JRMSU Guidance Office - Siocon Campus

18/09/2026

To our dear students,

With the recent tragic incident that happened in South Cotabato, I cannot help but think about each one of you—not only as students, but as young people who are also trying to navigate life.

College is not always easy. Some of you are still adjusting to a new environment, new responsibilities, academic demands, and expectations. Some may be struggling with subjects, deadlines, financial concerns, friendships, bullying, relationship problems, family conflicts, loneliness, anxiety, depression, or the pressure to meet everyone’s expectations. Some of you may be carrying problems that you have never told anyone about.

And sometimes, the person sitting quietly in the classroom, laughing with friends, or saying “okay lang ako” may actually be fighting a very difficult battle inside.

I want you to know that you don’t have to carry everything alone.

Whatever you are going through right now, please pause before making a decision that could permanently hurt yourself or someone else. When anger becomes overwhelming, when pain feels unbearable, when you feel rejected or humiliated, or when school and family pressures make you feel like you can no longer continue—please step away, breathe, and reach out.

You may not be able to see a solution today, but that does not mean there is no solution.

If you are angry, talk to someone.
If you are hurting, talk to someone.
If you feel hopeless, talk to someone.
If you feel like giving up, please talk to someone before you do anything irreversible.

You can come to the Guidance Office. You can approach me personally. You can also send me a direct message, even if you don’t know exactly what to say. You don’t have to organize your thoughts or have the perfect words. You can simply say, “Ma’am, I need someone to talk to.” That is already enough.

And if you are worried that your problem is “too small” or that you might be bothering someone, please don’t think that way. Your feelings matter because you matter.

At the same time, if you notice a friend who suddenly becomes unusually withdrawn, angry, hopeless, aggressive, or talks about giving up, please don’t ignore it. You don’t have to solve their problem. Sometimes, simply staying with them, listening without judgment, and helping them reach a trusted adult or the Guidance Office can make a difference.

Let us remember that asking for help is not weakness. Walking away from a fight is not cowardice. Choosing to talk instead of hurting someone is strength. Choosing to seek help when you are hurting is courage.

Whatever is happening in your life right now, please give yourself the chance to see what comes next. A difficult semester can end. A failed subject can be taken again. A family problem can change. A painful relationship can heal. A mistake can be learned from. Even the darkest season of your life does not have to be the ending of your story.

Please choose to pause. Choose to talk. Choose to seek help. Choose life.

As your teacher and Guidance Advocate, I may not have all the answers, but I am willing to listen. You don’t have to face everything by yourself.

You are not alone. We are here for you. And your life is worth protecting. 🤍

— Your Guidance Advocate
