
Don't think that they are even unappreciated. Even the ones who might treat us badly teach us things. We may not like them at the time, but eventually their lessons are remembered, and appreciated greatly.
I tend to listen to these to help me fall asleep so while I’m having a pretty awful time and trying to force myself to fall asleep, I click a random video... did not clearly read the title (and that’s 100% on me) but I didn’t expect to be slapped in the face by my own childhood memories while simultaneously hurting for these other kids. Still clicking like tho
One student came up to me and told me he loved me more than his mom, at first I thought he had a little crush on me but later I learned he had abusive parents and the poor kid kept calling me mom the whole year, 🙁😢
hearing these stories really fucks with me. these are people who really, truly care about the kids theyre charged with caring for. the kids who dont have that at home. it reminds me that i dont have it as bad like that, but i still need that care and support. everyone does, and those people give it the best i can. it hurts, man.
I'm not sure if teachers found it depressing because of how they handled it. I said in 6th grade (elementary school where I am) "I wish I had a gun right now" it was turned into that I wanted to shoot up the school because of my bully saying how I wanted to kill him. I got suspended for 2 weeks, he got away with a slap on the wrist, I got sent to therapy but it wasn't good and I wasn't motivated during school anymore. But it didn't seem like any of the teachers cared about what the real reason was
Kids: are medically depressed Boomers: kids these days are such snowflakes, look at the little maggots! *insert minion meme* Kid: commits suicide Boomers: OMG WHY DIDNT ANYONE STOP HIM!!! YOU SHOULDVE HELPED!!!!!
instead of making fun of the kids, please just ask them of they are okay, cause and effect is a very real thing, so do think twice about talking shit about someone whos suicidal 👍
I'm not a teacher I'm just a student but my friend said something really sad I gave him a bag of Munchies and he was excited because he never got one to him self it broke me because I know he's not in the best situation in his house hold his parents are now sort of separated so they are struggling financially and I just feel bad and whenever I can I'll buy him chips or a candy so he can feel a bit better he's one of the greatest freinds I've had and I hope things go well for him
I’m not a teacher but a teacher admitted to me a student talked to his friend about his plan to commit suicide,and he hadn’t seen the kid ever since,he said he probably should’ve interfered cause most likely the guy is gone.
I have a bit of a story but i find it hard to put it into words well right now. The short version is that on one of my worse days one of my teachers (my favourite teacher who i had a lot of respect for) came up to me to check in on me because he noticed i was feeling off that day. It was just a small comment he made to make sure i was doing fine and the gesture of it was honestly really nice. It helped me get through the day feeling much lighter than i did before. The video kind of reminded me of it and i wanted to share it.
Hearing these stories keep reminding me of one thing Dr Jordan Peterson used to say - you can't even imagine how hard life can get. Makes you realise and value all the things you have in life. Makes you humble.
IDK if your quoting someone from the vid or not but don't worry, getting out of bed is a huge accomplishment for everybody. Whenever I get out of bed it reminds me that not all hope is lost.
In my experience as a student, or rather a former student because I recently graduated. The most depressing and infuriating thing Ive heard from a teacher is when she told us to do all of our compiled work load despite the COVID-19 pandemic. People are dying yet we are supposed to do a 100 page written report, meet up outside and shoot a video report despite the lockdown, go outside and do several stuff which were requirements for our finals and submit everything before a set deadline. Its not like were having trouble financially and having issues where and how to buy food or anything. We need to act as if a pandemic and lockdown isnt happening. Its hard to have a teacher who has no fucking common sense.
One kid, used to be in my class. Had some issues I think it was ADHD but was to young to know at the time. All i know is that he would get upset that his parents sold the pills that helped him concentrate. Most of the other kids picked on him because he would get destructive when really upset (like tearing up papers and stuff, nothing really bad) They picked on me to because i was sickly. So, we hung out together and helped eachother out with school work. The teachers noticed he did better when paired with me so our desks were almost always right next to each other. I got him interested in book series like Harry Potter and he would help with my math homework. Ended up leaving that school because i got sicker and couldnt go everyday. He was one of the only kids there i missed. High school age now, i hear from family that still goes there that he has a baby sister and is hoping to get an english degree from the local college. Very happy to hear that hes doing something hes passionate about and that i could help back then.
once i was explaining to my forensic science teacher that i wanted to work in that field and maybe be in a lab or something and he told me that i should just be a teacher or a stay at home mom because i’m a woman. but, i was telling my physics teacher the same thing later that year and he told me that he believes that i can do anything i wanted because i’m incredibly smart and resilient and it just really made me feel 10x better about everything. i don’t think he realized what that conversation meant to me, but he really helped me out. i ended up writing him a two page letter about everything he’s said/done that’s inspired me and made me feel better about myself and my future and he loved it 🥺 thanking him was the least i could do for him because he made me realize that i could work in a lab and that i’m just as good as everyone else
i wish i still had the letter, but he basically just said that it doesn’t matter that i’m a woman or that my test scores aren’t amazing, he just told me he believed in me and all this other shit that i can’t get into or else i’ll cry, but he was really my favorite teacher by far
Storytime So one time in Elementary school I was very very suicidal (famliy stuff) and after telling my counselor about this for about a year he called home and I had a whole breakdown while just repeating “If I had not had told him none of this would happen” I was just scarred of being on medication or being sent to a pysch ward ( I had already almost been sent before) my teacher was forced to come and sit with me with my counselor called home she had to hear my whole life story which is a lot to handle. Also may I point I am I was a very quite and had decent grades. She just got told “hey your student is very suicidal and I need you to sit with her while I call home” she did not even care I wish I had teachers like in the story😭
“I just want someone to love me.” Shit kid, me too. I feel for that. Moreso romantically, since I find that to be the only avenue of affection that I have never quite had any prowess or real potential in. I understand his position though, as while I wasn’t loathed for my performance or immediate physicality by my peers; I was socially excluded for large portions of my early schooling. Just, kids can be assholes and all that, as can adults, but it’s no less stressful no matter what age or level of ability. Hope he’s doing well, and maybe even likes his school work a bit more, good teachers and role models are probably one of the few reasons I even made it to Highschool without an abysmal record. I went from almost failing, to Gifted and Talented. While I understand, I am immensely fortunate to do what I do, the pressure for young adults to perform in the College environment is extremely stressful. I can only imagine how it feels for someone who has enough trouble as it is grasping concepts or dealing with problems not of their own creation. So caretakers and educators, take care of those whom seek your guidance carefully. I know you cannot know all, give all, nor see all, but their little hearts are greatly affected by your own kindness. Where my peers tore me down, my teachers built me up. Where perhaps I felt my loneliest, taking the time to probe me for an interest made the day just a little nicer. Just being nice to me and giving a smile made the darker moments happier. And that was to my own personal experience (much less dark compared to some of these kids; death, prison, depression, and starvation are such things I wish upon no child), some of what got me through my spotted youth. I feel a lot for the girl though, the one who was just to “find a husband”. Such a thing, to decide the destiny of someone and unravel their desires, ideas, and dreams frustrates me endlessly. It should not be _just_ to find a husband. It should be to fulfill her life goals, hopes, dreams (in whatever limited or broad capacity available to her ability) whilst finding a kind, educated, gentleman who is willing to lift her up and support her just as much as I would hope her willing to respond in kind. Love isn’t always to a select mold. Now if it was her choice to approach life that way, and she WANTED to do so as such, I’d be just as supportive. There is plenty room to dream of either. Ugh, I’m ranting at 1:00 AM again because of week 1 of a new semester anxiety...lovely. Anyway, hope whoever reads this has a nice day.
The length and contents of a text shows how passionate you are on its subject. I am glad you overcame your past struggles and challenges and encourage others to do the same; to dream bigger, to help, to try your best and reach your fulfillment. Loved reading the rant. Like many others, it brings food for thought.
Herr Edward It is not a matter of grade, nor of brevity, but of quality and explanation. I wrote it because I felt the message apt, and my experiences valid to share. A sentence covers little more than a fleeting thought.
Chris Tucker Thanks, I am extremely passionate about the education of (for me) college students. But all the more, I care about the foundations made for all who seek (or are forced) to be educated. I want to see so many lift themselves, each-other, and those they care for up. To at least check on each other, or for educators to take a moment out of their day and lift up the least among them. Students may come in the thousands, hundreds, and still every one of them will have to interact with you at one point or another. How they grow after that is a question of importance for any educator. The moment they no longer care for their students is a moment they must dread. For then they become nothing more than a functionary, and that is a travesty. As for the students themselves, what can I say, I am a raving individualist.
9:05 when i heard those words it hit me pretty hard, we all want to achieve great things wether or not we have the energy, motivation, or time, sometimes hearing we've done enough or we're good enough helps more than we think, because we don't see our achievements as great, because we aren't recognised for them, so we aim higher and improve, but when we look back, we see just how much we've missed. So look at yourself, look at your friends and tell them you are good enough, sometimes it helps a lot more than we think
A pal told me a story from his teacher. Dude worked in a low income area grade school and they had this overweight kid behind others on studies. Kid (6th grade) eventually spoke up when it turned out she was pregnant. Apparently the stepfather was that kind of mental and she kept herself fat so that he grows disgusted with her. It only worked to an extent. As soon as the kid spoke up the staff called CPS and the police. She never came back to that home. Now if you read until this point here's another more uplifting story. The same teacher had a student who struggled with academics but desperately wanted to become a cook. So the teacher helped him look for internships and later an apprenticeship in a good restaurant so that the boy could graduate from junior high in 9th grade and go into a special trade school instead of "general" high school he was not interested in. If the boy graduated from that trade school this means he might have found permanent employment as early as at 18 years of age. This also means he can later ask his employer to fund another "trade" diploma if the kid wants to specialize in something and the employer is on board.
I accidentally called my teacher “mom” And then I said “oh yeah I’ve never had one” even though I do so I had to explain to my teacher how stupid I am sometimes
Many of these stories really strike me hard, reminds me of the time i was at middle school. Showing support and genuine kindness to someone can really change lives.
It helps me learn more about this world and helps me realise this world of ours is far from perfect. I don't like the fact that it's consistently negative and often very sad but I can't stop watching at this point.

