  10. Room 32 thinks that when we’re feeling disconnected and feel like we don’t belong we can ask to join a group and join Polyfest. We can ask for help at school, help from teachers, friends that we trust, school counsellor. We can aslo talk to our parents and let them know how we feel. They know best!

  11. Info Jam Pizza Question…
    Manurewa Central School – Kokako thinks… We think it is important to be brave and talk to friends, teachers or family if we are feeling down. Speak up to people even if it is scary, it can be a big relief. You could ring a helpline, such as 0800 Whats Up) to speak to someone too if you think that would be helpful. Some other suggestions were, think of happy times. read a book, get some fresh air, keep busy and find a quiet space.

  12. When we are feeling disconnected, left out, or like we don’t fit in, there is a few things we can do.
    We can ask if we can join in, or if the game/activity can be changed to something we can participate in.
    We can purposefully look around ourselves and find things, groups, activities, or people that we can make or find a connection with.
    That includes making new friends, joining new clubs, and other similar things.

    I hope I earn the pizza! 🙂

  13. Room 12 at Te Horo School thought that if you felt disconnected and like you don’t fit in you could look for other people who might feel the same as you. You could look for a new group of people/individuals to try and make friends with rather than seeking the same people. You could also seek help from your family and friends. Maybe you could join clubs outside of or in school to widen the group of people you interact with. Try new things and do things you like. Also don’t let it get to you and try and stay positive.

  14. My answer to the secret question. If you feel left out or disconnected, you can talk to a trusted adult E.G parent, teacher, or caregiver. You can also join a sports team or club, talk with someone or do something you enjoy with friends or people you trust.

    Reach Out: Take the initiative to connect with others. This could be reaching out to friends, and family, or even joining new social groups or activities where you can meet like-minded people. Express Yourself: Share your feelings with someone you trust. Sometimes, just talking about what you’re experiencing can provide relief and understanding.

    Self-Reflection: Spend some time reflecting on why you might be feeling disconnected. Engage in Self-Care: Take care of yourself physically and emotionally. It’s also natural to feel disconnected sometimes, but it’s important to address these feelings and reconnect with yourself and others.

  17. My answer to the secret question is, If you feel disconnected or like you don’t fit in, you should talk to a trusted adult or parent. If this is unsafe to do so, Please talk to helpline or any mental health line. If it is affecting your mental health and you have a trusted parent, you could try therapy. When I go to therapy I have a group of people who are also in the same boat as me that I contact and we connect. it is amazing because you get to relate and have someone who understands what you are going through. You could also listen to a mental health podcast so you can reflect on what you’re going through. For me I love Voices Of Hope. They give me hope and give me inspiration. They go around schools and do mental health talks. Talking about bullying, disorders and habits and more. Here are a few helplines you could call or text:

    0800 1737 1737
    0800 111 757
    Youthline- 0800 376 633
    Counselling for free for teens and kids over the phone: 0800 942 8787

    If you are feeling unsafe in any situation please call 111.

    You could also try distraction therapy. This is something I do that is helpful where you do something you like or enjoy to take your mind off things. This can be done anywhere, although in some places it may have to differ. This could mean if you are in the car you cannot lay down and watch your favourite show but you could journal and think about all the exciting things you have coming up in your life.

    There are many different ways but if you have negative energy in your life from friends, you need to cut them off. You will be much happier. If someone does not make you happy, they do not deserve you.

  18. Hi I am from Te Horo school and I think there are 28 chocolate eggs in the basket. I hope you had a great easter. Thanks. 🙂

  19. Hi I am from Te Horo school and I think this is what you should do if you don’t feel like you belong. I think you should step away from your group and get out and get to know people. I also think you should just be your self and don’t try to change so people would like you because it is unnatural and you would not know if they are a true friend because if that are they will except you for who ever you are. Also I think you should talk to the group or your parents about it and say why you feel disconnected and if there is anything you or someone else can do anything about it. Thanks. 🙂

  22. If children are feeling disconnected encourage them to talk about their feelings. Get them to talk to an adult or buddy they feel safe with. You could have a dog or pet that they could talk to – practice what they want to say and build the confidence to talk to someone. Run a fill my bucket programme in the class and get the children to talk about supporting each other. There could be a quiet corner with mindful colouring in that the students can use to help them feel better or in the corner there could be like an activity that children can do that will give the message about what they are feeling and in need of help. This is also a way of taking away the nerve racking feeling of telling someone how you are feeling.

  25. i think that you could help out and help the other people that are down and stand up for the other so that they dont feel left out anymore Ahziah, feilding intermediate

  26. If you are feeling disconnected and like you don’t fit in you can talk to someone like your parents, friends and maybe even your teacher. If you don’t talk to anyone you could feel even more disconnected and become more lonely,

  27. you can tell an adult they might do something if not you can find another friend group to hang with and talk to, because it would make you feel pretty down to see people walking around and looking at you by yourself,or maybe you could even find a club to join and people in there will like the stuff as you.

  28. if you are feeling left out just talk because sometimes when u feel left out u dont talk much so just talk and thats how u can get to know them more and thats how they get to know you more!!!!
