Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Glad you’re able to take an approach to help your daughter’s mental health. Middle school and high school are such difficult times for so many people and its effects can last a lifetime.
Thank you. And definitely about how difficult it can be. A lot of damage has already been done that can never be undone and she still has moments where she breaks down over some minor thing even though she's been out of school for months now. We were originally thinking she could start at a different public school next year, but I honestly don't know how long she will need to heal from this. At least she's overall a happier kid now. Of course, what kid wouldn't be happy when you can do your math sitting at a cafe drinking bubble tea?
We've gone down to a single income because I have to stay home and we're lucky my wife has a good enough job so that we can afford to do that with some sacrifices. I know a lot of parents aren't that lucky, unfortunately. A lot of kids who could use this kind of healing are not going to get it. Their state may not offer it and their parents may not be able to afford it. I wish everyone had an option to do this for their kids if that's what their kids needed.
