  • Thomas was surrounded by counselors - two at home and this one at school. Amazing results.
  • If the classmates say “he was bullied”, he was bullied. Kinda shocked the counselor didn’t have the self awareness to realize “wow I can’t believe I missed that when he certainly needed help” and instead went on TV to say “nuh uh hE hAd pERfecT aTTeNdaNcE!!!”

    People need to open their eyes this is highly plausible that he had no help mentally guidance counselors rarely do their job at all
  • A guidance counselor doesn't remember a student from 2 years ago in a small town? Show me one political nut with no computer history
  • No public school teacher/counselor/administrator ever sees anything!!! That's why bullying goes on and on and on. Shame on them!!!!
  • His classmates say he was bullied, but this counsellor didn't notice anything. What an insightful and perceptive man!
  • That guidance counselor looks like someone who wouldn't recognize a kid being bullied lol

    In the video where a classmate is tugging at his pants, he says "Stop it" 4 times . Just because he's smiling while they're doing it, doesn't mean he's okay with it.

    1. Counselors are NOT supposed to discuss their clients with the general public. Even after the death of a client 2. Counselors should know that bullying does NOT usually occur in the presence of the school guidance counselor! Common sense. This guidance counselor is acting in a way which is incompetent and unprofessional.

    The former guidance counselor had no business addressing the bullying problem of a former student he didn't even remember until looking at his notes and a picture. Shouldn't those notes have remained part of the school record, and not his? Regardless, basing his opinion about the bullying on the shooter's attendance record that he shouldn't even have had access to is absurd.
  • Thomas’s lived with two licensed counselors and had a counselor at school. Lesson is: counseling doesn’t work! 🤦‍♀️

    Dude this guidance counselor is just showing how BAD AND TERRIBLE he was at his job. "I didn't see him bullied so he wasn't bullied!" No, you don't know your students and you're self involved. How could a COUNSELOR think he knows if a child was bullied better than the kids watching it go down 😂

    My experience is a Guidance Counselor is mostly interesting in getting people graduated. In our school district each Counselor has about 400 students and the worst technology in the world keeping track of each student’s classes etc. If kids are calling someone “School shooter “ in a school of over 1000 kids, I don’t know how they would know it.

    The school will never admit bullying happens unless you have the incident on camera. This is why so many parents are homeschooling.

    He just got a two-year engineering degree two months ago from a local community college. Tell us why you can't talk to anyone there. If his life was destroyed by high school bullying (so implied in this story) how did he go on to complete a two-year technical degree?
