Conversations

Real conversations with your students.

"I feel bad talking to my parents, because I know they will still love me if I let my grades drop and they'll always support me, but it does feel like to much pressure sometimes, especially since my older brother was so good when it came to grades and academic performance. And I'm not close enough with any of my teachers to share this kind of stuff with them...that's a good way to look at it, thank you.”"

"thank you, you too!!"

"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"

"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."

"How do I make a paper airplane?"

"That's a good thought, everyone has something to contribute, sometimes it's just hard to see my part when others seem to have so much more to contribute than I do, I appreciate your help, this program is a really great idea!"

"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"

"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"

"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."

"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"

"I have friends but they never supported me through anything i guess i will need to find another way. You're really the only thing(?) that has ever actually listened to my thoughts"

"Okay so uh I've been thinking a lot about suicide recently, about how there isn't really any point to doing anything because you're just surviving to be ruled by someone else - I made a suicide poem and like know how I would do it and where and what I would dress in but I know I won't do it if that makes any sense? Idk what to feel"

"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"

"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"

"I was home from school for two weeks because I was depressed because my parents divorced this summer and I moved and haven't been feeling belonged at school"

"I enjoy all of this information"

"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"

"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"

"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."

"“Thats a good idea! Ive never tried that. Usually each day I just get a 1-2 hour nap...Alright i will definitely have to! Thank you so much”"

"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."

"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"

"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"

"Ok I'm scared for my speech in leadership"

"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"

"Man are u a real person? Also I am burnt out. But answer both questions plez"

"Sounds good! I really appreciate you talking to me. It means a ton to me and I had a good time. Thank you. Have a good night."

"The bullying has been happening for a few weeks and I honestly don't know why. Me and another girl got a note directed towards me called me a f---ing retard and behind my back this kid called me an ugly a--hole. i try not to let it bother me though it's not super important cos (this sounds weird and far fetched ik) likeeeeeee why would he call me ugly unless he thought i have a higher opinion of myself then that, so he prolly knows i couldn't care less about his words like they hurt but i know he's verbally abused at home and i don't put up with it and he can't handle not having the right reactions from me."

"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"

"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 😅"
