A person’s school years are often very influential on the rest of his life. It is during these
years that a child will grow into adolescence, then into his teenage years. During this time, a
person will often further develop his personality, make and break friendships, and decide what
he wants to do for the rest of his life.

Thus, any untoward incidence in schoolchildren’s lives should be processed immediately,

it should undergo immediate reinforcement so that crisis will not be worsened. School children
need compassion and empathy to understand problems and work with people in stressful
situations. Counselors should always be looking for ways to help, and know how to intervene in
a crisis with sensitivity.
