Real conversations with your students.
"I lost my whole friend group of 4 years. I think that they were just so toxic. i wasn't invited to anything unless i texted them. i would leave with extreme anxiety and no one would ask me if i was ok. and they've all just changed since i met them. we don't have the same values or morals anymore"
"“Thank you so much for your support!”"
"I can't help in my classroom, we are online"
"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"
"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"
"hey thanks im sorry im just being bullied at school and i told the counselor and he's been helping me but it's only getting worse"
"I listened to your most recent podcast about confidence, and I thought it was epic.🤙 I had a question that's related to it about something I've been dealing with recently. I already typed it up to explain the situation, and it is very long haha. Is that alright...?"
"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"
"I'll try to gain the courage to talk to someone irl, if not I'll come back to talk to you- it's easy to release over text honestly 😅"
"I’m having major body image issues, and I can't focus on school because all I think about is how ugly I am"
"this kid said he loves me and i don't know how i feel!!! like he's so sweet but i just can't say it. it's hurting my brain"
"Thank you for being here for the students, it's great to have a person to talk to. Here's a little expression of my gratitude in video form (the audio is a little quiet so turn up the volume a little)"
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
"well, the overbearing feeling that everyone around is making you feel like you aren't good enough, like you're not deserving of the same kind of love if you're different"
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"I’m feeling nervous"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"You've been so helpful"
"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
"Man are u a real person? Also I am burnt out. But answer both questions plez"
"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"
"These tips will probably help a lot for now - I'd love to stay in touch, and I'll reach out if I'm struggling again (probably sooner rather than later 😅) thank you so so much"
"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."
"That's really comforting, thank you!"
"No worries, monster texts are usually the best 😊 That is really helpful actually- I'm a visual learner, and that is a good image. Do you have any suggestions on how to get back to the inner circle? I get so caught up in the dregs I forget how to get out"
"Ok thanks for your help 😀"