In my Freshmen year of highschool I had health class. We all had to stand up and introduce ourselves, loves, hobbies, etc. I was struggling with anxiety and depression a lot more than I am now since late elementary school. Once it was my turn, I went ahead and said my name, my hobbies, and how I would love to make friends with the class. You see that's what I wanted to say. Instead, I was so nervous I started shaking, laughing nervously, and looked over at my only friend in that class who was a seat in front of me. "Hello, I'm (name) (last name).. Um. I like drawing, singing, and hope to become an animator or game designer.. I would love to be friends, but, you know you probably wouldn't like me anyways which is perfectly fine and-" Yeah, out of all things to say my brain said "Let's tell them this". The teacher had to ask for my name and told me to sit down, and had a talk which lasted almost the whole class from there about how kids might feel this way and that it was okay, and to talk to people you trust or the counselors available at school. She also said that of course people would want to be my friend. I'm going to be a junior starting this month. And oh boy am I stressed :').
Girl broke her glasses during gymnastics class and started to cry a lot. I told her it is ok and that this happens all the time, but she couldn't stop sobbing and said "mom is going to be mad, because she doesnt have money to buy a new one"
So uh. I had this phase where I felt like I had no time to eat before school and I’d go from 9:30 to 12:30 without a single meal. My teacher and teachers assistant got me a bit of food before lunch (if lunch was bad I’d wait till we went home to eat 3:30)
I felt that, I always feel like if I'm less than an hour before the start of class I'm gonna be late. And some people just arrive 3 minutes before it rings. I don't know why, I guess the fear of being late. Can't blame the school, but I'd like if there was another way than stress my ass off.
About the kid whose mother won't get happy with a good grade, my father used to do the same thing, i never forgot and becouse of that, even if i get max grade on everything, i won't be happy, fo 2 reasons: 1: it wouldn't matter as it was just my duty, and 2: someone elso had a bad grade, and that makes me sad, i think about everyone else after myself, and i care about anyone around me. But my father realized he was wrong when doing that, he never addmited, he never said "i was wrong" to me in my entire life, and i just know he realized he was wrong, well, it was useless, those scars will last forever
I said this and my teacher had heard me, my class was moving to another room for the period so our teacher, a football coach, could get some coaching work done and while walking over a (ex) friend was complaining to me about how she learned about how this person really felt about her (she is very childish and a compulsive liar) and I just said “I always assume people hate me until I get the nice surprise of when they actually like me” and I didn’t notice but the teacher was walking in front of us and I look up and he’s just looking back at me with this concerned look. And of course I had to make it worse by looking him dead in the eyes and saying “oh, I guess I’m a bit depressing aren’t I?”
Bruh shout out to my sience teacher for saying "i care about you" idk how but he knew i needed to hear that. Saved my life. He probably seened it it in my eyes
Not a teacher but someone who heard some shit. i was going to the nurse office because i got my knee cut with glass.while i entered to get a bandaid i saw another student talking to another nurse. i did not hear much but when i was finished and exit i heard "i want to help my sister but i dont know how.she needs me." got lost in thought because of that.
The one about the mom only caring about what the kid got wrong hit me hard. I'm in my 3rd week of the 2nd semester of my freshman year of high school, and I'm passing 5/7 classes, and have 3 A's. (I normally don't try to do my work) I told my mom, and she was like "but you could do better, its only 3 weeks in". like, mom- I was proud of myself for once, why do you always have to ruin it :[
Too many parents are like that, sadly. Yes, I could have tried harder in some things, but when it was announced that I was in the top 10% of my graduating class, and my mother jokingly asked (I hope she was joking) why I wasn't even higher in the rankings than I was, it brought me down, and I wondered why she couldn't just be glad that I had made it where I did. Then, I remembered all the times when I was proud of an accomplishment, but got shot down by someone about it not being better than it was.

