Yes omg, I hated my high school counselor. He would speak to me like I’m a child and also hinted to my mom that he didn’t think I was very smart until I took an “IQ test” with him. 😭
dude my counselor in middle school brought me in for sh and forced me to show her my cuts, then proceeded to tell me my parents are going to put me in a mental hospital. i don’t miss you miss dominguez
@@jaybirdishhhhhhdawg let me tell you. They are legally required to tell your parents that info bc it endangers your life BUT!!! I don’t think they’re allowed to force you to show them your cuts, that’s super weird and I’m sorry that happened
Idk what the heck my high school counselor did for his job he acted like he had absolutely zero interest in helping me get into certain academic programs and always acted bored and annoyed. My mom literally had to go to the school and demand the paperwork so I could apply. He was way too lazy to help me otherwise.
I'm now a case manager for social services and wonder if people's bad experiences were due to the counselors burn out, lack of experience or being overworked. Im feeling absolutely burned out from work and I know Ive been behind and stressed when working with clients. Trying to regain my senses :/
@@catpaws2452 I’ve heard so many stories about social workers being under appreciated. I know it’s not much coming from a stranger on the internet but I hope you can overcome your burnout and thank you for all the work you do
My school counselors never did shit for me lmao especially in middle school. Every time I had to see her she acted like I was the biggest interruption to everything, even when it was scheduled
my counslors would always say "oh if you need help come to the guidence room!" i have seen them in that room mabey tops 5 times in a damn year and each time they would say "oh sorry were busy come here tomorrow". trying to do anything needing thier help was just about as easy as getting a brick to fly you to mars
My high school didn’t have a guidance counsellor. Whatever teacher liked you the most is the one that would come and deal with you or help you when you needed it.
On the contrary, I asked my counselors to change my name on my ID and one of my classes, and despite being on summer break (it was mid-june) they responded the morning after
In my school, students were closer with the security guards and custodians then the school counselors. Like we would go to them instead and they actually cared about our problems.
the fact that my school was eagles & was just like this EXCEPT that one guidance counselor who was the only reason i graduated. gave me her cell number & all. really was the best woman ever
I remember my parents told us they were getting divorced and then I showed up at high school the next day crying. I sat in the guidance office waiting room for like 20 mins as the staff and students walking by just watched me cry. The counselor even walked by and ignored me. All I needed was a private room to cry 🤦🏼♀️☠️
THANK YOU. i fucking hated my counsellors. i was a “special case” kid so i was forced with them and they were always so patronizing and spoke to you like a toddler. the “support” they gave you was when you’d ask them a class related question, they’d get stuck on it themselves, then ask the teacher for help… 🤦
My guidance counselor told me to my face that should would prioritize my needs because I had a high class ranking. I watched her close a student’s file she was working on and move my paperwork to the top of her pile withy own eyes 😭
My school counselor took me out of the class to do posters and said in turn she’d check out my social work hours😅 and she did that mostly during his husband’s history classes.
My counselor hated me for absolutely no reason and made it almost impossible for me to graduate because he'd make changes in my schedule or school year plan without telling me and not tell me when certain senior events are ((graded events)) and I end up missing them and then he says "you're behind already so it shouldn't change your grades much"
I honestly preferred chatting about my shot with the biology teacher than the guidance Councillor. Because the biology teacher 1) knew shot and 2) had an interesting collection of weird photos and models and stuff from biology lessons past.
i dont think we have a equivalent to a school counselor in my country but i lowkey get it. i deadass had to run around for a week to get ONE of my subjects sorted out because after 2 months of constantly emailing the person responsible nothing had happened💀
I had a panic attack once in the middle of class in high school and my teacher brought be to the counselor who proceeded to ask me about my college plans…
I remember in elementary school I was very depressed because the dog that I literally grew up with died from inoperable cancer. So I went to the counselor to talk about it. She gave me a kids book that explained grief and taught me healthy coping mechanisms to help process the grief. It was great. And then we got a new counselor. I went to her office because it was like a week after the last meeting. I told her what had been going on and what the last counselor did for me. This woman looked me dead in the eye and said "Well maybe you shouldn't have gotten a dog if its death upset you that much."
