A: One of my students told me she was very depressed today.

B: Why?

A: Her father is dying.

B: Oh, that’s very sad.

A: Yeah, she’s (broken up) about it, poor kid.

B: What did you do?

A: I talked to her for a while, but she’s really depressed. So, I made an (appointment) with the school counselor for her.

B: That’s a good idea. The counselor is a (psychologist). He’s better trained to handle these (sorts of) things.

A: Yeah, that’s what I told her. I’m glad she’s (reaching out for) help, instead of trying to deal with this (on her own).

B: Yeah, me too.