I was class one day and I was talking to my friend, i can't remember how it was brought up but I started to joke about how depressed I was. I was really unhappy at the time and going through a lot and I didn't notice but I had started to cry and said "I'm tired of crying myself to sleep every night" And I didn't notice but everyone had stopped talking and stared at me. The teacher asked if she needed to help with anything but I refused any help and sunk into my chair. I always wonder if she still thinks about that? She was my favorite teacher and I looked forward to her classes
Not a teacher, I'm a student. (7th grade moving into 8th grade) In math class, there was this new substitute teacher we had while our teacher was out for surgery. I was having serious trouble since our teacher left, and the sub was no help whatsoever. I'm going through depression, the work was stressful, our math teacher barely gave us homework. She would allow us to do homework in class, and when we do, we get extra points and a sticker (i love stickers so that meant a lot to me). The sub would ALWAYS give us homework, usually 50-100 questions. (she was assigned by our teacher to teach us algebra while she was gone) The thing that made it worse was the fact that all of my teachers give a lot of homework, that was one reason why the math teacher barely gave us homework so we don't get to stressed out. But this woman, everytime I get home, i have to do my chores first, and all that ducking homework. I would always go to bed with a headache, and I would barely sleep (usually i would end up falling asleep around 2am). Not to mention the extracurricular activities. It was hard, extremely hard. One thing she said to me in class hurt, i shit tone. I was having trouble with the work as always, I went up to her desk for her to mark my book. She says "A lot of these are wrong, there are a lot of mistakes you made. Why arent you paying attention in class?" I reply saying "My mind just moves to fast,it's stressful" "What could a 12 year old possibly have on their mind to stress them out?" That hurt, *a lot* and that was days before school closed due to the coronavirus Tl;dr: Substitute teacher doesn't know how much stress school puts on childlren
I was about to say something about the first one concerning being 18 and handling stuff like that, I get that, I was unfortunate enough to experience a lot when I was younger
I remember through pre-school to 1st grade and 3rd grade I didn't have actual friends to me they were all classmate's that I talk too. And I didn't realize this until middle School. I don't understand how I wasn't sad. I was probably the most inoccent kid. Legend says it that I am still innocent. :P
This wrecked me. I’m don’t come from money or from good parents so hearing these stories hurt a lot. Very thankful for God and the loves he’s shown me when I needed it. I just wish these children can find the lord and be healed too. Take care of yourselves folks, you deserve it.
Why do kids have to deal with this shit? Why are some parents if not all too overbearing and just like this? I am genuinely crying right now while typing this out on my phone. What Louis Rossman said about parents are so true, parents don't know how to parent their children. They're so innocent and beautiful creations brought into this fucked up world why can't we just protect them?
The thing that made me cry the most was the ending of httyd (not personal). By the end of the last movie I was in tears of sadness and joy. I hate crying in public, and I never do that, but this time I allowed it because 1, I couldn’t help it, and 2, loosing a part of your childhood really breaks your for a little while. My tears were fat and I probably lost like 5 liters of water that day (not exaggerating, I cried that much). My family asked if I was ok lol
I am not the teacher, I'm the student. I've been progressively losing more vision and currently cannot walk independently when it's gray or see in dim lighting. I cannot see curbs or stairs well. I recently had an appointment with my eye doctor and was told that I would need to begin using a white cane. He also told me he could no longer handle my eye health and was referring me out. I had a conversation with my teacher and I ended up crying with my science teacher and we talked for a while. He didn't insert his feelings but I could tell by his tone that he was having a hard time watching me go through this. I'm in High school and after telling him I was being referred out to a different eye program he asked me "Do you at least get to finish out this semester?" I could tell that he wanted me to stay. I felt horrible because I know teachers have to deal with a lot and I'm already a lot. I'm so grateful for this teacher, he truly cares and knows that all of his students have lives in and out of school. At the end of the conversation he told me that he would continue to support me and was willing to educate himself and help as best as he could. Love this teacher and its only his first year teaching. Thank you to all the teachers who help us with our hard stuff, they are the reason we look forward to class.
In fifth grade, I was dealing with a lot of problems. My teacher at the time had a thing where nearly every day after devotions we would pray and say our prayer requests (I go to a Christian school) Every time I told her that my dog wasn’t doing so well, my family was rejecting her even after she helped us mourn the death of our other dog. They just completely discarded the gigantic impact that she made on us. (My family is full of nice people, they did that because they wanted her to stop being so hyperactive-she was hand raised as her mom died a few days after she was born-and to become more like our cat) My teacher prayed for my dog each time and set up a thing where you can grab a piece of coloured paper (blue meant sad, green meant happy, red meant anger, yellow meant anxiousness) and write your name on it. I explained in more detail how only me and my grandma are aware that my dog wasn’t being treated correctly. My teacher supported me and I visit her and my other old teachers a lot. She made such a big difference.
You know parents just get straight to the point. If you tell that you are depressed, drama, talking to the teacher about some serious topic like suicide, drama. Couldn't these adults take the issue seriously?

"just being overly dramatic" I hate this thinking, it pisses me off. If someone is hinting at suicide it should be taken as exactly that and dealt with appropriately depending on the circumstance. Granted I do understand some people will keep saying they will and never do just for attention however I'd rather take the risk and make sure they won't kill themselves than just straight up dismiss them especially if this is the first time I hear about it from them. It really pisses me off that mindset it really does.
Not really. Suicide is a very difficult topic because many are people ARE being overly dramatic. This leads to legitimate suicidals to not being taken seriously.
@Winnie I had to scroll through that for a solid minute lmao. It's TRUE though. It's terrible that actual suicidals arent taken seriously, but a lot of people who pretend to be this way are just middle schoolers and high schoolers who think it's cool to be depressed and emo
@@suhcheuy268 and what if when that one person who is being overly dramatic actually goes and does it and succeeds? I'd rather take the effort and time to deal with everyone who is even remotely expressing or hinting at committing suicide even if the end result is that they were faking it. To not do so based on assumption of the individual just being overly dramatic could potentially mean the suicide of someone who actually turns out to have really needed that support and help.
Suicidal claims should be taken very seriously however if it used and abused by people to get their own way then they must be stopped and even then those individuals need to seek help as well. But generally speaking suicidal claims should be taken seriously as to miss one person due to dismissing them as being overdramatic could mean the difference of them living and or dying. I sure hope you can understand where I am coming from.
@@TakuCityPop and I'm not justifying it, your right. I'm just stating the facts as they are.
@@suhcheuy268 middle and high schoolers are often discredited for the fact that they are young. People think that kids have nothing to be stressed or afraid or sad about. Leads to kids not opening up.

Yup, that sad when people who did bad things realise what they've done wrong, understand why they can't do that, regret, and feel bad about the people involved. But then they just get bashed on the head forever, the true bad people are those who don't give redemption.

