TEDx Talks has a video called “The fight against teen suicide begins in the classroom” by Brittni Darras. She tells her personal stories as a teacher. The contents of the speech is very heavy. She tells of her actions to do her best to prevent suicide of her students. She continually tries all she can and is a very understanding teacher for her students. Brittni Darras supports her students.
The comments of the video are often people telling how they relate to the negative impact of teachers and also positive impacts. Teachers affect lives of students well into their future.
Please do not take her speech lightly. To teachers and students watching or reading please help others as much as you can. Even the smallest bit. Like asking how are you, having a positive attitude, bright tone of voice, finding the silver lining or even just smiling genuinely.