I actually love my school counselor, shes helped me so much and she really cares. None of my other school counselors have ever been helpful at all, but the one at my school has showed me so many resources and helped me pull myself out of some of my lowest points in my life. I hope there will be many more counselors like her in the future
My councelor gave me a schedule so humanly impossible to do and acted like it was the only possible way for me to graduate, and I straight up started sobbing a while after the meeting ended wondering how I’d possibly do that 😭 So that was a great first start. I’m now perfectly on-track to graduate and transfer without any issues at least
The head shake "no" while saying "we've missed you all summer" is SO SUBTLE and so clever (For anyone that doesn't know, it's someone shaking their head no with a positive statement usually indicates they're lying ((especially in fiction or a comedy bit like this)) so the guidance counselor is saying they didn't miss you over the summer)
The only good experience I had with the school councler was when I found a cockroach and they showed it to the janitors but I asked for it back so in the middle of class I got called to the councellers office so they could return my cockroach.
My high school got in a lot of trouble with the district because we had the highest population and required a parent to come down in order to do ANY scheduling changes including upperclassmen or students that were already 18, but our guidance office closed at 2:00 PM so they basically fucked everyones schedule every year and then made parents take a day off work to fix their mistakes. 🙄
I remember 4th grade, I started having a mental breakdown, constantly thinking I was a monster (because when I was several grades younger, my autism overload would have me chucking full size heavy furniture at teachers. Not sure if the first one deserved it, but second one intentionally prevented me from calming down, so f^ck her) so I’d run away and around the school when I was suffering from overload. One day, the guidance counselor told me if I suffered from overload again, I should aim myself towards her room, that way they could know I was safe, and she’d let me stay until I calmed down. The next time I overloaded, I tried this, aimed towards her room. The moment I entered, she stormed over, grabbed me, and dragged me back, kicking and screaming and begging not to be forced to return. Both she and my teacher felt extremely smug from doing this. Needless to say, I overloaded again less than 10 minutes later, and I did *not* go near her room, ever again. Glad she felt so great destroying my trust in her for one single easy time ‘wrangling the retard’. (I overloaded and ran around 100 times through that single school year. Only once was a teacher ever willing to be calm and talk me down from it, but he wasn’t my teacher, and I’d never be allowed to be in his class.) (oh, and they’d never phrase it as overload. Even though I had autism in my diagnoses, they absolutely refused to extend me any help in understanding my condition or what was happening. I thought I was an absolute failure of a human being. I still do. I’m only now finding tricks, tips, and tools to help my condition from people online who share their stories and what was common for them and what helps. Mind you, not everything works, but what helps massively helps my condition and is insanely simple, I don’t know why school systems thought the easiest way was to hurt, abuse, and deny me any help instead of these ways)
My high school guidance teacher (Scotland, but same thing) actively hated almost all his students, and then would act shocked that none of us asked for help or spoke to him about anything. One day he pulled me aside, I was going through rough child abuse, and tried shaming me for having a poor attendance record when social workers had literally told him my mother demanded I stay home to care for her and my brother, and if I didn’t it would be met with violence. So he pulled me aside and tried to shame me, and I cut him off and just said “See this is why everyone hates you, you know some of us are going through real problems and you’re trying to shame us, you tried shaming the disabled girl for having to leave classes 10 minutes early just so she can get to her next class as she’s wheelchair bound, you tried shaming the deaf girl because she’s mute and tried bullying her into talking when her vocal chords didn’t develop properly, you tried shaming me for having bruising when you know I live in a violent home, and you tried shaming the IT teacher for actually caring about his students. That’s why nobody likes you, we actually all hate you because it’s obvious you hate every single student you come across, are a bully, and you make fun of disabled kids like wtf man” Apparently this made me “emotional”, “unreasonable”, and of course “rude”, so I made an official complaint and the school had enough of the dude and put him on early retirement, his whole career as a guidance teacher, where he’s meant to help and guide students, was a bully campaign by one sad man, and the fact he even had the job for that long is disgraceful.
I was in the top 10% of my class, only needed 2 credits to graduate but still decide to take the full year, and to fulfill one of them I tried signing up for a class th I'd been trying to get into every year since sophomore year. According to the counselor, there wasn't enough room and they wanted to give it to the older students first. Guess who originally got a schedule that wasn't going to let her graduate because that same counselor didn't think it was fair to move a sophomore out of the class! 🙃
My school counselor my fired because it came out that she was sharing private information from meetings with students with others... also she slept with one of the football players!!!
