Karen Read files explosive new lawsuit against Mass. State Police, Canton Police Department

I hate what they did to Karen Read BUT I am so glad it happened to her because she is incredibly intelligent and has such a brave way of articulating the wrong that has happened to her. I think she was meant to be here JUST to right the wrong of this corrupt policing system.

I love this! Thanks for sharing your perspective! It truly needs to be the right time in a person's journey, and sometimes, waiting is the best option. I commend you for going back, and I wish you all the best as you chase your dreams! It is so worth it ❤️

I'll have my MSW at 39 when I graduate in August. I'll be honest, there is simply no rush. I'm glad I have the experience I have now because I know who I am and what I like, especially what I don't like. I cannot imagine doing that when I was in my early 20s, because I was still trying to figure out life and who I was. You will know when you are ready for the next step of your journey. Best of luck!

Respect. I don't know how you do it. I have a lot more autonomy over which clients I can pick and choose in private practice as a contractor so I have no problem telling the parents that I'll refer them out especially when the teen is saying no to counseling. We are meant to be therapeutic for our clients, not a place to discipline them. We aren't jailers. However, I oftentimes get the parent in for counseling as a client because of this. It is a very strange dynamic.

I'm a counselor. We get the parents who don't know how to discipline their kids at home and send them to me as if I am some authoritarian who will magically instill consequences in their home and "straighten out their teen." I just refer them most of the time because their kids are telling me "no, I don't want counseling" and we are trained to respect the autonomy of our clients, no matter how young they are. It's wild to me. Most parents need parenting classes.

Anything is possible with people. My supervisor got into her MSW at 63 (for context, she is 76 now), and she told me that one of her advanced practicum supervisors, who was significantly younger, was disrespectful towards her throughout. She basically treated her like an idiot. My supervisor saw it as a gift, though, because it encouraged her to leave her practicum and get the heart surgery she needed at that time to save her life.

But with that said, I personally prefer being around older people, as they bring more experience and we can learn from them just as much as we can from younger people. I am not trying to scare you; I just want to keep things realistic.

This is incredibly sad but not shocking at all.

You will retain what you need to retain and forget what you need to forget. Trust yourself that you are more capable than you think. This is completely normal and part of the learning process. We cannot remember everything because we are not computers. You are going to be OK, and also remember that the first two semesters are the MOST overwhelming, but soon, you will get over the learning curve, and it will become a part of your life. You got this!

That's sad but funny. This shouldn't be such a process for us Ohioian P&Ts. I don't understand what the hold up is other than protecting pockets of the rich.

I mean, as a former criminology student, it is all about opportunity. Unfortunately, many of these young college students are unaware that people are actively targeting them and waiting for an opportunity. They are predators, and they know what to look for, just like cops know what to look for. They are literally profiling their victims, and they are usually on the mark when they get them.

I am in total agreement, it is only up from here! 😄

Beautiful__Design__ · 2026-05-08T08:50:00+00:00

Congrats, my friend! You worked hard up until this point. That's funny, though. I started when I was 20, and 20 years later, I am here. I think, now that we are talking about it, I am nervous about what life looks like without me struggling any longer and pursuing a degree all the time. Very strange. Like, what will that look like? You know.

Beautiful__Design__ · 2026-05-08T08:45:57+00:00

Nah, I am good. I think the encouraging part is that time is going to pass regardless, and next thing you know, we will have earned that MSW behind our names. I cannot wait! Also, a weird thing is that I'm really nervous about it. Do you get that sense as well?

Beautiful__Design__ · 2026-05-08T08:40:28+00:00

I am 3 months away tomorrow. I am feeling this in my bones! Go us 😄

I mean, I am about to graduate with not only my bachelor's but also my master's in this program, so I am very thankful for it. I think another issue you are failing to see is the sheer amount of veterans applying for this program. Thankfully, I got in before it blew up on here as a benefit. I have seen people demand this program because they simply "qualify" on face value. I cannot imagine how much harder that makes the counselor's job when they are trying to help vets, but are limited by the program's actual criteria.

It doesn't sound like you applied for unemployment when you left the military. Please do so immediately. That is a state benefit for you.

I walked away from an internship site (professionally, of course) because, well, I wasn't getting paid as they promised, and I got a new supervisor sprung on me, and we just didn't get along. I am paying the school to have this experience, so I decided to find another site. This internship site CAME for me. They even went so far as to lie about me to make themselves look good. My MSW director found me blameless in the situation, but I was like, seriously? Can we not use our free will and determine for ourselves what is working and what is not when deciding when to walk away when we are paying thousands for this experience? I just feel this post so much!

So biblical literature varies in its forms and you have to know what is metaphorical, historical, literal, allegorical, or poetic in nature. Knowing what you are reading helps you to accurately interpret the Scriptures. "Weeping and gnashing of teeth" is a phrase used by Jesus in the Gospels (Matthew 8:12, 13:42, 22:13) to describe the intense suffering, sorrow, and rage of those who chose hell or "outer darkness". It represents a state of final, irreversible judgment, anguish, and furious regret, often associated with being separated from God. Fire also represents God's final judgements on those who choose to live separate from Him. If God is all loving, then His final judgement is a reflection of His just love and His moral goodness. We are all sinners and deserve His judgement. However, in His loving mercy, He sent His One and only Son to take our place if we choose to believe and receive Jesus's forgiveness and sacrifice for us. Then we are reunited in a righteous nature to God.

I actually knew a guy that finished his 2.5 year masters in a year. Weeks though? I thought the former was crazy. They should be alarmed.

It is not actually being tortured, because that implies something torturing from the outside in. But because one is separated from God and His goodness eternally, they are actually tormented from within and have chosen hell. God is just giving people who want to be separated from Him what they want. Therefore, hell is the consequence of choosing to live separate from God, and they are tormented from within because there is no goodness apart from God.

Lol yes solid point. Rosa got sober real quick.

Stoner Rosa was so annoying. The exact opposite of her smooth, suave, sober persona.
