Answer 3: Know the different types of diagnoses in order to successfully help the teen through their problems.

Resources:
-third interview Mrs. Monica explained how psychologest should know the different types of diagnoses. What if I get someone with depression nut I see it as stress because I had no clue what the differences where. If I don't know what the differences are it can lead to them maybe even committing suicide.
- online class courses explaining all the different types of diagnoses
-why gender matters explains how male and females differ but you need to see how they are different. Girls are more communicative so you will then have to read their body language, how they act ( symptoms ) to help them. How can you help them if you have no idea what symptoms belong to which diagnoses.

Room Creativity

1) How do you plan to address the room creativity expectation?

I'm still not exactly sure what I will do, but I was thinking to probably put posters up. There's going to be some different diagnoses. And others with stories of what the child has gone through and explaining what they're symptoms are.

(2) What activity ideas do you have for answer 1 or 2?

One of my answers is: Understanding the different types of diagnoses in order to successfully help the student/ child. So when I'm done explaining some during the presentation they will be set up into groups of 4-5. Each group go to an assigned poster. They will read the story on the poster and depending on what they agree on they will put a number on the corresponding diagnoses. Who ever has the most right gets a price

What is the best way to become a successful middl school counselor?

Answer #1

A counselor is someone who gives guidance and helps you in certain fields of life. But in order to do so a counselor should fist be able to understand the reasons to why both males and females have different mind sets to know how to approach them.

Resources

1. Why Gender Matters by Leonard Sax. This book has several reasons to why male and females differ. For example females hearing is alot more sensative then males. Females vision tiggers certain colors. Explains why most girls like colorful colors rather than boys. Or how in society its well known that females are the ones who read. What happens is that in the brain these certain nerves in which appels to words rather then numbers or vise versa for males.
2. Girls Against Girls: Why Girls are so mean to eachother. This maily focuses on the females perspective. Explains how hormones, brain development, biological, society has a big part of why girls act the way they do.
3. Society vs the People. This articale explains how society has a big roll in how people see things. Teens are begining to dress as if they were around 18 when they are only 13. Boys are letting TV mold them. Most believe its fine to have one night stands and girls are okay with it.

I believe this is a great answer because you need background on how you should be able to approach  these teens. You might think its shocking how they dress but for them its something completely normal. A counselor should be able to fit in and in a way be a friend to the teen.
