Here's some background information:

Last year, in movie club me and my friends had decided to pool all of our bowls of popcorn into one big stash. Usually we'd get three or four bowls during the club and me and my friends made four people so all together we had more popcorn.

My guidance consular, let's call him Mr. F, singled me out as a greedy and noted how i would eat all of my friend's popcorn. He said to leave some for the rest of them and stop eating everything. I but already have poor body image and the lowest self esteem so when he, a grown adult teacher, said that I broke down sobbing. My friends tried to cheer me up even after I stop crying, it stayed with me.

Throughout that year he made a few more comments of that nature that left me in tears.

My charter school started two weeks ago and my family learned that we had to buy not only a uniform but a mandatory gym uniform that cost $40. I can not paid for that at all, my mom can't afford it. I told M. f that and he started to yell at me at how she can do it and I was just making excuses. then he left, i nearly punch a hole in the fucking wall. Then that night i told my mom that what he said and all about what happened last year. she made a complaint and the next day he called me after lunch to talk with me.

Most would think that he would try to calm me down and talk it out calmly like a fucking guidance consular would, but not Mr. F. He demanded that i tell him what happened in the club that made me upset. When i did he yelled at me and said i was that i was being greedy and stealing. At the verge of tears i told him stuff like that really hurt my feelings. He ignored me and went on to yell at me and how I made the arrangement to eat from other people's bowls. Mr. F said it like I was some sort of fat terrorist after my best friends' popcorn. when I finally cleared everything up, he just stared at me, realizing he was wrong. He tried to explain something but I was crying already and I left out the cafeteria.

That night I cut really badly, reopening a deep wound that killed my butterfly. I though htat I must be fat because he's an adult and a teacher. Kids are mean but it's the teacher's job not to hate you too. I hate him alot for making me feel so worthless.

I'm sorry i just had to let go. Advice?

Tell your principal.
An adult, especially in school, shouldn't say things like that.
I know my teachers have called me "perfect example of a lazy mexican" "demon with no motivation in life who will most likely end up in hell" and it felt horrible.
You need talk to someone higher up than him somehow.

I would not continue to see him. He is supposed to be there for you, through everything. It's their job. He should never have said that.

I'm so sorry that happened to you. Fuck him, he's not worth anything if he made you feel like that.

at the end of the day adults are just "grown up children"
I mean technically I'm an adult, so if you think validates what I say even more I'm telling you as an adult: You are perfect, lovely, wonderful and that counsellor- is a callous inconsiderate pathetic jerk.
Why should he think its alright to berate other people?
Adults get it wrong- they are not always mature, and 'right', we should respect our elders but we can recognize when they are wrong. It took me a long time to realize that adults make mistakes, are selfish, are cruel, say untrue things. My teachers and counsellors included. I remember doctors actually laughing about my self-harm [they get nervous and don't understand how to take it]

I would give him a chance to apologize [he fricking better] and then request another guidance counsellor.
I'm sorry he made you feel like that -big hugs- you don't deserve it

I really dislike adults that feel the need to verbally assault people younger than them in order to gain an ego boost. It's sickening and is just as bad, if not worse, than someone your own age saying those things. If your friends had a problem with combining their popcorn together I'm sure they would have said something :) As for the guidance counselor, I would go to your school's Board of Education and have your mother write a letter to the principal and to the Board and ask for him to be removed from his job because who knows, he may treat other kids EXACTLY how he does to you. You don't deserve it nor does anyone else.

Thanks everyone, my mom did make a report that friday but nothing was done as far as i can see. My school is set up so you have the same guidance consular through your high school adn middle school life. The two consular switch grade levels every year, so I'll always have him. It can't change.

But if there's a problem this huge, they should make some change to let you switch. And honestly, if they don't, I'd sue. Because NO ONE should be treated like that at school and have nothing done about it.

My school gives a guidance counselor to each person, but I know of people at my school who have requested a change due to them not getting along. Counselor's are supposed to be there to help, not make you hurt.

But yeah.. look into all your options.. be prepared to take this away from the school and to your entire district.. and if that doesn't work then take drastic moves.. Honestly.. he doesn't sound like he deserves his job.

Remember that that's not true, and you don't deserve to be told that, and you're an amazing person.

(I know that sounds kinda drastic, but really it's not.. because that's not fair to anyone.)

Good luck with everything <3
