What is the worst thing a kid has said to you?

To me: Freshman who said “I don’t understand why my parents are making me see a shrink. It’s my teachers fault that I’m suicidal. She makes me feel dumb and worthless.” I was so taken aback that I didn’t respond the way I should have. I really fucked up that one. He killed himself a few months later. And I always wonder if I had just done the right thing, if he would still be alive. <br><br>From a colleague: Student to her: “Yo, I heard your pop star niece is a bimbo. What do you think about that?” My niece was a child who had a song go viral. I do not teach at the same school as her, but some kids know we are related. My niece has since changed her career and it’s for the best. But at the time it was really hard as a teacher.