I’m not a teacher but I have a younger sister. My family and I live in a rough neighborhood, so the sound of gunshots aren’t rare, except this one night they were particularly close to our house and my parents woke us all up to tell us to get on the ground. While I was on the ground, my little sister was crying, and through tears she said “if we die, do you think we’ll go to heaven?” I cried so hard. She should not have to know this fear as a child. I always think about that night and the words she said, how scared we all were; it motivates me to work hard so that my family and I can live in a nice neighborhood someday.

I used to get angry at kids that wouldn’t give me their leftovers at lunch because they were wasting food and I had little to eat. Now I realize that was really weird to do, and I look back on my childhood with pity for myself at that age. We were pretty poor back there.
That happened a lot, their would be people who would ask me for my leftovers. I was about 9 at the time so I was a bit confused but, I always ended up giving them the food I didn’t want sometimes I’d be (goldfish, fruits, crackers). I wasn’t wealthy either but I still tried my best to help others.
I work in a high school cafeteria and we had a boy last year digging through the trash. At first I thought he maybe accidently threw something away, then he pulled out half a bag of chips and started eating them. Not gonna lie, I was a little horrified. We told him he didn't need to, we would give him more food, but it didn't stop him, seeing as how as I caught him digging through it again a few days later. We had started a share table that year too. Was an attempt to get the kids to stop wasting food. Unfortunately we had to put a stop to the table this year because of covid. I think the most alarming thing I've heard was a boy say all women deserved to be raped. Who did what to this kid to make him say/think that? I mean maybe he was just pissed at an ex but that threw a huge red flag for me.
I wasn't poor but my mom used to starve me because I was fat(PCOS). Now I just look back and think how much of a weirdo I probably looked like asking people for their food.
Well i think it's me since i was like the only one to do it but i always asked for leftovers, because i hate the thinking of wasting food while others are starving, but also because i was so hungry. The fact that you can't ask for how much you want (yes, you can't, because fuck starving people) is just mind blowing
@@kermitleninja7310 yeah the rules behind serving kids is ridiculous. We have kids that come back 2-4 times because they are still hungry. Those are just the ones that can afford it. At least they can get as much off the salad bar as they want. Also right now, thanks to covid, every kids gets their first tray of food free so hopefully this helps too.
Not a teacher either, but I remember I was in a group project and there was this girl. She was quiet, but always stood up for herself. And she liked to draw and sing. One day, we were outside filming our project, and she started opening up about her family. She said her dad threw a chair at her and called her names. She said that her family had high expectations of her. I asked if she needed help, and I remember her saying something like “I just tell myself that there are other people who have it worse than me”. That broke my heart and it frustrated me because you should never invalidate your feelings because others have it worse. Your problems are problems and you have the right to help yourself. It also reminded me of myself because I was severely depressed the year before, and that is how I thought. So moral of the story, don’t feel like your feelings don’t matter, because they do, and if you need help please get it.
That really spoke to me. I usually just tell myself others have it worse when it comes to my problems. Then I try to shove them deep down or forget about them. But that doesn't always work out in the end.
@@Alex_Masche I find telling myself that actually makes things worse. The feeling of unhappiness doesn't go away and then I feel guilty because I 'shouldn't' be feeling this way. My life is good, I dont really have anything to complain about, so why am I unhappy? I still have trouble reminding myself that my problems are just as real as the next person's and they shouldn't be ignored or not validated just because they aren't as 'bad' as someone else's problem.
@@daniellec3225 Yes. Quarantine made me reflect because I have nothing else to do. I'm coming to realize that what I've done all these years is bad. Forcing myself to forget a bad situation is bad because it always comes back later as an intrusive thought or random memory. And not allowing myself to feel bad and let out my feelings is bad too. It's just hard because I have 2 close friends who are going through serious issues. And in comparison what I'm going through isn't as bad. So then I feel bad for feeling bad (which sucks). Also I don't really have anyone to talk to about my issues, because I feel like things shouldn't be about me for some reason? Like when my friends are talking I should let them vent and I shouldn't make things about my problems. Also my mom will get pissed at me for complaining and just tell me to keep quiet. My mom has it rough to so in comparison my problems still aren't that bad. (Sorry this is long)
@@Alex_Masche don't worry that it is long , and it's okay .
Two years ago , i also had a lot of struggles , and i always thought that other people had it worse .
Good thing , my parents are so supportive , and also my school understood that i have a problem , and now i'm meeting once a week with a psychological , and i'm doing much better now .
So i know , maybe your friends also have struggles , but worse that yours ? No . Why ? Cuz everyone has their own struggles , no matter if it is a health problem , bullying at school etc.
I always found it difficult to open up to my friends , cuz i thought they were doing much worse then me , but once i opened up to them , they were supportive , and didn't compared them to me.
Anyways , if you feel only , you can always talk with me , or with your online friends , and always remember : you are not alone , and i'm sure many people love you !
@Layne Krusz if people say that you're a lost cause , it literally means that they don't care about you . People who REALLY care about you , will help you no matter what .
And i don't think that you're sociopathic . Most of the people , who are sociopathics , don't tell anyone about it , and maybe you think that you're sociopathic cuz you don't really know how you think about it? I don't know...
Anyways , i also feel sometimes that people tell me that they love me just to make me feel happy , but how can i know that they are serious ? If it is about friends , then they are honest with you , they tell you their secrets , they want to meet your family , and they also want you to meet their family , cuz they trust you and love you .
The point is , if people are honest with you and like to be with you , no matter who they are , if they are family or friends , i'm pretty sure that they love you .
And if you have suicidal thoughts , i highly recommend you to talk to someone professional who can help you , cuz having suicidal thoughts for so long , is not good for your mental health , and if you don't want to talk to someone professional , you can always talk with me 😊

Being a teacher in engineering, I have alot of students who just don't wanna be there. (In india alot of students are pressurized into engineering). However, one story has stuck with me, one of my students I mentored for her post grad project was on the verge of breakdown becuase she hit a snag in the project and couldn't see anything to go ahead with. She was a genuinely good student and loved engineering. She told me that she felt she was good for nothing and would better be married to man and stop this useless thing she is trying to make.
Her project was really good but difficult. I talked her out of it and she was successful.

