"Anonymous Questions, No Judgments: High School Counselor Creates Safe Space for Students to Open Up" In a bid to break down the barriers that often prevent teenagers from seeking help, high school counselor Krystalyn Musselman has come up with an innovative solution - an anonymous question box. The cardboard box, which has become a lifeline for students at Tecumseh Public Schools, allows students to submit their concerns, questions, or fears without fear of judgment or repercussions.
