Bre went and was quiet; she didn’t mingle much but she became more and more comfortable in the setting. Regardless of her friend situation, Bre still felt like she was learning things and to her learning had always been fun. Although some days Bre felt more lonely than others. Every girl seemed to have at least one close friend and laughter was always ringing loud. What the young girl didn’t realize however was that as she got more used to her new church she became more willing to raise her hand and answer questions, or say, “Hi,” to a fellow classmate. The church was growing on Bre, and apparently she was growing on the church as well. Girls she had refused to talk to just months before were now her acquaintances. Bre was no longer the new girl, other new girls had moved in and taken her outsider place (but rest assured they’d soon be included as well, everyone always

However, she also said that open communication, being professional, and showing empathy were paramount as well. Next, I asked what she considers her strengths to be when working with clients. She stated, that her ability to show empathy and sympathy have been crucial in helping her clients. She also stated, that her life experiences have proven to be beneficial as well. However, she stated, that she does not self-disclose any personal information to clients. She will say, “I have been there too”, or “I know how that feels”, but she will not give personal details or experiences at all. On the other hand, she identified caring too much at times as being a weakness.

The school year approached its end. Another summer to spend alone by myself. The cycle had been repeating since I was in grade school. Sadness choked me as I returned home and shut my door. Every year, the resolution was the same: I would try to make friends next year; however, every year, I felt myself falling back down into the same trap. By the time high school began, I no longer felt the numb sensation of sadness or the flow of tears as the final day of May became the last day I talked with my “friends.” I no longer expected to make any friends, or, more accurately, I no longer expected to be able to make any friends. The sheer possibility of befriending an individual appeared to me as foreign as speaking in latin. When I walked into school, what should have been a site of chatter, opportunity, and growth appeared to me as a form of imprisonment and torture; however, unbeknownst to me, I did have friends; something of which I did not recognize until years passed by. I grown attached to certain conversations; there were times where I felt the need to initiate a conversation rather than waiting for someone else to make one. It was not until one of my friends told me,”We’re your friends aren’t we?” when I realized I was not longer

Though isolating one’s self from others from time to time can be healthy, those who experience isolation will inevitably crave intimate connections with others, which, unfortunately, is something that not all can achieve. The short story, “Miss Brill” by Katherine Mansfield, shows the effects that loneliness and isolation can bring to those who struggle with it. “Miss Brill” deals with the elderly, solitary title protagonist, who spends her Sunday afternoons the exact same way, with the exception of one Sunday afternoon to which her reality finally catches up to her. While Miss Brill finds herself surrounded with an abundance of people and lively music, she still finds it difficult to engage with those around her. Through this text, Mansfield

The relationship I am going to discuss and analyze is a romantic relationship that occurred while I was still in high school. I refuse to say that I was a “troubled” teenager, but I definitely had some self-destructive tendencies that lead to this relationship, in that I hung around what would be considered the wrong people for a sixteen-year-old girl to be associating with. The guy that I dated was the brother of one of my close friends at the time, and was older than me to a point that was scandalous in high school. I believe he was nineteen, almost twenty when I started dating him while I was sixteen. This age difference, while only three or four years, is the most significant and pronounced while one is in high school. Due to this age difference, I did not tell many people, including my parents, about said relationship until we were already close to six months into the relationship. I think this was partially because it was essentially my first serious relationship, and partially because I thought my parents would be angry about the age difference (though they are ten years apart themselves, I was homeschooled and raised to “know better” than to get involved with less than reputable characters, especially ones that were older than me).

Describes and analyzes interpersonal relationships. April was as two other schools before coming to Poe Middle School. At this point she was feeling distressed, emotional, and a sense of abandonment. She had to start all over again on meeting new friends, feeling safe at school, building relationships with teachers and getting used to a new environment. The first few weeks April attended Poe Middle School, she would constantly cry in some of her classes. I was a difficult adjustment that April had to get used to because she wanted did not want to leave her other school. After working with April for a few weeks, I was able to convinced her that it would take some time to adjust to her new environment and if she could give it a try. After a few weeks, April was able to make some friends and was not crying as often. During one of my counseling sessions with April, she was having a difficult time with dealing with peers who have social media. In April’s case, she does not own a cell phone nor have social media. Several weeks into school a group of girls were taking Snapchat pictures of her and other targeted groups of girls and posting them on social media. Whenever April would have that group of girls, they would laugh and giggle but April never knew why. This
