<p>I’m not sure about anyone else, but for me, my counselor is a hard ass and is almost impossible to bond with him. He loves football players, and softball girls (weird combination, must like the manly type). I unfortunately don’t play football, but, I do play lacrosse, yet every time i greet him in the hallways, it’ll just be a plain old “hey, how ya doin”, on the other hand, if a football player says hi to him, he’ll walk towards them, shake their hand, and joke around. It’s not that i’m not a social type of person, but I don’t know what to do! I’m worried about getting a crappy, open-and-shut college rec from him. I try and plan meetings with him, but of course he’s always late, busy, talking on the phone, or doing other things. He is also very hard to talk to because he makes you feel like your question isn’t important, or as though you’re making an outrageous schedule request. My sister’s counselor did EVERYTHING for her, literally everything. From changing her schedule the day before school, to letting her pick her teachers. Also he says he’s not the type of counselor that you can talk to about personal problems, he says he can sign us up for an appointment with a social worker. What do I do about this? I’m a junior, and it is too late to change my counselor until next year, which would be difficult. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!</p>
<p>You greet him in the hallways? That’s more bonding than a lot of people have with their counselor…</p>
