How this problem is going to, expand, into the workforces, if these students don’t get the help they are in need of, once they’re adults, chances are, they won’t be willing to get into treatment programs that will actually, help them become better adapted into the society, and we will have, loose time bombs, everywhere, that’s going to go, B-O-O-M, regularly…off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
Have started the plans the “Three Leveled Counseling” for many years, Taiwan is ahead in Asia in Asian countries, and yet, there are still the cases of the at-risk students in Hsinbei neck slashing case, the Keelung three-on-one beating occurring. It’d made the society question the efficacy of these, counseling means.
Th current three-level counseling system, the homeroom instructors who are at the frontlines of this, had enormous pressures on them. Although, with their observations, they can note many “signals”, but, currently, the system zooms in on the middle and high school levels. Certainly, this is the teenage rebellion age, the students are easily influenced by their peers, and easily fallen to temptation from the outside, once they’d gone astray, it may be next to impossible to set them back on the right tracks, again; and yet, with the age getting older, the compounding factors of school, work, economics, peers, social interactions, etc., etc., etc., the pressures grows, with the school instructors, counselors, faced with, an even harder to tackle problems in counseling.
I’d worked as a primary instructor for the technical university for close to three decades, I continued carrying the mindset of respect, trust, and empathy toward my students, listening to their problems, to help them find a way to resolve, and I’d, also felt cheated, for being too involved, and after the students’ lies were busted, the losses of money is small, what’s more difficult to deal with, was the oppositions between the students and instructors, and the parents’ misunderstandings.
And, there were the two female students who started developing the homosexual attraction to each other that their parents are against, one of them was the weaker, the other more possessive same sex partner always gets jealous, if the student is friends with those of the same sex, or gotten acquainted with members of the opposite sex, the misunderstandings, the upsets caused the girl to attempt suicide by leaping off of the building at school, but was caught by her roommate, her life didn’t get, lost.
There is also a female student from parents who were divorced, and remarried separately, who’d had to manage everything for school, student loans, boarding, meal plans, by part-timing herself, and had to deal with her mother who’d just had a child, who’d constantly asked her for money. And she was forced to work as a waitress at a night club, and, gotten off work in the midnight hours, and, in a few short hours, she’d had to get back up for her schools, and naturally, she’d, missed on hundred of, lecture sessions.
All of these cases, are the ones that came to disclose their situations, as I’d found that something was not quite right with them on their own, while, some don’t even, trust the counselors. And, if I’d wanted to refer them to a second, or a third level counseling service referral, I’d had to, get consent from them. The university students are already, adults, so things we can’t help them on, and, we can’t, do, anything, for, them.
There were 215,000 younger generations who were on anti-depressants in 2020, “psychological illnesses” are getting younger and younger at onset, and, it’s usually, hard to tell from looking. These individuals, no matter if they’re in school, or in the workforce, they all needed assistance and the shows of care and concerns. Is the current system of counseling, up to standard for the needs of these, persons?
If you aren’t aware enough, that you are mentally ill, then, chances are, you can’t get the assistance you need, and, most people, due to the general taboos of the realms of being labeled as “mentally ill”, “on anti-psychotic medication”, that’s why, the adult population are less likely to seek out the assistance they needed, and, this will cause the workforce to become, unstable, because, you don’t know if you’re working with someone who’s, mentally troubled, who must might, take a gun to work, and start, shooting everybody who was there at the office one day…
