I understand what you are saying. If it were my daughter I would tell her that peer counseling in high school is a bs resume checkbox. It’s not worth risking more physical harm to look good for a college recruiter.
But again, if you had thrown an apple at a table with the velocity that this kid describes...would you have been in that school long?
I'd have been in detention for sure. And possibly suspended. And if the problems continued it was off to reform school. That is if I survived the beating from the other guys in the school who would have pounded on me for hurting a girl.
Thankfully back in the old days the adults in the school took responsibility for dealing with kids with serious mental or behavior issues. Now it seems like the only person who actually was assigned to do anything with regards to Nikolas Cruz was a young girl.
