He comes to her classroom between each class change, sits with her at football games, gives her cards, and has tried to add her on Facebook. Ms. Georgia knows that this student comes from a very unstable home where he does not receive much attention. However, Ms. Georgia also knows that she must maintain a strictly professional relationship with this student, and now allow him to believe that she is his "friend." How does Ms. Georgia let this student know that he can not be this "clingy" without hurting this students feelings or making him feel rejected? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) The first step is to inform the counselor, and possibly an administrator, about the situation. Helping the student make connections with other students may be helpful as well, because then the student will have another type of support system.
