I don't even remember my high school guidance counselor. I don't even remember if it was a man or a woman.

When I was in High School I didn't like my Guidance Couselor. In fact I had told another Guidance Counselor,shortly before I had graduated that I wished that he had been my Guidance Counselor instead!

I rememeber that my guidance counselor was a good for nothing. He gave the worst advice, he would discourage the people with potential and motivation. Excuse me for my language but f**** ridiculous how people like this are permited to give advice to the kids of today. After wasting a year of my life I consulted an outside real guidance counselour that truly listened and helped me.

I liked the one assigned to me, he left me the hell alone. I wasn't going to college so he didn't have to bother with me.

Yes i do like my guidance counsellor, because she always listened to me, and she always tried to help me the best way that she can. She sometimes pissed me off when she would call my parents when i just wanted to keep things between me and her (my parents are scarey to me, and they are not understandable). But i can understand, that, that was her job and i respect that. I just know that when ever it comes to situations that may lead her to call my mom, i will not tell her anything.Anyways, she huged me, when she thought that i needed to be hugged, and she encouraged me all the way. She also helped me to build my self-esteem. I dont think my mom loves me, and so my guidance counsellor was like my second mom, a much better mom. And when i come out of school in 09 i will live a happy life, because she was like the mother who had taught me well, and she also inspired me to do more than i ever could in life.I love myself now because of her. I get good grades in school now, because i feel very confident, and my goal now is to become very successful in life and helping other people in the same way that she helped me!!!!!!

never had one:(

I think I saw mine twice. I was so busy taking every honors and AP class that I could fit into my schedule (Yes, I was a Hermione Granger-esque grind in high school...;-D...) that he pretty much left me alone.

No. When I was a sophomore, I failed a biology class required to graduate. It was because I could not grasp that teacher's style of teaching, and started bombing out in second half of year. This was the last required science class for graduation. We had to schedule our junior classes around the middle of sophomore year. I selected an elective chemestry class, because I thought I was going to squeak by and pass biology. At the end of the year, when I got my final report card in the mail stating I'd failed biology, I contacted my counselor to drop the elective chemistry class to repeat the require biology. They said they couldn't do it until the start of the new school year. Then at the beginning of junior year when I tried to get it changed they wouldn't. Said I had to begin the class, and have verification from the teacher that I was struggling before they could authorize a switch. The instructor refused. After the first two weeks, I was lost. Couldn't get it. But they wouldn't change it. So I retaliated by sleeping through the class everyday for the entire rest of the year.( Actually, quite stupidly, I lost interest in school altogether because of it and arbitrarily failed three of six classes that year.) Figured if they didn't care enough to help me, I didn't care about school at all anymore. So I ended up getting a call in summer between juniour and senior year saying I wouldn't be able to graduate with my class, I'd be a half credit short. I had to drop the one elective I wanted, and take a vocational course that offered an additional half credit project. It sucked. But, I did pull my head from my butt and realize that though the counselor may have screwed me over, sacrificing my eduacation to get back at him would only hurt me, not him. So I busted @ss my senior year and graduated without a problem. Anyway, to answer the question, no I didn't like him because a truly dedicated counselor would have worked with me to get everything straitened out when the problem first came up. Why would you force a student to stick with an elective class that was truly over her head, when she struggled and failed a lower level required class? Grrr... been 15 years and still irks me.

i hate my guidance counselor she does absolutely nothing. In freshman year i asked her to change one of my classes, she told me 2 write it down on this piece of paper and such. Then she said that she cant cus of bad timing and how it's already half way through the month. While my friend when 2 her and she got her classes switched and she went 2 her a week after my appointment. i think that she was racist, because im asian and my friend is black and she's white so she doesnt want any trouble from her. Then again in sophomore year i asked her 2 change my class one of them and she's been switching my classes around she does this three times. I get an appointment 2 c her because im failing that class and then a few days later she sends me a paper with another date of an appointment, when i go on that day she told me that i have to make another 1 cus i missed my day and i even pointed it out 2 her that that's wat she rote and she said that's only if u didnt have 1 already. so i made another appointment and she said that there was nothing that she can do cus it's already 2 late and i'll have to go 2 the language department, they basically told me that i had 2 go 2 her and the other thing that she said to me was " u had a similar problem lyk this last year" wat those that have 2 do with anything it's not lyk she solved it or anything and this year she gave me the same teacher that i complained about last year the one that failed me. so useless
