I see you. I've been there. You're the bullied kid who defended themself, after having enough. Being teased and taunted by the other kids on a daily basis gets to you. It makes you angry and you often don't know how to respond. The school doesn't think this is "normal" and tells your parents to take you to a counselor for punishment. And the counselor makes you answer all kinds of stupid questions, and play dumb games, and is often going to give you terrible advice, which gets terrible results, and it's a perfect way to make it seem like you "need" them. Remember that counseling is a joke. Eventually, if you tell them what they want to hear enough, they'll usually let you stop going, after they figured they've bankrupted your parents enough and aren't going to be able to milk them for any more money. They want eye contact...unfortunately you have to force it as much as you can because they think it shows respect or something. They want you to be 100% serious, no joking despite how much of a joke the counseling actually is.
Remember you don't need a counselor. The counselor just needs kids who are a little unusual to keep earning their paycheck. You're the reason they have a nicer car than your parents do. They prey on school children for their income, and relish the thought of a new child whose spirit they can crush. But keep being you...just hide it for an hour or so each week until they let you free.

Counseling is punishment for being bad
That's what it was when I was a kid. That's why no one will ever make me go now....
Just because you've had a bad experience doesn't mean counselling is bad. I've been before after losing a close family member and it really helped me.
ReplyKids are brain washed so that they fit nicely into society. How dare they be different.
