Confused About Melissa & Darling Posted: 02-19-04 13:52pm
Okay my deal is that when I read the
letter that melissa wrote(tonya). She
said that a social worker was assigned to
her for trying to commit suicide. I
understood that far. What I don't
understand is that darling just wrote
today about leaving school early. I
don't understand is she a student or is
she a social worker which is it? To my
understanding highschools have school
counselors, not social workers. I don't
want to offend darling, I just want to
understand what is going on. I'm just
trying to be a little cautious with who I
could trust and who I can't.

Actually i'm not offended at your post
simply confused about why you named the
post confused about melissa and darling.
Anyways I am not a practising social
worker. Let me explain. I am 23 years
old (i'm sad about that haha my birthday
was february 8th I was born in 1981 im
old!) I completed a bachelor of arts
degree in childhood and family relations
at the university of western ontario at
the faculty of king's college. This in
lamen's terms is a ba in social work. I
currently entered a college (not
university) in order to get hands on
training in my field of choice. In my
training (where I circulate group homes
and hospitals with other experienced
social workers) I come in contact with
many people who have had numerous
difficulties in their lives. School
counsellors are not (caps) responsible for
suicide attempts that land children in the
hospital. I talked to tonya before
disclosing this but about a year ago
(during the beginning of my training) we
(the team of us consisting of both social
workers and psychiatrists, occupational
therapists etc.) were called to the
emergency room of sick children's hospital
in toronto ontario canada. Upon arrival
I met a beautiful girl who had just
attempted to overdose on tylenol and she
was in the middle of drinking the many
cups of charcoal necessary in order to
stop the medication from continuing to
enter her system. I spoke with her on my
own and with the my fellow co-workers and
I see her now on a fairly regular basis to
catch up with her and her family and to
make sure that things are running smoothly
because there were issues before. I hope
all of this makes sense to you because
when a child attempts suicide social
workers are immediately involved in order
to aid both the family and the child and
determine the causes to help solve them.
Now it's up to you whether you would like
to trust me or not I simply love this
forum and thought that tonya could get
some support here. Maybe I was wrong

Oh and I wanted to add what do you mean
the letter melissa wrote tonya? Melissa
didn't even know tonya so i'm really
confused. Melissa sent a letter to nikki
explaining herself.

Darling thanks for replying, I get it now.
I just confused some of the names.
Thanks, I hope you do well in what you are
taking up in school.
