Reflection After conducting these surveys with adolescents, teachers, and the parent of an adolescent I was not really surprised about any of their answers. When I first sat down and asked these questions I considered how I might have answered if the roles were reversed.

I did not ask her why she felt this way because I did not want to make her feel uncomfortable.

He felt that he should understand what is going on in that individual's life.
Overall, I don't think that any of the students really stood out with the exception...
