School Counseling
Omar is a 14-year-old, second-generation Jordanian-American student in the school where you are a counselor. After your classroom guidance activity on celebrations in different cultures, he approaches you to say that several of the other Muslim students are taunting him about some of the strong traditional religious views that his father, who is very active and influential in their community, is advocating. The other students, whose families have been in this country for several generations, frequently pick fights with Omar and exclude him from their social activities. Omar feels extremely upset and isolated;
he is torn between respecting his father and his religion and his desire to fit into his new country and community.