But once during Art Class, the teacher said, “You got a D.” (We use letters for grades, D being a fail. No F grade or anything. Anyways moving on) and he walks up to me, and simply says: “I want to kill myself.” Because his family is really strict when it comes to academics. They always expect the best from him. And just hearing him wishing for death is just sad.
Is he asain?
Don’t parents always say if you do that I’m gonna kill you but they never do because they wouldn’t unless they hated there kids
@@gladiator_117 The mentality still transfers to the kid. I recall in 9th grade I had straight As and one B+, but I felt like such a failure and genuinely wanted to kill myself. Obviously I didn't, and I learned that such an extreme level of obsession toward being perfect was unhealthy. But my parents' strictness definitely didn't help. They realized they were being too strict and loosened up (they didn'tknow I was suicidal, they just loosened up on their own), and I also realized that grades weren't such a big deal, and the rest of high school went by well. I still got near straight-As, so it goes to show that extreme strictness is probably unnecessary.
How did he even get a D in ART class?
YogurtwithBerries I got an f in art class
I see so many comments about raising awareness for child depression and teen suicide and I just want to say, thank you. I feel very sad sometimes and have this big conversation in my head, trying to organize my thoughts and tell myself why I am feeling this way. Then, my brain will suddenly say “ Stop talking like this, you are being dramatic and cheesy.” And I stop. I do not have depression, I am very young (will not say how old for various reasons) but I feel I am more sad sometimes that the average child would be on a regular basis. My older sister was bipolar and had schizophrenia and ended up committing suicide. I did not know this since I was in grade three at the time, and I was just told she was “sick”. I ended up learned she committed suicide some three months later because my mom wanted to tell me when school was done. Anyway back to what I was saying,I am afraid to talk to my mom about this because I fear I will sound cheesy. Plus, my mom always shuts me down mid sentence and says something like “Well, just do this to help!” “It’s because of your screens” “ I don’t know what would cause you to feel like this. Your life is great compared to some people!” I hate when she (or anyone) brings “some people into the convo. We know that are life is great, does that make it bad to feel sad? No, it doesn’t. And all my friends either don’t know about this stuff enough for me to tell them, or just straight up won’t listen. My journal helps but still. Sorry for this long comment, or if you can’t understand. Thanks for reading ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 also listen to the song The Kids Are Coming by tones and I (person who wrote dance monkey). It’s a great song about all this.
I feel the same way. I’m very young myself and I’ve recently found out I’m in love with a girl at school. I’m a girl myself, so I know I’m not straight. I can’t come to terms with myself and I’ve also found I have Anxiety. I feel like I don’t have enough “child innocence” or “wholesomeness” that I should have at my age due to my sadness. I’m also scared that if I tell my parents they’ll be upset that I’m so young and feel this way,and they’ll blame themselves. I’m so sorry your parents are invalidating your experiences, but I do have some advice.
No matter how hard it may seem, it will end if you let it. It’s not cringey, or cheesy, or dramatic, it’s your own personal problems that you have the right to help yourself with and treat yourself with respect. I know it’s hard, but it will pass. Teh darkest part of my life so far is slowly but surely coming to an end myself, and I think it’s because I’ve just started to sour round myself online and in the real world with people that are filled with and encourage self love. It helps me.
If you ever resort to self harm, I would recommend drawing on your arm. You most likely won’t want to cut on top of your drawing.
Lmao same!
I remember the SAT made me suicidal, and when I got the score during a family vacation, I thought my life was over. Fun times.
Fun times indeed my friend.
heard one from another student whispering to teacher, (the student has bad grades and doesn’t do his homework)
teacher: “why didn’t you go to your tutor, your grades are really low”
student: “my dad left and i have to help mom because we’re almost out of money”
we were just 13-14 back then
I hate it when teachers assume we're having the best lives of the world. But we're all human, we all have problems, some of them minor, but others so much deeper. I have a pretty easy life, but damn me if I had the time to do every single little thing perfectly without cutting corners.
Yeah : (

