Who will save the students?

Teachers?
They have their hands full
Teaching a constantly changing syllabus
Dealing with mountains of paperwork
Thinking of prices, promotion, and politics
Do they have any more time and space?
For tens of tortured souls
Hidden in plain sight?

Parents?
They have their heads full
With ideas on how the world should be
How people should act
What is allowed and banned
Some want the best, some the worst
And even if they are the best parents
Can students bare their souls to them?

Friends?
They have their hands tied
Like hedgehogs, we want to hug but not hurt
We are social animals, some are tame
Some are wolf in sheep clothing
Some are just animals
How do students tell
Which to hug and which to hurt?
