My house is haunted. I have stories about it posted ....

For some strange reason when I get high (weed) I have like two type of hearing? Best way I can explain it is i can hear the person in front of me, and then further away, I can hear people talking on a different key?

I've read previously that some people say if you are already in tune with that realm, being intoxicated can make the connection stronger? Is this a thing? Or am I only paying attention to that sense ?

Has anyone ever experienced this?

I really enjoy checking out cemeteries and seeing the dates on some of the stones.... today as I was walking through one I experienced the absolute worst head pain on my right side over my eyebrow... it felt like someone was beating my head. My eye was twitching.... I continued to walk and it was so painful.

I don't know if it's paranormal but my friend who experiences things as well had mentioned she feels pain, sees or hears things. I've never really felt pain like this. It just gave me such a weird vibe. It finally stopped hurting after we left.

Very long Rant! Lol!

I've worked in the school system for almost 10 years now and it has slowly gotten worse as time goes by. My biggest issue is that the ministry thinks it is a good idea to close down specialized programs for kids with special needs, behaviour needs and Learning disabilities. Throwing the kids into the gen pop of school is such a bad idea, it causes unnecessary stress to all... but especially the kids with the disabilities.

I'm 100% for integration. Integration only works if there is support. And one EA for 5 kids with severe needs is NOT a solution. The EA is working with the following needs- most are diagnosed level 3 autism. - of all only 1 can hold a pencil/colour.

1. Kid 1 - 6yrs - autism, nonverbal, diapers, hits, scratches. - functions at 18 months per her Dr's. Z lots of screaming and crying.

2. kid 2 - 4yrs- Autism/behavioral challenges - always hitting, biting, kicking etc - nonverbal (can say yes, no, and basic one word things). Was only recently diagnosed a few months prior. being tested for ODD

3. kid 3- 4yrs - autism, nonverbal (can say yes, no, please)

4. kid 4 - 5 yrs - autism, nonverbal, lots of screaming and crying (they are learning how to use the system to communicate so its super frustrating for them) - if attention isnt on them from the EA - they are Throwing things across the class, hitting kids, climbing on furniture.

5. kid 5 - 5yrs old - level 1 autism - needs constant reminders to keep hands to self.

If each of these kids had their own support in a smaller setting they would thrive. Kid 5 is very capable of being without support but has learned there is so much going on that they can cause havoc 😆

Kid 1 and 4 do struggle to be in a class of 30. Its loud and a lot goes on. They need a small class. But the system says "they are too young. We wait until they are in grade 2" - like why are we wasting prime learning/teaching years. Make it make sense.

I'm a youth worker and some days I'm just putting out fires. There are so many mental health issues with kids nowadays...people have zero idea how bad it really is. This year alone, I had 3 kids disclose they self harm (one was so bad, they were covered in scars wrist to shoulder, then they were committed because they attempted to take their life). This Child was 12 years old. I also work with quite a few kids who go from 0-100 when angry and lose it. Throwing things, getting into fights etc. Problem is, I have 0 time to actually provide strategies to prevent these moments.

We need more youth workers in schools. Social workers need to be available more and should not be dealing with 10+ schools. It's not feasible.

We need a change. We need support. It's easy to say "you're fine" from above. People making decisions in schools and about schools need to spend a week IN a school dealing with the shit we deal with every day.

I'm sorry to those of you who get hurt by the kids you work with. It sucks. I've been there. Keep your heads up! We got this!
