Immigrant children face stress that school faculty might not understand. Kids go through huge life changes including being removed from their childhood home, their old culture, their friends and family. Undocumented students face major stress from fear of family member deportation or from financial struggles.

This can cause immigrant children to feel scared, confused and even angry. Their emotions could result in acting out at school or skipping class. Some teachers will scold their students without understanding why they are acting out. Kids can be helped greatly by being encouraged to talk about their feelings. Parents can talk with them after school to help kids feel more comfortable, and teachers can keep open communication, even if it is through drawings and sculptures.

If children are undocumented then they might come across new struggles as they enter adolescence. Undocumented immigrant students will be unable to find afterschool work, get a driver's license, or get financial aid for college. Undocumented children and their family members can seek family-based immigration and deportation defense options with the help of an attorney.