I will admit that I got helped by a school counselor. Once. Just once. But I was so far gone that anyone would have helped. Besides that, they're useless
I would talk about the troubles I was having at home, like being bullied by my older cousin and my school counselor was like “well there’s nothing you can do about it, so you shouldn’t worry about it” Like.. And she said the same thing about my sensory issues. I’ve had wonderful school counselors and very bad ones, but not so great for me is my last two and a half years of highschool were with the one I was talking about 😐
Cried to my councilor once because of how severe bullying was getting and she told me to shut up, and introduce myself when I stop 'whining' Nothing was done lmao I had to confront the dude myself and settle it in a less-that-school-rule-abiding way
My school counselors all suck, hate their jobs and the students don’t have office hours so you have go to them every time you have a free period in hopes that they’ll coincidentally be there and one of them tried to convince me that I wasn’t dyslexic and then they get mad when I won’t share the most private details about my life with them so that they can “know what they’re dealing with“ I know this is a joke but I wish I had counselors like this
I wasn't even aware that my high school even HAD a counselor, or any sort, until they forced every senior to go, during the last semester, to talk about, "Where are you going to apply to college." "I've had my college chosen for about a decade, now, so I'll just go there." "Are you sure? You have fantastic grades and extra-curricular activities, and could probably go Ivy League." "Don't care. I'm going to the same college as my brother." "Okie dokie." So, that was my entire interaction with the guidance counselor. As far as any other sort of counseling, I don't think we actually had it.
Yes omg, I hated my high school counselor. He would speak to me like I’m a child and also hinted to my mom that he didn’t think I was very smart until I took an “IQ test” with him. 😭
Wow what a jerk.

My school IT guy was more knowledgeable about shit the counselors should've known than the counselors were
Fr the IT guy always knew what was up and they were usually very quite and soft spoken
my art teacher was way better than the counselor
Not the 'some of you' 😭😭
bro, that "some of you" hit me too hard lol
this is even funnier bc my school is eagles, but our counselor is nice
MY SCHOOL WAS ALSO EAGLES
@@eggnogalcoholic AYEEE
omg me too
MY SCHOOL IS EAGLES
SAME
Idk what the heck my high school counselor did for his job he acted like he had absolutely zero interest in helping me get into certain academic programs and always acted bored and annoyed. My mom literally had to go to the school and demand the paperwork so I could apply. He was way too lazy to help me otherwise.
mine was the same. i ended up forwarding our emails to the principal and suddenly the counselor found it in his heart to start helping me
All Middle Schools and Highschools are either eagles or wildcats
We were mustangs, which I think is probably just as common
Mine was the sun…
Mine is a cobra
I was a lion in middle school and a panther in high school 💀
Middle school were gladiators and High school was nobles lmfao
My counselor brought up my failing grades every time I vented about how I was failing
STOPPP MY SCHOOL COUNSELLOR WOULD SCREAM AT YOU IF YOU INTERRUPTED HER
She's supposed to council you and yet, she's the one screaming for no reason
The epitome of overworked and under-supported 😭
I'm now a case manager for social services and wonder if people's bad experiences were due to the counselors burn out, lack of experience or being overworked. Im feeling absolutely burned out from work and I know Ive been behind and stressed when working with clients. Trying to regain my senses :/

My high school didn’t have a guidance counsellor. Whatever teacher liked you the most is the one that would come and deal with you or help you when you needed it.
The counselors are like: Feel free to talk about your schedule and we can change it! But don't actually try to change it because we won't help you.
I’m so glad my counselor was a literal angel because if I had to deal with this shit on top of the rest of high school 😭
I can’t even began to speak about my Counselor
I missed the SATs because of my counselor.
I couldn’t get my teachers to let me out during class to see her and she’d be gone during the breaks.
My Mom is a guidance counselor and she couldn’t be farther away from this lady! Ignorance is bliss!!
On the contrary, I asked my counselors to change my name on my ID and one of my classes, and despite being on summer break (it was mid-june) they responded the morning after
No bc our counselor was so good, she was so nice, but she quit bc she was overworked bc of all the problems our school has (staff wise)
I had panic attacks in school a lot and my school councillor told me to “suck it up and get on with class you’re fine”!
mine came into the nurses office when i had mt first panic attack in high school and kept giving me water helping me calm down
Man ik this is about high school guidance councilors. But "6 am to 6:25 am Monday through Tuesday" is definitely those college advisors too.
In my school, students were closer with the security guards and custodians then the school counselors. Like we would go to them instead and they actually cared about our problems.
