View Full Version : Should I speak to my teacher?

So I thought about it and I might go and see one of my teachers that I trust and talk to them about how my mum having cancer is affecting me and also the fact I can't trust any of my friends.
If you're wondering why I can't trust them, and then why I call them friends, it's purely because they are the only two people I talk too generally about things and I do not trust many people. Also because these friends do stuff together without inviting me and when they do, I always make up an excuse to not go because I do not want to leave my house.
Anyway, back to the main thing, lately I have been feeling quite sad and depressed for the slightest reason and for the most part I am depressed because my mum keeps saying she will die all because of cancer and I am always reassuring her that she won't and she will grow old to retire to wherever with my dad.
So then I was thinking about this crazy idea to go and speak to this teacher that knows what is going on with mum and talk to her about how I am feeling.

Basically, I just want to know if that is a good idea and really I am asking because I need the encouragement because I really don't want to, but part of me is telling me I should.

Thank you in advance. :)

You should absolutely talk to your teacher. Talking to someone nearly always helps, I'm glad you feel like you should. Definitely follow your instinct here.

It's good to have a teacher you trust. I don't think it's a bad idea at all. Go and ask them if you can talk to them and I'm sure they'll be more than willing. I used to talk to my teachers a lot and, even if I didn't, there were certain teachers who knew something was going on with me and were more than accommodating.

I'm sorry to hear about your mum. Cancer is incredibly scary and I'm sure she doesn't want to die but sometimes it's hard to deal with the fact that it may happen. That fear can really suck people into it.

Go for it. Right now, you clearly need a support system. And if one teacher can help, that's a good thing. Also, if you ever want to talk, feel free to PM me.

Yes. Tell a teacher. They are there for you (most of them) and would want to help in anyway they can.

It sucks your mum has cancer. I hope shes dealing with it ok.

Yes i would. They will pay more attention to you just to see of you're struggling or not. I think it will definitely help
