Red Flags In High School

Decent Essays
This would not raise any red flags. The child may be using their journal as a means to address their feelings. Just as in question 3, educators must not jump to conclusion. The brains of our students and they are experiencing some emotions and situations for the first time and may have difficulties understanding them. As a veteran who had a child in school while I was deployed, the child may need additional support to help with the feeling of separation and feelings of helplessness as their parent is gone. These feeling may exacerbate the social isolation and interaction, but on a whole may not be an ideation of suicide.

    Lastly, the government states that research shows combat veterans do not have a higher suicide rate, but in fact, “the results appeared to show something paradoxical: Those deployed to war were actually less likely to commit suicide. But critics of the studies say most people deployed in war zones do not face enemy fire. The risk for true combat veterans is hidden in the larger results, and has never been properly examined, they assert” (Philipps, 2015). With this in mind, it is hard to imagine a country who sends men into combat does not even know if it increases their propensity to commit…

    War is an armed conflict influenced by opposing states, parties, or nations. And as a result of these events, many people are involved directly in the war and many perish during the struggle to end the war. Though the loss of life is always a terrible result, it is not the only one as a consequence of war. There are those who survived these wars but came back, sometimes sent back, home with not physical injuries but with emotional and mental ones. These psychological injuries were called many things in the past but as time passed, it was called Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD.…

Many veterans that return from the front lines of combat experience highly graphic and guilt laden thoughts about acts committed or witnessed during their time at war, leading to a large spike in feelings of depression and, subsequently, suicidal thoughts (Hudenko, 13). Many veterans do not know where else to turn when they are plagued with such thoughts, and when they turn to drugs and alcohol instead, it can lead to people being unsympathetic or even disbelieving when a veteran tries to relay their symptoms to someone. A 23 year old Marine, Jeffrey Lucey, committed suicide…

    I decided to perform my service hours at the Centre for Girls, where I work with children between the ages of 5-10. During my service hours it is customary for the children to spend the first hour and a half doing their homework and receiving help from the volunteers. Most children usually walk in and start their homework without any direction, while others complete it before they even arrive at the Centre. But, I noticed every time Isabella came to the homework room, she always claimed to never have any homework and instead of respecting the rules of the Centre and the respecting the girl’s right to complete their assignment in peace, she proceeds to disturb the class. This has been a reoccurring behavior with Isabella and because of her conduct the instructors are frequently frustrated with her, and the students constantly ostracize her from the peer group.…
