Sorry that this is so long. I have to be really precise about what I am implying (and am not implying) because trolls on this site are looking for any reason to verbally abuse anyone. This story is in response to the stereotyping prompt. I knew a kid who was ridiculously book-smart--literally Stanford-level talent at science and writing. Talented, creative musician too. She happened to be stuck in a rough family situation. It had always made school more difficult, but in the past, she had always persevered through, even in all her accelerated--and double accelerated--classes. Her home situation started to get even more out of hand, and the kid had the courage to confide in Mr. Englerth about what was going on. He listened to her concerns earnestly and tried to help her as best as he could. Good on him, really. :) Unfortunately, he simultaneously began to treat her like a broken kid. I think he assumed she couldn't have the executive functioning others her age could. (Mind you, that couldn't be further from the truth.) Many times, he told her it wasn't "reasonable" for her to take as many AP's or even honors classes as she wanted. She ended up listening to him and dropped the hard classes. Worst of all, she started to genuinely believe she was just some troubled kid, unable to achieve what the others did; even though she knew she was smart, she felt she was too much of a basket case to show it. Even in her required classes, she started underperforming and missing a ton of school. Since fourth grade, her dream school was Harvard. (She probably was smart enough not to tell Mr. Englerth because she didn't want to be considered even crazier for holding herself to "even more unrealistic expectations.") Fast forward to her senior year, and she was hard-pressed to get into a run-of-the-mill state school. She was sad of what had become but still maintained this harmful mentality. It's tragic. By the way, I used to go to Mendon, and I had Mr. Englerth as my counselor. I have a soft spot for the man. He's a good guy who genuinely wants to help his kids. NONE of this is intended to bash him. Without a doubt, he was just trying to make school easier on this girl and protect her from difficult situations. Unfortunately, he failed to realize she was such a strong person that all she needed was a reminder of her own strengths. She needed to be encouraged--not told to play it safe to avoid more tough stuff in her life. I don't know what ended up happening to her. [Insert name], if you see this, as always, I hope your family is doing better. Secondly, please know that your path to success has not been closed; it has just been interrupted. (Plus, whether you are at a community college or Yale, the school is unbelievably lucky to have a mind like yours.) If you believe in yourself like you once did, you will accomplish awesome things for the world! I think you know who this is. If you ever need to talk, just search my name in Instagram, and DM me. And Mr. Englerth, thanks for being a loving man. Just please be more conscientious about the value of your advice. After all, guidance is literally in your job title. Your words have more weight than you may realize.

I agree. The kid needs professional help and pharm level meds. Might do some good to lock him up for observation for awhile.

This kid is scary crazy. Sounds very imbalanced and in need of therapy and meds. I hope Mr. Englerth got a restraining order placed on them.

Hi, thank you for sharing your thoughts. I posted the same review three times to make minor improvements. Having listened to my wonderful English teachers, I understand that revision is an important part of the writing process. Humans are never infallible. Furthermore, Taco Bell is one of the best valued, high quality fast food restaurants, and I would be honored to work there, so thank you for thinking that I could! :) But please stop being so classist that you equate someone’s capability with their salary. Examine your prejudices. As I have mentioned, humans are infallible—so neither are you. :)

Damn, this is kinda legitimately well-worded. Sounds HONEST. I wasn't on this kid's side, but now, I'm not sure what to think.

It pains me to make negative remarks because he possesses the talent a...

This is an adult. I am extremely concerned this thread could encourage destructive behavior. In particular, I am addressing the individuals who asked a kid to kill herself and hope to r@pe her. You are purely evil or have grave mental illness. If the former is true, change your ways--or prepare to face prison and an irreversibly ruined reputation. If the latter is true, please seek help from a mental healthcare professional. 988 runs a national crisis line. They can refer you to whatever resources you need and/or offer insight to make you more well.

No stankova sh*t here...just an average gc. The best of em are still stupid...whaddaya expect?! Counseling isn't even a real degree. The programs are so goddamn easy that even the people who are f*cked up enough to need intensive counseling end up as counselors. He's not even a friggin' therapist; he's a guidance counselor. That requires about the most sh*tty excuse for a degree you can imagine. The girl's deal is low-key sad, but kid, you ain't that smart if you trust a friggin' GUIDANCE COUNSELOR with your important life decisions. Maybe they can give you some stats on college admissions from your high school...that's about all they're useful for. That "talk to trusted adults" crap is just to make sure little kids tell their parents and teachers about the pedophile from the van who tried to coerce 'em wit' blowpops n' blowjobs. You're an older teenager or an adult by now. You've gotta take charge of your own ish't. Don't pay no mind to what some busted, crusted, disgusted counselor thinks. I'm barely smarter than your average motherf*cker, and I manage to get my crap together. Why can't a bright kid like you do it too? Sorry for the rant. I'm just so pissed at the stupidity on here. No, he's not the "best guidance counselor in New York," but he's not a toxic bs artist either.

Responding to the super long post: Yeah, Mr. Englerth's no stankova, but what he said and did to that girl was unacceptable. Period. He probably was just trying to help but didn't know how. Unfortunately, it's literally his role to figure out how to help in situations like her's, being that his job is literally...ya know, guidance. Guidance entails knowing how to at least encourage someone to make what are likely the best decisions. (Of course, he can't force a kid to do anything, but he can definitely influence their actions and strongly influence how they perceive themselves.) Unfortunately, he wound up judging her based on a belief that "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." I actually partially agree with the concept--that statement's true more often than not, but there's also a good portion of the time it's not the case. It's not fair to judge an INDIVIDUAL based on stereotypes--even if the stereotypes really do tend to be true IN GENERAL. That kid bravely confided in you. She trusted you! That's a huge deal because frankly, she probably didn't have many adults in her life she could trust or even look up to. Mr. Englerth, that girl believed in you more than you likely believe in yourself, but you never believed in her.
