Until the day I told her I cut, that's when she reolized I needed help. So she called my mom and appointment was set with the school and my mom was told everything.
- What happened on your first appointment?
I came in very nervous. They started me off with a huge questionare. Lots of questions and I had to answer each one truthfuly. Then they asked me about my family issues and my friends. Then they asked me what I think is wrong and then they told me what they thought was wrong.

They are twice a week on a good week. On a bad week it would probably be four or five

They lasted an hour to an hour and a half again deprending on the week

Relax and be yourself. Answer everything they tell you truthfuly because if you don't, you are not cheating them, you are cheating yourself
