> Kids should be made aware of the psychological help they can receive if they have personal issues. We had a psychologist at school, but I don't think anyone consulted them.

Do you think this was an issue of not being aware of the offering, as opposed to it being difficult to get help for one's personal issues because of stigma or feeling like you can handle it if you just try a little harder?

My experience was that the school psychologists were not competent or reasonable individuals. For example, the one in 5th grade who decided that my friend and I were each being abused because we did absurd things with her dollhouse like put figurines on the roof and in closets, just to be silly.

In addition to that even if you do have access to psychological help it won't be any good if the school psychologist is worse than useless (which seems to be common in this kind of field).
