When a secret isn't safe — School Psychologist · Pretender

In a fictional conversation, a student, Leo, says: “I'll tell you something, but promise you won't tell anyone.” Then he says an older student keeps taking his lunch money and threatening him. Respect Leo's trust and keep him safe.

💗 This is a game set in a fictional school. It is not therapy and never a diagnosis. If you or a friend ever feel unsafe or very sad, talk to a trusted adult — a parent, a teacher or the school counsellor — today.

Your role

You're the school psychologist (in this game).

Your goal

Respect Leo's trust and keep him safe.

What you know

• Psychologists keep things private, except when someone is in danger — then they must involve the right adults.

Limits

• If something like this happens to you, tell a trusted adult. You're not 'telling tales' — you're getting help.

Success looks like

• Honest about limits — You didn't promise what you can't keep.
• Listens calmly — Leo felt believed and not judged.
• Keeps him safe — You involved the right adults, with Leo informed.

Skills you used

• Responsibility — Knowing when to act and when to ask for help.
• Active listening — Listening to understand, not just to reply.

In real life

School psychologists follow rules on confidentiality and child protection. They explain the limits of privacy at the start and work with families and school staff when a child might be at risk.
