Negative thoughts have a profound effect on students’ academic and social successes, behaviors, emotions, self-esteem, and happiness. Negative thinking and self-talk can hold them back and keep them from their full potential. In cognitive behavioral therapy, there are dozens of thinking errors that cause the mind to believe things that are just not true. Empower students to escape negative thinking by guiding them to reframe negative, faulty thoughts to positive thoughts. These engaging, highly relevant activities can support you in helping your students develop this critical life skill: the ability to take notice of their thoughts, to step back and view the “bigger” picture, and to decide how to act based on that more realistic perspective.

It’s essential that young people develop empathy for those who are different to them. This resource examines the short story of a teenage boy who transitioned to a female. Although he had shown multiple signs throughout the school year that he was born a male, but had no intention to live as one, he encountered scrutiny, bullying, unacceptance, and rejection. Readers are left with a better understanding of how lack of empathy, kindness, and acceptance can affect an LGBTQ+ individual's emotions, feelings, and sense of being.

Many LGBTQ+ students will find themselves struggling with the unknown. The way in which students respond to LGBTQ+ identities and relationships could provide key support and understanding for their peers. Within our classrooms, we may have teens who are discovering their own sexual identity. This resource, and story, highlights the importance and need for acceptance and support towards an LGBTQ individual's coming out journey.
