    If as a teacher I see that a student is actively fighting the idea of me taking her journal, I’m gonna stop, and take a step back. Why would you keep trying to forcibly take it from her, when seeing how badly she’s reacting to it. The teacher is the reason the situation escalated.

      Especially as something as private as a journal.

      I don’t think that was a normal “school” I think it was a place for children who are admitted to also get education. Those kids do indeed hurt themselves on purpose so they can stay at the facility over going home/ to foster care. Doing so may be the only “control” they have over their lives.

      It's a school for kids with problems, she couldn't take the pen with her because she would stab another child or herself with it. Unfortunately, the pen was attached to the journal.

      I believe it's part of a mental health ward/facility type area. Pretty much everything and anything they can use to harm themselves is taken for safety reasons. It's part of the policy

    as someone whose parents abused horrifically, and then spent 4 years in and out of group homes, teen shelters and homeless…. this stuff really happens to kids out there….
    i’m sorry to anyone whose had to try to heal from their abusive childhood

    While I love Max, Iggy is my favorite character on the show hands-down. To me, no other character holds a candle to his gentleness and sincere empathy for his patients. Of course, this isn't me saying that all of the other characters are bad at what they do or are cruel, but there is something about Iggy that exudes comfort and safety.
    I have almost the same feeling about Dr. Charles in Chicago Med, although, for that show specifically, Dr. Manning is the absolute worst, closely followed by Dr. Choi.

      Manning is colder then cold and hostile snobbed.
      Choi is just strict and direct but mostly with good intention and results.

      Its the same actress in different shows.
      She was Gemma in New Amsterdam, Leanne In Chicago Med, Caitlin in Chicago Justice and Beth in Law and Order.

      It’s weird playing different characters in inter-connected series’. PD, Med and Justice are in the same universe but she’s 3 different people.
      Then again, the Law & Order universe is in the same universe as the Chicago series; but S. Epatha Merkerson plays different characters in those, too.

    • @MikaIsDead
      @MikaIsDead Рік тому +4

      @eprimeify2090 Yup. Its really weird.
      The actor who plays Dr Choi in Med played a criminal in the early seasons of PD. But he still interacts with the PD characters in crossover episodes
      I recently binge watched PD and I noticed that a guy who played a Muslim Extremist in season 5 later played a Latino taxi driver in season 9 or 10 🤦🏾‍♀️

      SPOILERS AHEAD but answering one specific person: In a nutshell, Dr. Fromme (Iggy), Head of Pysch Ward, and with a special gift for working with kids and teens intervenes. The girl is asked what she wants to do which she says no one has asked her, but the options are limited: Continue treatment and education at hospital, be put back into foster care (where she's been physically and sexually abused at both foster homes). Iggy learns there was one place she felt safe and loved, but that woman died, so he reached out to that woman's daughter, who eventually agreed to become her new foster mother.

      @earlleeruhf3130 I don't think the foster mother loved her foster daughter more than she loved her birth daughter. Relationships, even one as instinctive as a mother loving the daughter she made, can be wrought with challenges. My own mum and I could not connect no matter what either of us tried from my preteens until my mid-20s.During that time I would've run away anywhere I could've thought of and she would've given me away to a passing circus. I think that's why the birth daughter took her mother's foster child in: she saw her mother did love her, and since they were estranged at the time, her mother had to have an outlet for her maternal nature and found one by fostering another. I think that's why the birth daughter took her mother's foster child in, to honor the loving mother/daughter relationship she didn't get to have with her own mom.