I think I might have made my teaching depressed because I told her that online learning was extremely hard for me because I had gone through it before. I got expelled, hospitalized, and in trouble with the police which had some terrible memories. These memories send me into a spiraling circle of trauma.
Are you okay?
Hey, i hope that you are doing better right now
My sister had to write a poem in 2 minutes and she wrote down “My life is a lie, I want to die, the end is near, Don’t worry my dear, the world was not made for us here.” She got sent to the counselor because they thought she was depressed and had suicidal thoughts... she laughed at them.
In elementary school I got called into the principals office after writing a poem labeled "Death" for a big country wide book competition for schools. They asked the students to write a poem about a topic that interested them, or a sport they liked, or a memory, stuff like that. Don't remember how it went but I just remember it being pretty proud of it. Well anyways the principal and teacher accused me of plagiarizing the poem then asked if I had any suicidal thoughts. I just meekly had to say no to all of their probing questions, even if I did have to lie about the second part. The poem was just an expression of what was constantly flowing through my sad ADHD riddled mind. School sucked honestly.
In all honesty I wouldn't tell anyone about any of my problems to my teachers I'm to scared
Same
Yep, same here, im scared that cps will get called and im gonna be put into a foster home
They found out I've been cutting and now I'm being forced to eat fucking useless pills that was given to me by a psychiatrist
I truly hope you get better tho
Most ppl who have these issues would say the same thing, but when it comes to mental health issues there’s always a breaking point. You’ll say or do anything in the heat of a mental breakdown, sometimes that includes revealing your pain to ppl you didn’t want to.
Ain’t a teacher but a friend of mine who suffered from sexual assault and abuse from her ex-boyfriend didn’t speak up in fear of their family name being tainted, and their reputation ruined.
Thankfully she’s alright now.
LOYALTY. I'm glad. She could've dealt with this behind the scenes though?
I wish for the best for you and your friend
Not a teacher, but once heard my classmate say this:
"We all die. Life is not inevitable"
Can't argue with that.
What a little sentient shit
this one is the other way round, the most depressing thing I've ever heard from a teacher.
was hanging back after class to ask for an extension on some hwk I genuinely hadn't had the time to do, saw the teacher unfold a note that had been being passed around. it read something along the lines of 'i hate miss so and so she's such a bad teacher and also really fat." in all honesty, she wasn't my favourite but that was just bc I didn't like her subject, and she was NOT FAT. so she reads it, puts it down, sighs the most broken sigh in the world and mutters "day 47 of not trying to die." then notices me, and falls over her feet to apologise and I'm like 'I don't mind' at this point a little in shock, and I kinda hear myself going 'are you okay?' and she says "some days I wish someone would just shoot me in the head and be done with it. I thought things were going right for once but no, the universe says 'hey, we haven't tortured Allie in a while' and something else goes wrong, like, I just called an ED hotline for my anorexia and I get called fat the next day, real fucking funny universe." first and only time I've heard a teacher swear. I'm going to keep checking in with her for both our problems.
i guess it was the first time I realised that adults aren't living in this _perfect_ little world, they're just human too, that they can be just as fucked up, if not more.
Yeah, may it be kids or adults, we all have something that we go through that sometimes is too much to carry. Everyday we have these problems that we carry that makes us feel helpless but not everyday do we have someone or something to comfort us. I hope you and that person is doing good.
The cereal one broke my heart 💔
I know... :´( I wish I could help every single one of these kids.
my heart dropped at the first grader who was ecstatic to get a box of cereal to himself. as much as i love kids, my heart would fuckin break witnessing these children say it
Talk about power hungry parents, jesus.
i had a disassociative episode in class once and i snapped back in the therapists office. appearently i unloaded all my trauma including the 4 times i tried to kill myself, when i got raped at the age of five, my religious trauma and just all the shit that happens at home. longest time in a therapists office by far.
I hope that you’re ok and doing well :)
big respect for all the teachers. they go so unappreciated yet can have such a huge impact on kid’s current and future lives
Don't think that they are even unappreciated. Even the ones who might treat us badly teach us things. We may not like them at the time, but eventually their lessons are remembered, and appreciated greatly.
I tend to listen to these to help me fall asleep so while I’m having a pretty awful time and trying to force myself to fall asleep, I click a random video... did not clearly read the title (and that’s 100% on me) but I didn’t expect to be slapped in the face by my own childhood memories while simultaneously hurting for these other kids. Still clicking like tho
One student came up to me and told me he loved me more than his mom, at first I thought he had a little crush on me but later I learned he had abusive parents and the poor kid kept calling me mom the whole year, 🙁😢
You should give him the love he needs 😊
And damm sorry to hear that he had abuse😰
hearing these stories really fucks with me. these are people who really, truly care about the kids theyre charged with caring for. the kids who dont have that at home. it reminds me that i dont have it as bad like that, but i still need that care and support. everyone does, and those people give it the best i can. it hurts, man.
I'm not sure if teachers found it depressing because of how they handled it. I said in 6th grade (elementary school where I am) "I wish I had a gun right now" it was turned into that I wanted to shoot up the school because of my bully saying how I wanted to kill him. I got suspended for 2 weeks, he got away with a slap on the wrist, I got sent to therapy but it wasn't good and I wasn't motivated during school anymore. But it didn't seem like any of the teachers cared about what the real reason was
What was your reason for saying it, may I ask? Was it a joke? A means for self defense?
The boy with leukemia that's story broke my heart (ik it's not a story I just can't come up with another word rn my brain isn't working)
Kids: are medically depressed
Boomers: kids these days are such snowflakes, look at the little maggots! *insert minion meme*
Kid: commits suicide
Boomers: OMG WHY DIDNT ANYONE STOP HIM!!! YOU SHOULDVE HELPED!!!!!
instead of making fun of the kids, please just ask them of they are okay, cause and effect is a very real thing, so do think twice about talking shit about someone whos suicidal 👍
I'm not a teacher I'm just a student but my friend said something really sad I gave him a bag of Munchies and he was excited because he never got one to him self it broke me because I know he's not in the best situation in his house hold his parents are now sort of separated so they are struggling financially and I just feel bad and whenever I can I'll buy him chips or a candy so he can feel a bit better he's one of the greatest freinds I've had and I hope things go well for him
I’m not a teacher but a teacher admitted to me a student talked to his friend about his plan to commit suicide,and he hadn’t seen the kid ever since,he said he probably should’ve interfered cause most likely the guy is gone.
I have a bit of a story but i find it hard to put it into words well right now. The short version is that on one of my worse days one of my teachers (my favourite teacher who i had a lot of respect for) came up to me to check in on me because he noticed i was feeling off that day. It was just a small comment he made to make sure i was doing fine and the gesture of it was honestly really nice. It helped me get through the day feeling much lighter than i did before. The video kind of reminded me of it and i wanted to share it.
4:38 I dont know if its adhd or not, but all I cant focus on is that this person said "flashforward" instead of "fast forward".
Flash foward feels nice to say
Hearing these stories keep reminding me of one thing Dr Jordan Peterson used to say - you can't even imagine how hard life can get. Makes you realise and value all the things you have in life. Makes you humble.
"Probably the bravest thing I did today was getting out of bed."
Damn, that's true though. Unless you put other people before you, getting out of bed is the most hard thing of the day.
IDK if your quoting someone from the vid or not but don't worry, getting out of bed is a huge accomplishment for everybody. Whenever I get out of bed it reminds me that not all hope is lost.
In my experience as a student, or rather a former student because I recently graduated.
The most depressing and infuriating thing Ive heard from a teacher is when she told us to do all of our compiled work load despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
People are dying yet we are supposed to do a 100 page written report, meet up outside and shoot a video report despite the lockdown, go outside and do several stuff which were requirements for our finals and submit everything before a set deadline. Its not like were having trouble financially and having issues where and how to buy food or anything.
We need to act as if a pandemic and lockdown isnt happening.
Its hard to have a teacher who has no fucking common sense.
One kid, used to be in my class.
Had some issues I think it was ADHD but was to young to know at the time. All i know is that he would get upset that his parents sold the pills that helped him concentrate.
Most of the other kids picked on him because he would get destructive when really upset (like tearing up papers and stuff, nothing really bad)
They picked on me to because i was sickly. So, we hung out together and helped eachother out with school work. The teachers noticed he did better when paired with me so our desks were almost always right next to each other. I got him interested in book series like Harry Potter and he would help with my math homework.
Ended up leaving that school because i got sicker and couldnt go everyday. He was one of the only kids there i missed.
High school age now, i hear from family that still goes there that he has a baby sister and is hoping to get an english degree from the local college.
Very happy to hear that hes doing something hes passionate about and that i could help back then.
I relate to the one with autism. I have autism and I love to write stories and poems. I haven't tried scripts, though

Dude could've replaced the 26 to 69
once i was explaining to my forensic science teacher that i wanted to work in that field and maybe be in a lab or something and he told me that i should just be a teacher or a stay at home mom because i’m a woman. but, i was telling my physics teacher the same thing later that year and he told me that he believes that i can do anything i wanted because i’m incredibly smart and resilient and it just really made me feel 10x better about everything. i don’t think he realized what that conversation meant to me, but he really helped me out. i ended up writing him a two page letter about everything he’s said/done that’s inspired me and made me feel better about myself and my future and he loved it 🥺 thanking him was the least i could do for him because he made me realize that i could work in a lab and that i’m just as good as everyone else
i wish i still had the letter, but he basically just said that it doesn’t matter that i’m a woman or that my test scores aren’t amazing, he just told me he believed in me and all this other shit that i can’t get into or else i’ll cry, but he was really my favorite teacher by far
Storytime
So one time in Elementary school I was very very suicidal (famliy stuff) and after telling my counselor about this for about a year he called home and I had a whole breakdown while just repeating “If I had not had told him none of this would happen” I was just scarred of being on medication or being sent to a pysch ward ( I had already almost been sent before) my teacher was forced to come and sit with me with my counselor called home she had to hear my whole life story which is a lot to handle. Also may I point I am I was a very quite and had decent grades. She just got told “hey your student is very suicidal and I need you to sit with her while I call home” she did not even care I wish I had teachers like in the story😭
Damn you I was just ready to go to sleep, now I'm just sad boi...
I never sleep
@@starrynight1165 batman be like
What's sleep?
AHAHHAHA THE KIDS IN MY CLASS WERE TALKING ABOUT THERE DADS- I INNTERUPTED WITH A SAD TONE AND- "I don't have a dad."
I have too many dads.
“I just want someone to love me.”
Shit kid, me too. I feel for that.
Moreso romantically, since I find that to be the only avenue of affection that I have never quite had any prowess or real potential in. I understand his position though, as while I wasn’t loathed for my performance or immediate physicality by my peers; I was socially excluded for large portions of my early schooling. Just, kids can be assholes and all that, as can adults, but it’s no less stressful no matter what age or level of ability.
Hope he’s doing well, and maybe even likes his school work a bit more, good teachers and role models are probably one of the few reasons I even made it to Highschool without an abysmal record. I went from almost failing, to Gifted and Talented. While I understand, I am immensely fortunate to do what I do, the pressure for young adults to perform in the College environment is extremely stressful. I can only imagine how it feels for someone who has enough trouble as it is grasping concepts or dealing with problems not of their own creation.
So caretakers and educators, take care of those whom seek your guidance carefully. I know you cannot know all, give all, nor see all, but their little hearts are greatly affected by your own kindness. Where my peers tore me down, my teachers built me up. Where perhaps I felt my loneliest, taking the time to probe me for an interest made the day just a little nicer. Just being nice to me and giving a smile made the darker moments happier. And that was to my own personal experience (much less dark compared to some of these kids; death, prison, depression, and starvation are such things I wish upon no child), some of what got me through my spotted youth.
I feel a lot for the girl though, the one who was just to “find a husband”. Such a thing, to decide the destiny of someone and unravel their desires, ideas, and dreams frustrates me endlessly. It should not be _just_ to find a husband. It should be to fulfill her life goals, hopes, dreams (in whatever limited or broad capacity available to her ability) whilst finding a kind, educated, gentleman who is willing to lift her up and support her just as much as I would hope her willing to respond in kind. Love isn’t always to a select mold. Now if it was her choice to approach life that way, and she WANTED to do so as such, I’d be just as supportive. There is plenty room to dream of either.

