Strange Days

I'm not sure what I can say here and what I can't, but I'll say that the past 4 days have been kind of intense. I was concerned about a student and brought it to the attention of a counselor. I was told by a few people that I was wrong and to watch out for the repercussions. Then came feelings of confusion and conflicted-ness (yeah, I know it's not a word) because I thought I was helping, but all I heard was that I did wrong. I couldn't tell if these people were just jaded, or if I really was foolish for trying to save the world, one fucked up kid at a time. I think in the end I was right. Somehow, I think I helped. My student doesn't hate me and there were no upset parents. But let me tell you, it was scary, it was upsetting, and very confusing. I'm still wondering a little bit if I really can save the world, or if I'm being foolish. I'm working on my feelings on that one, but I guess that's what this blog is all about.
