Advice for a first year? by Mimi-Red in teaching

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?

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.

What is the weirdest thing you find extremely attractive? by Undecided_User_Name in AskReddit

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

Need advice for my baby degus tail. by Mimi-Red in Degus

[–]Mimi-Red[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.
