ACTIVITY 2:
1. BULLYING
 School counselors can inform their fellow educators,
students, and parents about the nature of bullying, it’s
prevalence and effect on the school environment, and
inform potential strategies to both prevent and intervene
when bullying occurs. These strategies can include
establishing respectful standards of conduct for classroom
interaction, deliberately outreaching students who are
rejected by their peers, and modeling inclusive classroom
environments.
2. SUICIDE
 School counselors are often the first accessible
professionals for students who are coping with suicidal
thoughts or tendencies. As the gatekeepers for mental
health in today’s high schools and colleges, counselors are
some of the most equipped to combat this troubling trend.
In addition to recognizing the risk factors and warning
signs associated with teen suicide, counselors are also
responsible for maintaining a school environment that
adequately meets the needs of students who may be
suffering from mental health issues.
3. DEPRESSION
 During counseling, the therapist will use “talk therapy” to
help you understand and work through the issues that are
impacting your life in negative ways. Their role is to listen,
provide feedback, and work with you to develop strategies
to cope. They will also evaluate your progress and adjust
the sessions accordingly. You may be asked to do
homework that extends the learning from the counseling
sessions. Often, this is in the form of tracking moods and
feelings.

Additional Activities:
Social Sciences is much interesting than Applied Social
Science, because Social Sciences helps us to understand the
human interaction that occurred in the past, present and that
likely to occur in future. Studying history helps us to figure out
our role in society. We learn how institutions, traditions and
ideals change as society modernizes and how cause and effect,
influence relationships between individuals, groups and
nations. The study of history gives me the chance to develop
my research skills and the ability to think critically. Also
education of geography explains the world in which we live. It
encourage me to open my mind to many places where human
lives on this planet. As a student I learn about the differences
places, I’m become aware of the many cultural differences of
the world’s populations. And that’s why I consider Social
Sciences interesting because it gives me a lot of knowledge
about our society.

What message does the quotation try to convey?

One of the biggest misconceptions out there is that if you ask
for help, you’re weak, which is not true. Because all of us may
suffer depression and anxiety, mental health problems come
in many forms, and it can be embarrassing to admit we have
them. Because they’re not visible, it’s easy to hide them and
pretend we’re fine. We tell others we’re good and they don’t
need to worry about us, even though that’s not true.
Somehow it’s get into our minds that asking for help means
we failed, but the truth is, asking for help shows that we’re
progressing. It shows that we’re trying to change our life for
the better. And I think the quotation try to convey us that
sometimes we need to ask for help for us to survive from our
problems, because not every time we can do it alone.

ACTIVITY 2:
In five sentences, discuss the difference between the roles
and functions of counselors.
 The primary role of a counselor is to assist clients in reaching
their optimal level of psychosocial functioning through
resolving negative patterns, prevention, rehabilitation, and
improving quality of life. Counselors are responsible for
working with students who need help managing their
behavior, keeping up academically, or planning for the future.
What I have learned:
1. School Counseling
 School counselors help students at all levels to understand and
cope with social, behavioral, and personal problems. School or
education counselors emphasize preventive and developmental
counseling to enhance students’ personal, social, and academic
growth and to provide students with the life skills needed to deal
with problems before they worsen.
2.
Marriage and Family Counseling
 Distressed couples seek the help of a marriage counselor when
they don’t want to divorce but aren’t sure how to compromise on
various issues. Some pastors, churches and religious groups also
require that couples consult a marriage counselor for a specified
period of time before they can be married in that particular
religious tradition.
3.Career Counseling
 Through career counseling and career coaching, counselors
provide opportunities and skills seminar for college students to be
more adept, flexible and ready to face the world of profession.
Through seminars and training soft skills in answering the
interviews, they mark students with the ability to cope and be
flexible on the industrial demands.
What I Can Do:
What if you are a counselor and you have fallen in love with
your client and your client has also fallen in love with you.
Since, it is unethical to pursue the relationship, you will have
to quit your job. Your job is the bread and butter of your
family. What will you do?
 I’d rather pursue my job because it’s my passion at the very
first place. Yes, I falling in love with my client and maybe he’s
the right person for me but it’s a wrong timing and that really
means that we are not destined for each other.
