This girl is clearly struggling, nobody acts like this for no reason.

[elliegillies]

she’s not crying because of her tights, or the girl that said she will fight her or because boys are saying mean things about her. she’s crying because she feels alone, the teachers think she’s getting upset about these things and she’s not she needs help and the teachers just can’t see it and saying things like ‘I’m sick of this’ will make her feel worthless and like they’ve given up on her. no wonder she puts up such a strong wall.

[KatyCx]

Why did the teacher not pull the other girl in thats threatening her? This is what I hate about schools

[ekuaosei]

Schools really have to stop blaming everything on hormones. Sure, that's what it is most of the time, but not always.

“CaLm YoUrSeLf DoWn”..A sentence that has never relieved anyone from stress. Just the opposite. Poor girl struggling so hard with her emotions and not given the tools to deal with them 💔

[neverice]

This isn’t fair on her, she is obviously emotionally unstable and the teachers are telling her she is being naughty but she isn’t she can’t help it, it isn’t her fault. They need to act like responsible adults and help her not shout at her but reason with her and put her in a class with nicer people. It isn’t her fault. Shame on all of the teachers at that school.

no one:
absolutely no one:
not even a soul:
Katelyn out of nowhere: WhY ArE YoU StArInG At mEh????

[HollyLou]

“I’ve had enough of you” that’s definitely a great way to make a child feel accepted when she’s obviously so alone and deeply troubled lol

[catherinehindle]

She seems like she has really bad anxiety that she cant control

[lilyb]

Her face when the teacher said her skirt wasn’t wet 😂😂She was like 👁👄👁

[onepumptrix]

Don’t even lie, all our jaws dropped when they said she was 12

[issavirgo]

“Why you staring at me”, was really telling of a deeper issue.

[lea]

I was so confused wen I found out she was 12

[rxllins_]

She’s not crying because of her tights AND she doesn’t overreact. I know how she feels, it’s sensory issues because that’s what I went through. I used to cry over the littlest things and I couldn’t help it.

[maisyandrea]

sorry but i’ve just finished year 11 and she looks older than me

[SA-wbhc]

For anyone that wanted to know she wasn’t acting like this for no reason. It was confirmed in the new series that she actually has ADHD and since her diagnosis is doing better in school. It kind of annoys me tho that they blamed this all on hormones when actually she was really struggling and needed help. Glad she’s doing better now tho :)

[arminarlert]

School puts it as “she over reacting” or “it’s because she’s a girl” no it’s mental health issues.

[kyrakamboj]

notice how she said she doesn't want to go home? im pretty sure somethings going on at home, i wouldnt even think of behaving like this at 12

[TheGeographyWatch]

For those who haven’t seen Season 2, Katelyn was diagnosed with ADHD and is now getting support and doing much better at school.

[kezorlow]

Can we take a moment to appreciate the boy who asked Caitlin is she was ok when she was outside the classroom and she was really nice then, so maybe she would be nicer if people weren’t shouting at her and being mean.