The length and contents of a text shows how passionate you are on its subject. I am glad you overcame your past struggles and challenges and encourage others to do the same; to dream bigger, to help, to try your best and reach your fulfillment. Loved reading the rant.

Herr Edward It is not a matter of grade, nor of brevity, but of quality and explanation. I wrote it because I felt the message apt, and my experiences valid to share.
A sentence covers little more than a fleeting thought.
Chris Tucker Thanks, I am extremely passionate about the education of (for me) college students. But all the more, I care about the foundations made for all who seek (or are forced) to be educated. I want to see so many lift themselves, each-other, and those they care for up. To at least check on each other, or for educators to take a moment out of their day and lift up the least among them. Students may come in the thousands, hundreds, and still every one of them will have to interact with you at one point or another. How they grow after that is a question of importance for any educator. The moment they no longer care for their students is a moment they must dread. For then they become nothing more than a functionary, and that is a travesty.
As for the students themselves, what can I say, I am a raving individualist.
9:05 when i heard those words it hit me pretty hard, we all want to achieve great things wether or not we have the energy, motivation, or time, sometimes hearing we've done enough or we're good enough helps more than we think, because we don't see our achievements as great, because we aren't recognised for them, so we aim higher and improve, but when we look back, we see just how much we've missed. So look at yourself, look at your friends and tell them you are good enough, sometimes it helps a lot more than we think
There Was this support speaker or whatever they’re called and I told them “ I have no soul” and “my soul is to dark for that”
That's just edgy
But whatever, I was edgy too lol
Yup, world sucks, people suck, only people we can trust, is us, and those that you didn't trusted for long enough, to know that they're safe.

A pal told me a story from his teacher. Dude worked in a low income area grade school and they had this overweight kid behind others on studies. Kid (6th grade) eventually spoke up when it turned out she was pregnant. Apparently the stepfather was that kind of mental and she kept herself fat so that he grows disgusted with her. It only worked to an extent. As soon as the kid spoke up the staff called CPS and the police. She never came back to that home. Now if you read until this point here's another more uplifting story. The same teacher had a student who struggled with academics but desperately wanted to become a cook. So the teacher helped him look for internships and later an apprenticeship in a good restaurant so that the boy could graduate from junior high in 9th grade and go into a special trade school instead of "general" high school he was not interested in. If the boy graduated from that trade school this means he might have found permanent employment as early as at 18 years of age. This also means he can later ask his employer to fund another "trade" diploma if the kid wants to specialize in something and the employer is on board.
I accidentally called my teacher “mom”
And then I said “oh yeah I’ve never had one” even though I do so I had to explain to my teacher how stupid I am sometimes
Ain't we all?
Many of these stories really strike me hard, reminds me of the time i was at middle school.

In my Freshmen year of highschool I had health class. We all had to stand up and introduce ourselves, loves, hobbies, etc. I was struggling with anxiety and depression a lot more than I am now since late elementary school.
Once it was my turn, I went ahead and said my name, my hobbies, and how I would love to make friends with the class. You see that's what I wanted to say. Instead, I was so nervous I started shaking, laughing nervously, and looked over at my only friend in that class who was a seat in front of me.
"Hello, I'm (name) (last name).. Um. I like drawing, singing, and hope to become an animator or game designer.. I would love to be friends, but, you know you probably wouldn't like me anyways which is perfectly fine and-"
Yeah, out of all things to say my brain said "Let's tell them this".
The teacher had to ask for my name and told me to sit down, and had a talk which lasted almost the whole class from there about how kids might feel this way and that it was okay, and to talk to people you trust or the counselors available at school.
She also said that of course people would want to be my friend.
I'm going to be a junior starting this month.

I had this phase where I felt like I had no time to eat before school and I’d go from 9:30 to 12:30 without a single meal.
My teacher and teachers assistant got me a bit of food before lunch (if lunch was bad I’d wait till we went home to eat 3:30)
I felt that, I always feel like if I'm less than an hour before the start of class I'm gonna be late. And some people just arrive 3 minutes before it rings. I don't know why, I guess the fear of being late. Can't blame the school, but I'd like if there was another way than stress my ass off.
A 5 hour school day and 1 extra curricular activity every day sounds pretty chill
Yeah sounds ......
About the kid whose mother won't get happy with a good grade, my father used to do the same thing, i never forgot and becouse of that, even if i get max grade on everything, i won't be happy, fo 2 reasons: 1: it wouldn't matter as it was just my duty, and 2: someone elso had a bad grade, and that makes me sad, i think about everyone else after myself, and i care about anyone around me.
But my father realized he was wrong when doing that, he never addmited, he never said "i was wrong" to me in my entire life, and i just know he realized he was wrong, well, it was useless, those scars will last forever
I said this and my teacher had heard me, my class was moving to another room for the period so our teacher, a football coach, could get some coaching work done and while walking over a (ex) friend was complaining to me about how she learned about how this person really felt about her (she is very childish and a compulsive liar) and I just said “I always assume people hate me until I get the nice surprise of when they actually like me” and I didn’t notice but the teacher was walking in front of us and I look up and he’s just looking back at me with this concerned look. And of course I had to make it worse by looking him dead in the eyes and saying “oh, I guess I’m a bit depressing aren’t I?”
Honestly though same, since im normally actually right and everyone despises me
Bruh shout out to my sience teacher for saying "i care about you" idk how but he knew i needed to hear that. Saved my life. He probably seened it it in my eyes
Not a teacher but someone who heard some shit. i was going to the nurse office because i got my knee cut with glass.while i entered to get a bandaid i saw another student talking to another nurse. i did not hear much but when i was finished and exit i heard "i want to help my sister but i dont know how.she needs me." got lost in thought because of that.
Sooo deep brooooo😂
The one about the mom only caring about what the kid got wrong hit me hard. I'm in my 3rd week of the 2nd semester of my freshman year of high school, and I'm passing 5/7 classes, and have 3 A's. (I normally don't try to do my work) I told my mom, and she was like "but you could do better, its only 3 weeks in". like, mom- I was proud of myself for once, why do you always have to ruin it :[
Too many parents are like that, sadly.
Yes, I could have tried harder in some things, but when it was announced that I was in the top 10% of my graduating class, and my mother jokingly asked (I hope she was joking) why I wasn't even higher in the rankings than I was, it brought me down, and I wondered why she couldn't just be glad that I had made it where I did. Then, I remembered all the times when I was proud of an accomplishment, but got shot down by someone about it not being better than it was.

