What is counseling?

It is a chance for you to talk about anything that might be "buggin" you!

Some reasons to come talk to your school counselor are:

1. If you’re having trouble with school or homework…
2. If you’re worried about a test…
3. If you are fighting with your best friend…
4. If you parents are getting divorced…
5. If you are worried about a friend…
6. If you want to learn about high school…
7. If you want to learn about careers…
8. If you are just having a bad day and want someone to talk to!!!

How do I come see a counselor?
Just stop by Mrs. Flenner’s office before, after school or during lunch. If it's an emergency, just ask your teacher if you can come up to the guidance office.

Will you tell my parents and teachers everything I say?
When we talk I will do my best to keep our conversations confidential. Confidential means “between you and me”. If we are talking about how angry you are at your sister or how worried you are about you math class… things like that we can keep that between you and me.
Sometimes, however I may have to break our confidentiality and ask for more help. A reason I may do this is if you plan on hurting yourself or others or if someone is hurting you. If you have questions about this, just ask me!
