<p>Issues some students discuss on that Facebook page are difficult for adults to discuss. </p>
<p>At some schools it can be hard or impossible for a student to discuss such feelings, because they will run the risk of being sent home by the school for their own good. <a href=“http://www.nytimes.com/2003/07/09/nyregion/on-education-counseling-at-phillips-and-its-consequences.html[/url]”>http://www.nytimes.com/2003/07/09/nyregion/on-education-counseling-at-phillips-and-its-consequences.html</a>

<p>Whether or not they feel they can discuss such feelings, some students will have them. I presume this is true at every high school and college. I would not assume that not having such a web page means every student is happy. It’s a mechanism which allows students to publicly express feelings they may not feel safe expressing to others.</p>