I was class one day and I was talking to my friend, i can't remember how it was brought up but I started to joke about how depressed I was. I was really unhappy at the time and going through a lot and I didn't notice but I had started to cry and said "I'm tired of crying myself to sleep every night" And I didn't notice but everyone had stopped talking and stared at me. The teacher asked if she needed to help with anything but I refused any help and sunk into my chair. I always wonder if she still thinks about that? She was my favorite teacher and I looked forward to her classes
Not a teacher, I'm a student. (7th grade moving into 8th grade)
In math class, there was this new substitute teacher we had while our teacher was out for surgery. I was having serious trouble since our teacher left, and the sub was no help whatsoever. I'm going through depression, the work was stressful, our math teacher barely gave us homework. She would allow us to do homework in class, and when we do, we get extra points and a sticker (i love stickers so that meant a lot to me). The sub would ALWAYS give us homework, usually 50-100 questions. (she was assigned by our teacher to teach us algebra while she was gone) The thing that made it worse was the fact that all of my teachers give a lot of homework, that was one reason why the math teacher barely gave us homework so we don't get to stressed out. But this woman, everytime I get home, i have to do my chores first, and all that ducking homework. I would always go to bed with a headache, and I would barely sleep (usually i would end up falling asleep around 2am). Not to mention the extracurricular activities. It was hard, extremely hard.
One thing she said to me in class hurt, i shit tone. I was having trouble with the work as always, I went up to her desk for her to mark my book. She says "A lot of these are wrong, there are a lot of mistakes you made. Why arent you paying attention in class?" I reply saying "My mind just moves to fast,it's stressful" "What could a 12 year old possibly have on their mind to stress them out?"
That hurt, *a lot* and that was days before school closed due to the coronavirus
Tl;dr: Substitute teacher doesn't know how much stress school puts on childlren
I hated it when I was young and I was told, "You're too young to _____________/feel that." I had news for them; I did feel that!
The story with the art teacher and the letter 🥺😭
Well he survived
I was about to say something about the first one concerning being 18 and handling stuff like that, I get that, I was unfortunate enough to experience a lot when I was younger
I remember through pre-school to 1st grade and 3rd grade I didn't have actual friends to me they were all classmate's that I talk too.
And I didn't realize this until middle School. I don't understand how I wasn't sad. I was probably the most inoccent kid.
Legend says it that I am still innocent. :P
Teacher: For context i teach English as a second language
Kid: its actually capital i
Teacher: *you underestimate my power*
That story, right before the 4 minute mark got me in tears
All of these good teachers but i experience crappy ones
"It's not like there's anyone waiting for me at home."
Felt that.
This wrecked me. I’m don’t come from money or from good parents so hearing these stories hurt a lot. Very thankful for God and the loves he’s shown me when I needed it. I just wish these children can find the lord and be healed too. Take care of yourselves folks, you deserve it.
Thank god for the lady who taught ESL and convinced this man to live on~ not all hero’s wear capes
"saddest things a teacher heard a student say"
background music: im just vibing lol
Not being able to take medication for food…
Having cereal boxs as the best gift in the year…
I feel sad
Everyone claims its dramatic until they realize they were just fogging the reality.
2:29 pretty sure that's supposed to be south east ASIA not Europe.
It must be such a great feeling to successfully prevent someone from killing themself
This actually made me sad
Why do kids have to deal with this shit? Why are some parents if not all too overbearing and just like this? I am genuinely crying right now while typing this out on my phone. What Louis Rossman said about parents are so true, parents don't know how to parent their children.
They're so innocent and beautiful creations brought into this fucked up world why can't we just protect them?
Corrupted by maturity and the realization of how fucked up life is it's so unfair I want to cry
The thing that made me cry the most was the ending of httyd (not personal). By the end of the last movie I was in tears of sadness and joy. I hate crying in public, and I never do that, but this time I allowed it because 1, I couldn’t help it, and 2, loosing a part of your childhood really breaks your for a little while.
My tears were fat and I probably lost like 5 liters of water that day (not exaggerating, I cried that much). My family asked if I was ok lol
I am not the teacher, I'm the student. I've been progressively losing more vision and currently cannot walk independently when it's gray or see in dim lighting. I cannot see curbs or stairs well.
I recently had an appointment with my eye doctor and was told that I would need to begin using a white cane. He also told me he could no longer handle my eye health and was referring me out.
I had a conversation with my teacher and I ended up crying with my science teacher and we talked for a while. He didn't insert his feelings but I could tell by his tone that he was having a hard time watching me go through this. I'm in High school and after telling him I was being referred out to a different eye program he asked me "Do you at least get to finish out this semester?" I could tell that he wanted me to stay. I felt horrible because I know teachers have to deal with a lot and I'm already a lot. I'm so grateful for this teacher, he truly cares and knows that all of his students have lives in and out of school. At the end of the conversation he told me that he would continue to support me and was willing to educate himself and help as best as he could. Love this teacher and its only his first year teaching. Thank you to all the teachers who help us with our hard stuff, they are the reason we look forward to class.
In fifth grade, I was dealing with a lot of problems. My teacher at the time had a thing where nearly every day after devotions we would pray and say our prayer requests (I go to a Christian school) Every time I told her that my dog wasn’t doing so well, my family was rejecting her even after she helped us mourn the death of our other dog. They just completely discarded the gigantic impact that she made on us. (My family is full of nice people, they did that because they wanted her to stop being so hyperactive-she was hand raised as her mom died a few days after she was born-and to become more like our cat) My teacher prayed for my dog each time and set up a thing where you can grab a piece of coloured paper (blue meant sad, green meant happy, red meant anger, yellow meant anxiousness) and write your name on it. I explained in more detail how only me and my grandma are aware that my dog wasn’t being treated correctly. My teacher supported me and I visit her and my other old teachers a lot. She made such a big difference.
"I just want it to stop, I don't know what I've done"
IM NOT CRYING YOU ARE
You know parents just get straight to the point. If you tell that you are depressed, drama, talking to the teacher about some serious topic like suicide, drama. Couldn't these adults take the issue seriously?
Also im in this situation too so yea
