Talk to Someone

We can all sometimes feel helpless when we experience or even just hear about catastrophes and tragedies. Earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, kidnappings, school shootings -- all these events can affect us profoundly. However, students can be even more profoundly affected because they look to adults to keep the world safe, and when things happen that even adults have no control over, students can lose their sense of security.

With the loss of lives in this recent school tragedy, talk to a parent or trusted adult - perhaps a school psychologist in an effort to help you cope with this terrible tragedy.
