How to talk to my teacher about my problems?. I am so scared and nervous I have never spoken to anyone before

It takes courage to open up to anyone, so your teacher will understand why you would be nervous. Tell him or her after class one day that you'd like to talk to them about something that's been on your mind. If they are available to talk, you can start off by telling them the general situation and how you feel about it. Your teacher was once your age before and will understand the worries and concerns you have,

If you would like to speak to your teacher about something, maybe it would be a good idea to ask them in advance to meet with them personally. It might not be a good idea to meet with them during office hours, simply because this time can be open to other students and it seems to me that you would like to make a private discussion. So, if you feel comfortable, you might send them an email or ask them in person if they have any free time during the week to meet with you personally. When having a conversation, it might be useful to disclose up front how you are feeling - that you are nervous and scared. If you like, you also might share that this is something you have not brought up before. It might help them understand the place you are coming from. Just take your time and if its helpful to you, take deep breaths. If you're not sure how to say what you need to say, maybe writing them down can generate some ideas on how to start the conversation. This might include events, thoughts, emotions, etc. I wish you luck!

I think it's great that you are considering talking to your teacher. I hope this is somebody you trust most out of everyone else. It's normal to feel scared and nervous, but taking little steps may help ease that feeling. For example, start making casual/light conversation with your teacher first. The more you speak to them, the more comfortable you'll feel around them. Talk to them in the privacy of a one-to-one setting. If it helps, think of the things you want to say first. Maybe even write it down.

You could approach them at break or lunchtime and ask if it is okay to have a quick chat! Explain that you're nervous about it and how you want some help. They'll understand as they are there to help you. Good luck!

I'm so glad you want to reach out and ask for help from a teacher! I've done it before and it was nerve-wracking, so I totally understand where you're coming from. Make sure it's a teacher you trust, then from there, ask them before school, before or after class, during lunch break or after school if they're free for a chat about the concern you have, whether it be a personal or academic one. Remember that teachers are people too, and they love to help students, so more often than not, they will be willing to listen and try to help as best as they can. Good luck- I hope it goes well! xx

First of all, you have to be sure that you're ready and willing to hear what the teacher has to say. You can leave them a note on their desk asking if you can talk to them or you can leave them a note about the problem you want to talk to them about if you're scared to say it in person. Or if you want to tell them in person, you might go to them before school starts, during breaks or after school to talk. Start by thanking them for giving you their time and then tell them about what you wanted to say. I hope this helped you :)

You seem to have a lot on your plate right now... Are all these problems related to school? Are there other things that you don't really want to talk about? What is the main issue that bothers you the most? Perhaps you can focus on that first. If you feel safe in confiding these problems with your teacher and if you trust your teacher, then you have nothing to worry about. Most often the first step is the hardest step. I suggest you take it one step at a time and reach out to someone whom you trust and who will not judge you for the things that you have done or for the problems that you are having. Maybe you can approach your teacher by saying, "Ma'am/Sir, can I talk to you in private?" or "Ma'am/Sir, can I talk to you after class?" Hope that helps. All the best.

You must be really proud of yourself that you are willing to talk to your teacher about your problems! I understand it's really difficult, but remember that teachers do care about their students' problems. Sometimes, you need to count until 5 and take the shot. It's okay to feel scared or nervous! Most people in your situation would feel the same thing. Try to take deep breaths, think of a nice picture and distract yourself! Talk to your teacher when he/she will be calmed and willing to listen to you! Answer their questions and help them to understand how you feel! Good luck!
