That would depend on who you're talking to. The school Social Worker can only share information if the student is going to hurt themselves or others. There is no confidentiality with other school officials unless the student is over 18 or emancipated. Any trouble the student may get into including illegal activities such as drug possession the school has the right to share… with your guardians. They may not, including the Social Worker or councilor, share any private information with other students. This includes if a friend lost their phone number & called the school to get it, they can't give out any personal information. If this is college we're talking about, the rules are a little different. In college you are the adult & if the teacher is sharing your private info in class it is up to you to stop it. And nobody should EVER let a teacher make them think it's ok for them to tell all other teachers your personal business so that everyone can "get on the same page". They WILL try to do this. They did it to me. Next thing I knew every teacher in the school was pulling me aside to talk about something embarrassing that I told one teacher in confidence. A Rule of Thumb: if you don't want everyone to know your business, tell the person who is legally obligated to keep their mouth shut. If the problem is getting introuble in school & not wanting your parents to find out, wait til the final bell rings to act a fool LoL
If you mean that a confidentiality STATUTE was violated, then you can use the statute's enforcement mechanism, which probably does not start withn a lawsuit, but with a complaint. You probably can never sue an individual employee, only charge the school IF you prevail on the charge.
Well clearly is your confidentiality was breached then you would feel exposed, vulnerable and you wouldnt feel like you would be able to trust anybody, especially if you lost confidentiality whilst in a professional setting such as with your doctor. Your pride and dignity may also suffer some damage, paranoia may set in as you may feel everybody knows etc.. xx

If you are worried about your confidentiality being breached in a medical sense, you have little to worry about. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ( HIPAA ) requires all healthcare workers to take extensive precautions to prevent confidential information from leaking out.
When a group member violates confidentiality within the group, it's important to address the issue directly with the person who breached confidentiality and remind the entire group about the importance of maintaining confidentiality. Additionally, discussing and reinforcing the group's confidentiality guidelines can help prevent future breaches. Depending on the severity of the violation, it may be necessary to establish consequences for repeated breaches to protect the trust and safety of the group.
Depends on the circumstances. Imagine if a priest - and he is sworn to confidentiality - hears a married parishioner confess he has slept with several married women in the village and the priest tells the man's wife... People who can't keep a secret don't have many close friends!
