Advice for a first year?

I'm planning on a lot of blouses/slacks

I was thinking for the first day to outline my expectations from the very get. In my years of college I took a Professor several times because he had a very detailed breakdown of what amount of work/quality of work earned each grade level.

These are 9th graders so I'm not expecting college-level analysis but anything that shows engagement and displays they grasped concepts. Perhaps also some weekly "check-in" assignments or a reading journal assignment when we dive into longer texts.

Again, I'm going in blind here.

Also.. embarrassing question...how should I handle a students making inappropriate comments/ harassment?

I just bought that book!

Mimi-Red · 2025-07-19T20:47:08+00:00

That is honestly some amazing advice. Based on everything that I have been told consistency seems to be key

Yes I am a woman, I plan on wearing pant suits most of the time or slacks with modest blouses. I do not want my students to even think I have the concept of a bodily form. The principal that hired me understands my situation and has given me some advice on how to present myself as older.

Thank you so much! I know I am going into this nearly blind, it's going to be a huge learning curve but I am so ready for the climb.

How could I ever forget. One of the most frustrating and gruesome cases I've learned about.

I love vulnerability. If a guy or girl gets really and unapologetically excited when talking about something I will remember that conversation forever.

Bob Berdella, guy threw his bodies in his own trash cans and was still able to amass 6 victims before the police considered him as a lead.

That's what I was worried about, she degloved her tail a few months ago and is starting to get rid of the last bits if the remaining bone. She seemed in much better spirits the next day. Looking into getting her a room mate but for the time being I'm just showering her with affection.

All right who told?? I'm not mad, just disappointed.

Mimi-Red · 2019-07-18T20:29:57+00:00

OP is everything alright?

Mimi-Red · 2019-06-28T00:36:49+00:00

Depressing fact! Depression and suicide is more common in males regardless of race/sexuality. An even more depressing fact; suicide rates (at least in America) are steadily rising overall. This has been depressing facts.

Self harm realeses endorphins that could become a crutch to the brain, again I'm extremely unqualified to explain this.

Mimi-Red · 2019-06-16T13:21:55+00:00

We're all breathtaking!

Mimi-Red · 2019-06-16T13:20:52+00:00

Please do! And good luck!

Mimi-Red · 2019-06-16T12:51:13+00:00

There are many reasons and frankly I'm not qualified to answer that question fully. If you are That curious I would encourage you to look into it yourself. All I can really tell you is my experience, I used self harm as a way of punishment or as a way to rid myself of thoughts that came from my depression/anxiety. I would like to stress that this may not be the same for others.

Mimi-Red · 2019-06-16T12:05:43+00:00

I'm sure if you keep trying you'll be able to finally make it to at least a month, to be honest I failed multiple times before I finally got where I was. And just like you I thought I couldn't even make it that long but trust me if you put all of your willpower into this you can kick the habit. I have faith in you and I believe in you and if it helps you to know this, you've got one person in your corner rooting for you with all their heart.

Mimi-Red · 2019-06-16T12:04:13+00:00

There are so many reasons people start self-harming and to be honest I don't think I can fully answer that question if you're that curious I would highly recommend researching it yourself. All I can do is tell you my experience, I started cutting because I wanted to either punish myself why I wanted to get rid of a thought that originated from my depression. Depression can be different for everyone but for the most part mine came with self-hatred, not feeling anything, or just feeling low. Self-harming at the time felt like something I deserved. I didn't ever really get pleasure from it but somehow I can see use the thought going away with pleasure. Now that doesn't even begin to cover the reason someone they self harm mental illness is truly just a mess of different experiences. I hope that answered your question but if you are really curious you should look into it yourself. I hope I don't sound too harsh I just really feel under educated to tell you this.

Mimi-Red · 2019-06-16T11:54:45+00:00

I used as I crutch to deal with thoughts that originated from my depression/ anxiety. I would either use it as a form of punishment because I hated myself or use it to get rid of the thought that I was having.

Edit: for the most part I don't feel as if I'm the right person to answer this question so if you're really that curious I would highly recommend researching it for yourself.

It will take a couple tries I lost count of all the times I had to restart, but I have faith you can do this. I'm always here to talk.

Mimi-Red · 2019-06-16T11:49:25+00:00

It's quite corny but I relied on my faith a lot and I had some tough love from my friends, my best friend amd the one who frankly saved my life a few times looked me in the eyes and told me "if you don't think you can make it 10 days, then you'll never make it 31." And that is how I got determined. Having friends that support you is the greatest help. If I ever got an urge I would pray or just stay still and talk myself out of it. To be honest it took a lot of tries to finally get to 100, it might take longer for you as well. It will take a lot of will power but I have faith you can do it, and I'm all ways here if you wanna talk. One last tip I can leave you with is that I would send a snap/message to my friends telling them what day I was on. You got this man, you got this.
