It's been shared more than 400,000 times.Loewe teaches seventh and eighth grade at Collinsville Middle School in Oklahoma.
"I'm 46 and I haven't been through what these kids have been through. When I was a kid I was concerned about sports and going out with friends. The stuff they are going though broke my heart," she said. Among the"baggage" that her students shared: suicide, parents in prison, drugs in their families, and more.
Loewe told"GMA" that she's received thousands of positive comments about her post, and the best ones are from the parents of the students in her class."Their words of encouragement and support brought me to tears," she said. She clarified that any information she received about students who had to deal with abuse during this activity or any other time would be dealt with appropriately in the proper channels.
