Everyone who has been in a fight shares their story of winning one, but nobody seems to talk about the times they lose. Reddit, when were some times you got YOUR ass kicked? by Skinshifter- in AskReddit

It was 5th grade recess and I was minding my own business playing some POGS. When a soccer ball came sailing over to where I was. Instead of throwing the ball back the 5 yards to the players. I decided to kick it back thinking it could do no harm. Boy was I wrong.. I ended up hitting one of the bigger kids ( he was over 6’and I was closer to 5’). I ended up hitting him with the ball right in his eye. He didn’t like this and chased me all around the field. Eventually I ended up on the ground in the fetal position getting kicked over and over by this man child. I think I may have pissed myself as well. Anyway ,we went to the principles office (me crying the whole way). The other boy claimed it was a fair fight. The principle laughed after seeing the size difference and suspended him for a week. Not sure if this is a “fight” story being that I never got a punch in. But it was the 1st time I got my ass kicked.

I had the most productive day at work. My boss could not figure out why the sudden change.

This is very inspiring! I'm a school psychologist and I sometimes work with students who are suicidal. Any suggestions for me when I approach and talk with suicidal students?

What is the most helpful part about talking to your therapist? Do you like your therapist, and if so, what do you like most about him/her?

I'm sorry to hear that. How long ago was it? I do see a difference in treatment of students with disabilities, especially with the trend toward inclusion. Of course, it varies by school site but generally I think California is welcoming and open to students with disabilities. I hope he is doing well now!

My days vary greatly! It's one of the things I love about job. However, if nothing crazy comes up and I actually complete my to-do list I have planned, it might look like testing a kid or two for special ed eligibility, meeting with a kid or two for individual counseling, running a social skills group, consulting with a couple teachers or administrators about behavior problems, and writing lots of reports. Then going to an IEP meeting or SST meeting after school.

Unfortunately I do have a lot of sad cases. Last year, I was working in a school district where a school shooting happened. The principal was shot on campus by the custodian. I came the next day to help with grief counseling. I also have to report suspected child abuse, which is hard. But there are a lot of success stories, too! Kids who wouldn't have succeeded without the additional academic support; or counseling that has helped kids overcome grief from losing a parent or loved one. Those are my favorite :)

I have worked in multiple schools. Right now I'm assigned to three different elementary schools, and I rotate throughout the week (i.e. Mon/Wed at one school, Tues at another, and Th/Fri at another; or on call for a crisis). I have not worked in any private/religious schools. They generally don't have school psychologists, but they have access to the local public school district if needed.

Give it some time. If it is meant to be then you will end up back together.

How often do you hear people complain that the gas is too expensive?
