School counsellors are the people you can turn to when you need help. They know how to listen and can help kids with life's challenges. Counsellors have special training in how to help kids solve problems, make decisions, and stand up for themselves.
That doesn't mean your counsellor will wave a magic wand and the problem will go away. But it does mean he or she will help you cope with it. Coping is an important word to know. Sometimes, kids and grown-ups have difficult problems. Coping means that someone is trying to handle these problems and make things better.
Your school counsellor is available for you and wants to make your school experience the best it can be. The counsellor‘s job is to take your problem seriously and help you find a solution. The counsellor also wants to help you learn as much as you can in class, be a contributing member of the school community ()and be a positive influence on your environment.
If someone was bullying you, for instance (例如) the counsellor would talk to you about it and could give you some ideas and strategies on how to deal with the bully.

The counsellor may also talk to the bully and maybe even to kids who saw what happened. The counsellor might talk with your teacher and your parents about the problem as well. Though this may feel a little uncomfortable, facing the problem and trying to correct it is better than living with a bad situation. Having a counsellor's help means you don't have to face difficult school problems alone.
Think: In your opinion, what makes a helpful school counsellor
