When these situations occur, it may leave you wondering how concerned should I be? The general rule is that there is a greater level of concern:
- the longer the behaviour has persisted,
- the more risky or intense the behaviour is,
- the more the behaviour interferes with the student’s study and life, and
- the more distress it causes the individual or others.
