We need more Psychologists

By Artemis2 | Green pot-pourri | 10 Jul 2025


hello my dears, it's me, who's come back to life...im sorry but university got me so bad that i left everything that wasn't it and i mean even at films like those of Marvels i'm still at the one called Avengers Endgame and i have Dsiney+ (now you know how bad it is); my mental health is kind of all over the place, so while meditating the idea of going to therapy i also got into the mood to write about the violence int kids and also why it happens. In my country in big cities it's them who are more dangerous than anything, at times there is even a curfiew cause it's dangeraous to walk even in big groups...so please enjoy.

Today more than ever, talking about prevention means talking about schools. Classrooms are not just places of learning — they are real indicators of youth distress. It is there, between desks and hallways, that the first signs of loneliness, anger, and disillusionment appear. And too often, that is exactly where crime begins.

No one is born a criminal (those are extremely rare cases...of pure evil) — they become one. And that path has deep roots in childhood and adolescence. Fragile families, complex social environments, the absence of solid emotional references — all of these are factors that, if not identified early, can turn a struggling teenager into a marginalized adult, who oftens results into someone who commits crimes.

In this context, the role of the school psychologist becomes essential. It’s not a luxury — it’s a necessity. There must be someone who listens, who understands, who helps give a name and meaning to what young people are feeling. Someone who can intervene before distress becomes anger, and anger becomes violence.

Investing in psychologists in schools is not just an educational issue — it’s a matter of social policy and preventative justice since most problems like said before starts there. It’s a concrete way to build a healthier, less violent, more aware society. Because prevention is far more effective — and humane — than punishment....or at least should be the first choice.

well to those who got here, thank you, i'll try to write more (can't promise anymore, already failed) until then see youu!
