This is such a sad thing, and I feel closely connected to it. I currently am working exclusively with one very angry and bitter boy. I think this strikes me so much because I could definitely see the boy I take care of doing the same thing as the boy in your post. JH would not help him overcome these issues. *sigh* this is sad. Do you know if anything happened with him afterwards?Lizzie Emeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399456809511196816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4386190112641735734.post-20093799068023048492010-03-25T20:47:19.579-07:002010-03-25T20:47:19.579-07:00Praying for the boy...that someone else along the ...Praying for the boy...that someone else along the way gives him a helping hand...and that he reaches for the Saviour's hand...Karissa Pattersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13105835949698519872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4386190112641735734.post-61785571038979945272010-03-25T04:47:19.924-07:002010-03-25T04:47:19.924-07:00oh, my heart hurts for him too. what he's expe...oh, my heart hurts for him too. what he's experienced thus far in life must have been like nothing most of us can even comprehend. oh how he needs the saving salve of jesus. only He can mend such hurt and brokeness. jesus, heal your son into Your arms.a new beginninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13182473221765750219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4386190112641735734.post-67196534494230738992010-03-24T20:11:39.955-07:002010-03-24T20:11:39.955-07:00this is sad. i'm adding him to my prayer jour...this is sad. i'm adding him to my prayer journal.JANET!https://www.blogger.com/profile/00224899889928999334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4386190112641735734.post-45712006176240193872010-03-24T18:00:19.805-07:002010-03-24T18:00:19.805-07:00How sad for that boy and his family.

Helping with field trips and class activities, I've noticed that he just doesn't seem to keep up with the others. Teacher yells at him, and he seems to always be the target. I've just tried to smile at him and talk with him more than the others. He's a good kid. My heart has been heavy as I've walked away. And I pray for him each night. You don't always know about their home lives.

Not just that young man, but for your son, the teacher, etc.<br /><br />Sometimes, as teachers, we are ill-equipped to deal with certain social situations that arise. I am not, by any means, excusing this young man's behavior, but I have to wonder what transpired that pushed him over the edge.<br /><br />Sometimes it doesn't take much, and if it wasn't a teacher, it would be another student.<br /><br />Unfortunately, juve hall isn't going to provide him with social skills necessary for coping with life...for dealing with anger...for dealing with hurt. <br /><br />Because, in the end...anger is always a product of being hurt.<br /><br />I'm praying for all of you tonight,<br />ValerieValeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17633704862629969672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4386190112641735734.post-42324274052881273942010-03-24T12:33:37.537-07:002010-03-24T12:33:37.537-07:00I groaned outloud when I read that he pushed his t...I groaned outloud when I read that he pushed his teacher.
