However, there can be the rebuttal that the definition of “anything” to humans and God is different. As humans, we cannot imagine things beyond our sense of logic. We cannot…

We, as the student body, will turn to each other to find help. We will also seek certain adults – professors, teachers, or administrators – for assistance. Confidentiality exerts a major role in the way we choose to share information, or seek help, and with whom. A student is demonstrating an intimacy act by trusting a teacher to help them and not publicize their need. Intimacy is not to get confused with sexual relations.