My school had like four counselors yet are still only available to work on schedules before school
the fact that my school was eagles & was just like this EXCEPT that one guidance counselor who was the only reason i graduated. gave me her cell number & all. really was the best woman ever
She was just a little too close for comfort in that last clip. Perfect school councilor vibes tbh
I found the most stale candy to put in my jar 😅
"welcome back EAGLES" LIKE HELLO?! THATS MY ELEMENTARY SYMBOL
I hate my school counselor💀
I remember my parents told us they were getting divorced and then I showed up at high school the next day crying. I sat in the guidance office waiting room for like 20 mins as the staff and students walking by just watched me cry. The counselor even walked by and ignored me. All I needed was a private room to cry 🤦🏼♀️☠️
Not my school mascot being eagles with a counselor like this
I'm so glad I had an awesome school counselor
The sad thing is that we have an eagle as our mascot and this is how it is😭
Seriously the only time I ever saw a counselor was when I had a mental breakdown in school AND IT WASNT EVEN MY COUNSELOR
I had the best guidance counselor ever, she was so nice and really cared about us
When your school mascot was an eagle 😶
THANK YOU. i fucking hated my counsellors. i was a “special case” kid so i was forced with them and they were always so patronizing and spoke to you like a toddler.

My school hated when kids wanted to change our schedule and they would even get kinda rude and yell-ish at us when we came in to ask
its the fact that my school mascot is an eagle
My counselor hated me for absolutely no reason and made it almost impossible for me to graduate because he'd make changes in my schedule or school year plan without telling me and not tell me when certain senior events are ((graded events)) and I end up missing them and then he says "you're behind already so it shouldn't change your grades much"
I honestly preferred chatting about my shot with the biology teacher than the guidance Councillor. Because the biology teacher 1) knew shot and 2) had an interesting collection of weird photos and models and stuff from biology lessons past.
Bro this felt targeted my school thing is the eagles
I thought she was going to say.
"We've missed you ALL summer, and we're SO glad you're finally HERE!! WOOOOO!!"
The cardigan constantly over wrapped!!😭😭😭😭
it was the school nurse that hated me for no reason and it this skit still applies somehow 😂
i dont think we have a equivalent to a school counselor in my country but i lowkey get it. i deadass had to run around for a week to get ONE of my subjects sorted out because after 2 months of constantly emailing the person responsible nothing had happened💀

It’s the shoes for me
my counselor denied my class change for 0 reason
6-6:25am is so real it’s like wtf you going? I thought you worked here!
My old high-school just changed to the eagles and I so badly want to send this to my sister that goes there now 😂
I went to Midlakes High School in Phelps, NY...
We were the Screaming Eagles 🦅😂
I literally never knew my school had councilors
honestly a certified period counselor sounds nice. if only i actually believe that meant anything
I actually love my school counselor, shes helped me so much and she really cares. None of my other school counselors have ever been helpful at all, but the one at my school has showed me so many resources and helped me pull myself out of some of my lowest points in my life. I hope there will be many more counselors like her in the future
Every day I'm so grateful I graduated
Yeah guidance councelors are USELESS!!
No, omg, stawp, my old middle school Mascot was litrally eagles- I'm dead
The plot twist is she’s also a college counselor 😔
i had 3 amazing guidance counselors! this video reminds me of that 1 awful counselor that nobody liked lol
At least mine only sucks because she’s overworked (underfunded urban public schools yayyyyy!!!) and doesn’t have the time to keep track of everything
The first part was so true
Not the mascot being our mascot 😭
noooo my high school mascot was literally the eagles 😭
My councelor gave me a schedule so humanly impossible to do and acted like it was the only possible way for me to graduate, and I straight up started sobbing a while after the meeting ended wondering how I’d possibly do that 😭
So that was a great first start. I’m now perfectly on-track to graduate and transfer without any issues at least
Why does this hit different because my school mascot is actually the eagles
NOT ME BEING AN EAGLE
is my school the only one with 5 guidance councillors? 💀
When I saw the welcome back eagles I did a double take because that’s my schools mascot
I DONT HAVE MY SCHOOL COUNSELOR THIS YEAR AND IM SO SAD SHE WAS THE ONLY GOOD COUNSELOR
What scared me the most was it said welcome back eagles and that’s my school’s mascot. This is too real omg.
today as a office staff kid going into 8th grade; i was the one saying:"you need you scedual changed?"
The head shake "no" while saying "we've missed you all summer" is SO SUBTLE and so clever
(For anyone that doesn't know, it's someone shaking their head no with a positive statement usually indicates they're lying ((especially in fiction or a comedy bit like this)) so the guidance counselor is saying they didn't miss you over the summer)
