Answer
Hello, thank you for reaching out to Ask Pat and telling us how you are feeling. Â
We are sorry to hear that you are feeling upset about what happened to you in school. You say that you did something stupid, and you got suspended for it, and your school think you need help with anger issues, however you feel you do not need any help with your anger. Â
It sounds like you feel you have been treated unfairly for what happened and now you are overthinking things, believing there is something wrong with you. You have a right to feel happy and safe in school, have you been able to talk to a trusted adult in your life about what is going on for you right now? Â
