What's a question you wished you got asked at school?

How are you? that's a question I wish I was asked at school...And I wish there was time to ask it and give time and space to explore it in our schools from an early age and the resources, human and otherwise to address it.

I'm sorry to hear that yellownanna. That was the primary reason that I didn't say anything. For me it took 9 year to ask for help.

Ps - I think I'm in love with your dog yellonanna, cute picture.

Hi,

This is an older post but I thought I'd bring it back because there's probably so many answers out there!

I wish that I'd got asked 'Did you want to talk?' or 'Do you want to sit here for a while?' I had teachers that knew I was having a hard time, but I often got cliche responses like 'keep smiling', or 'don't worry', or 'it's not that bad'. I think being able to really be heard would have been so important. You never really know how much someone can be struggling on the inside.

Thanks Romantic, thanks for reviving this thread.

I wish someone had asked in high school " I noticed you are often alone at lunchtime, lets talk ".

"I have noticed you sitting in your dads car but you didn't come yo school, how can I help?"

The trouble the girl I was then would have cried and run away if someone had noticed me at all.

Quirky

This is something I wish I had as well. I was by far rather unpopular. I had family problems, which really caused me anxiety.

I wish I had teachers who I guess asked if I was ok. I think that would have gotten me to put more faith into people besides the whole "you're young, you'll be ok"
