Hi Christina, thank you for your kind words. Yes, writing the paper was almost like therapy for me, to get it out of my system! We did not have guidance counsillors in my school at the time, but I'm still not sure I would have told them. You tend to want to speak to people that you already know, and trust. This can be parents, friends, or even the speech therapist, depending on the relationship. I had no therapist at the time, so I couldn't go down that route. Mine is one of the cases where unfortunately I felt alone. I hope this doesn't happen to other kids out there. Best to you, Gina
