  Case: Students confiding in teachers
A student of mine has recently confided in me and shared that she feels like there is group of students who are making her feel left out. She says it's no big deal and that she doesn't want them to make fun of her for tattling on them, but I feel like it's affecting her more than she lets on. Should I tell the school counselor?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The student is clearly being affected by the group of students. In addition to passing on this information to the counselor, I would ensure that I make time for morning meeting to happen everyday to strengthen the classroom community and peer relationships. If said group of students do make fun of her, I would contact parents. The classroom is a safe space and bullying should not be tolerated under any circumstances.
